4. The cocks crow, the birds chirp, It is already time, come!The dark night has fled, come!

5. The trumpets blow, the drums beat, Gold-bright Ramana, come! Knowledge awake, come!

6. The crows caw, it is morn, Snake-decked Lord, come! Blue-throated Lord, come!

7. Ignorance has fled, the lotuses blossom, Wise Lord Ramana, come! Crown of the Vedas, come!

8. Untainted by qualities, Lord of Liberation, Benevolent Ramana, come! Lord of Peace, come!

9. Sage and Lord, One with Being-Knowledge-Bliss, Lord dancing in joy, come!

10.Love on the summit of knowledge, beyond pleasure and pain, come! Blissful Silence, come!
