by Tulsidas (1532 - 1623)
Translation by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869 - 1948)
None, Lord, in all the world
Language: English after the Sanskrit (संस्कृतम्)
None, Lord, in all the world Is generous and merciful as thou: Freely thou helpest, And askest no return, no recompense: None, none is like to thee: Thou showerest on thy worshippers All princely gifts: And of thy grace thou answerest royally The prayers of those who call to thee.
