Oh! mighty “Peepal” tree,
We bow to thee,
none is as wise as thee.
Since, ages you have given
-
enlightenment, wisdom and
vision.
Your one pious touch,
can heal a heart, hurt so
much.
The amaranthine blessings you shower,
give life an unending
power.
Saints meditate beneath
your shade,
gaining strength to wade.
King of trees you are,
like the pole star, among all
stars.
We bow to thee,
Oh! mighty “Peepal” tree.
Ficus religiosa is called “Peepal” in Hindi language.
