The Prayer
of
Milarepa
(transl.
I.
Durovic)
Neither
friend
to
heed
my
happiness,
Nor
foes
to
heed
my
travails:
If I can
die
alone in
this
mountain
hermitage,
A
yogi’s
wish
will
have
been
answered
!
Neither
friends
to
heed
my
dotage,
Nor
sisters
to
heed
my
malady:
If I can
die
alone in
this
mountain
hermitage,
A
yogi’s
wish
will
have
been
answered
!
Neither
men
to
heed
my
death
Nor
vultures
to
contemplate
the
decay of
my
remains:
If I can
die
alone in
this
mountain
hermitage,
A
yogi’s
wish
will
have
been
answered
!
Bitches
will
suck
on
flesh and
bone
while
Insects
feast on
nerve and
sinew:
If I can
die
alone in
this
mountain
hermitage,
A
yogi’s
wish
will
have
been
answered
!
At my
door, no
trace of
man
and
Within,
no
trace of
blood:
If I can
die
alone in
this
mountain
hermitage,
A
yogi’s
wish
will
have
been
answered
!
Around my
corpse,
no
pallbearers
and
At my
death,
no
mourners:
If I can
die
alone in
this
mountain
hermitage,
A
yogi’s
wish
will
have
been
answered
!
My whereabouts
no
companion to
know
and
Present
abode none
to
point:
If I can
die
alone in
this
mountain
hermitage,
A
yogi’s
wish
will
have
been
answered
!
In a cave
on
the
rocky crag
in
this
barren
land,
May
this
supplication
of
a moribund
beggar
Benefit
migrators !
Should it
befall,
the
[yogi’s]
wish
will
have
been
answered !
