Classic Poem

Today if we should go to him he will give us gifts! Should we wait
for a little while and then go to him again, he will give us gifts!
and should we make a habit of going to him, he would not even think
he has given to us before but then every single day, without
fail, he would fill our empty plates to our hearts' content!
May Korran with the handsome spear complete, just as he wishes,
his difficult labor of combat, so that his king may be happy!
If you want many herds of fierce bulls, with sheds to hold them,
if you want heaps of paddy piled up in the fields, if you want
valuable ornaments and elephants, that great man is capable
of granting them! And this worth of his raised on Righteousness
is valid for others just as it is for his own people! Because this is
how he is, may my lord not even suffer the pain of a thorn
in the sole of a foot! May all his efforts
prosper so that people may live on in this world where the generous are rare!
