ஶ்ரீ ஜநகஜா ப்ரபத்திஸார ஸ்தோத்ரம்

A surrender-hymn by name, but nearly every verse of it is a petition in the negative, and what it asks for is character rather than rescue. Let me never injure anyone by word or body or thought. Let people laugh and blame and speak ill of me; let my mind not move from where it stands. Let me dread censure, but only so far as never to do the thing that deserves it. Let me see a mother in every woman and a brother in every child. No betrayal of trust, no meanness, no appetite for what the texts forbid. Let forbearance, patience, unfeigned mercy, humility and gentleness never leave my heart. One verse gives the theology the whole list rests on: the wise do not call your court a place where justice rules but one where forgiveness does. It ends with the poet living on her leavings and asking what else there could be. Its colophon names Khojidevacharya.
