From the womb of the mother/ came the beautiful indwelling of the Holy Spirit,/ most glorious to Joasapha,/ and from blessed Barlaam the priceless pearl, Christ,/ you received into your heart,/ and by Divine Baptism India You enlightened, / corrected the wickedness of your father, / brought him from darkness to the light of God’s understanding, / and, leaving the corruptible kingdom on earth, / reached the desert and his teacher, / also in Heaven from Life-Giving Trinity/ crowned with a royal crown, // pray for us who honor your honorable memory.
