O Lord, bending down before thee,
 

With folded hands, I beg only one thing for me -
 
-
May I be born again in the line of the farmers

the line of the cultivators so that he might be able to adore Him as

his family deity. Therefore, to him a rebirth, even in a not so

reputed family, is welcome for the sake of God's grace which, it is

traditionally believed, always flows towards the poor and down-

trodden unconditionally.
