You began at the white city and Slowly trudged across the world
Covered in the cloak of Ahimsa Led by faith and not by fetish
Safe on a land of love and truth You built the Shilpa of freedom
For a beloved motherland And for the world transcendent
A loin cloth filtering out light From the darkness around you
