[INDOLOGY] A distraction from the Coronavirus

[Jan E.M. Houben]

Same translation but with slightly adjusted (epic) Sanskrit (in view of
sense and metre):

पत्त्रं पुष्पं फलं तोयं यो मे भक्त्या प्रयच्छति ।
तदहं भक्त्युपहृतमकोरोणाहताद्गिरे ॥

Who offers to me with devotion,
A leaf, a flower, fruit, or water.
I accept that, offered with devotion,
>From one who is free from the Coronavirus.
