A (request for) Prayer

[Guest guest]

Following is the English translation of the Tamil prayer given at the

end of the text. I need your HELP to make into a poetry. It should be

very BRIEF. It should be in one or all of the following languages:

Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, Sanskrit, and English (which I can understand

here and there). Any help to make the Tamil text given below more brief

and more poetic will be GRATEFULLY appreciated.

 

 

English Translation:

 

O Mother, If I were to be born here again, bless me that I will worship

you always. Let me not run behind mortal men seeking favors and serving

them for livelihood. Instead, let me live by serving you. Let that

alone be the source of my sustenance. Let me not run across continents

to learn mundane things which serve only to seek ephemeral weath.

Instead let me learns veda-s and other texts which teach me to worship

you. When there is such a sweet path to live, bless my mind to remain

focussed on you without getting distracted by useless things.
