.............could live throughout the four ages, or even ten times more,
.............was known throughout the nine continents and followed by all,
.............had a good name and reputation, with praise and fame throughout the world,
- Still if Lord does not bless him, then who cares? What is the use? In such a case...
............one would be considered a lowly worm Among worms,
............even contemptible sinners would hold him in contempt.
- THOU alone bless the unworthy with virtue, and bestow virtues on the virtuous.
- No one else can even be imagined who could bestow any virtue upon unworthy.
