The Story of Karkati

1000 years

Karakati began to shrink

she wandered over the face of the earth

silently she suffered

she reflected deeply on the nature of the world and of the self

The Tapas-Karma thou hast done requires a consequence

It matters not to me whether this body live or die

Here is the food I look for

A Thing without Substance

Resolve this little doubt of mine

pleasing is this talk to me

Deliverance from all Doubt

I am very happy to have found you in this forest

The people made a temple to her

May all cross safely over the difficulties of life, may all see happy days, may all attain wisdom, may all rejoice everywhere. AUM.
