Analysis of Keep Up Your Promise
Mirabai 1498 (Kudki, Pali district, Jodhpur State) – 1556 (Dwaraka)
Take my arm
and keep up your promise!
They call you the refugeless refuge,
they call you redeemer of outcasts.
Caught in a riptide
in the sea of becoming,
without your support I'm a shipwreck!
You reveal yourself age after age
and free the beggar
from her affliction.
Dark One, Mira is clutching your feet,
at stake is your honor!
