Translation

That gets said, listen, is the book of God.
One that sayeth is Him, in truth.
Having said rebirth in suppression, I hear.
I should say then and hence,
A saga second, say why?

could it be 'ija' meaning earth?

could it be "ija" meaning earth??

I have looked through a couple dictionaries but could not find an alternative meaning for "nija" or found a word called "ija"

In "bhumija", "ija" might mean "born of", but that doesn't gel here well

There is a thought that the second poem may not be Potana's

if that is the case I could possibly believe it. There is a big difference structurally between the first and second. The second is very decorative (almost needlessly at places) where as the first one is stark in its beauty and simplicity.
