DASAKOM 2

STANZA 1

I WORSHIP YOU, SEEING IN MY MIND, YOUR BODY,
WITH CROWN BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN,
FOREHEAD ADORNED WITH SANDAWOOD PASTE MARK POINTING UP,

LOVING LOOK,

HANDSOME WITH A SWEET SMILE,

WELLSHAPED NOSE,

FISHSHAPED EARRINGS HANGING FROM THE EARS,

NECK SHINING WITH THE KOUSTHUBHA GEM,

BREAST BEAMING WILDFLOWER GARLAND,

NECKLACE,

AND THE SHREEVALSA MARK, MY LORD

STANZA 2

MY ONLY SUPPORT IS YOUR FORM, WITH FOUR HANDS,

CARRYING GADA, CONCH, WHEEL, AND LOTUS FLOWER,

WEARING YELLOW CLOTHES BOUND BY BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN WAISTBAND,

FEET, PRETTY LIKE LOTUSFLOWER,

WHICH ERADICATES THE WOES OF ALL WHO WORSHIP THEM

STANZA 3

WHO WILL NOT BE ATTRACTED BY YOU,

WHO IS GREATER THAN THE GREATEST,

MORE ENCHANTING THAN THE MOST ENCHANTING,

MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL,

MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN THE MOST ATTRACTIVE,

MORE WONDERFUL THAN THE MOST WONDERFUL, MY LORD!

STANZA 4

GODDESS LAKSHMI,

AFTER GETTING SUCH A SWEET HUSBAND,

DOES NOT REMAIN WITH HER DEVOTEES,

AND

BECAUSE OF HER GREAT LOVE OF YOU,

GOT THE NAME OF BEING UNDEPENDABLE, ALAS!

STANZA 5

IT CAN BE EASILY PROVED THAT THIS IS THE REASON,

BECAUSE SHE REMAINS FOR A LONG TIME,

WHERE THERE ARE YOUR DEVOTEES, MEDITATING

AND TELLING EACH OTHER STORIES FROM YOUR LIFE

STANZA 6

YOUR HANDSOME ATTRACTIVE FORM OVERWHELMS THE HEARERS,

IMMEDIATELY ATTRACTS ALL WHO SEE,

DELIGHTS THE MIND,

RAISES THE HAIR ALL OVER THE SKIN,

AND COVERS THE BODY WITH TEARS OF EXTREME JOY

STANZA 7

THE YOGA NAMED BHAKTHIYOGA,

THUS FULL OF JOY, IS SAID TO BE THE HIGHEST FORM OF YOGA,

BY ALL THE GREAT YOGIS, AND IS SUPERIOR TO KARMA AND JNANA YOGAS

THIS YOGA, WHICH IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF LOVE,

IS ATTAINABBLE BY ALL PEOPLE EASILY, MY LORD

STANZA 8

DOING DUTIES WITHOUT DESIRE,

CALLED KARMAYOGA,

SHOWS RESULTS AFTER A LONG TIME,

THE OTHER, JNAANAYOGA IS VERY DUFFICUT, AND AMBIGUOUS,

THEREFORE BHAKTHI, WHICH IS THE SAME AS LOVE,

IS THE MOST ENJOYABLE, THE BEST OF ALL THE YOGAS, NO DOUBT

STANZA 9

AFTER PERFORMING THE VERY STRESSFUL DUTIES FOR A LONG TIME,

ONE BECOMES FIT FOR JNAANA OR BHAKTHI,

AND TRYING TO KNOW YOUR NATURE AS THE UNIVERSAL SELF THROUGH DRY REASONING, WITHOUT FEELING,

ATTAIN YOUR WORLD, AFTER SEVERAL BIRTHS!

STANZA 10

ON THE OTHER HAND, DEVOTION TO YOU,

IMMEDIATELY SHOWS RESULT

MAY I HAVE THAT HEART-MELTING LOVE

QUICKLY, MY LORD

 

DASAKOM 3

STANZA 1

I PICTURE YOUR FORM,

CROWN BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN,

ROUND DOT SHINING ON THE BROAD FOREHEAD,

EYES MOIST WITH TEARS OF CONCERN,

FACE TENDER WITH LOVING SMILE, NOSTRILS WELLFORMED,

FISHSHAPED EARRINGS LIGHTING UP THE CHEEKS,

KOUSTHUBHAGEM ROUND THE NECK,

CHEST GLOWING WITH WILDFLOWER GARLANDS,

AND WITH BEAUTIFUL NECKLACES OF GOLD

STANZA 2

I COME FOR REFUGE TO YOUR LOTUS FEET,

SEEK PROTECTION FROM YOU WHO SHINES WITH HANDSOME BLUELOTUS-COLOUR,

AND CARRIES GADA, CONCH, IN THE EIGHT HANDS, ADORNED

WITH CROWN, BANGLES, BRACELET, BANGLES, GADA, CONCH, WHEEL, AND LOTUS, MY LORD

STANZA 3

WHO WILL NOT BE DRAWN TO YOUR FORM,

WHICH IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THE MOST POWERFUL,

MORE CHARMING THAN THE MOST CHARMING,

MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL,

SWEETER THAN THE SWEETEST, MORE GLITTERING THAN THE MOST GLITTERING,

MORE WONDER-INSPIRING THAN THE MOST ENCHANTING, MY LORD

STANZA 4

THE GODDESS OF PROSPERITY, AFTER ALWAYS, BEING WITH YOU,

WHO IS SO SWEET, UNWILLING TO LEAVE YOU,

DOES NOT, EVEN WITH YOUR DEVOTEES, LIVE LONG,

SO SHE, ALAS, GOT, OUT OF HER FIRMNES, BORN OF HER GREAT LOVE,

THE NAME OF BEING UNDEPENDABLE, MY LORD

STANZA 5

IT CAN BE EASILY PROVED THAT SHE DOENOT REMAIN LONG

WITH EVEN YOUR DEVOTEES, ONLY BECAUSE

OF THE STRENGTH OF THE FIRMNESS OF HER LOVE

AND SHE STAYS LONG WITH THOSE

WHO MEDITATE DEVOUTLY ON YOUR MARVELLOUS POWERS,

AND SING HYMNS OF PRAISE, MY LORD

STANZA 6

AND WHOEVER HEARS THESE HYMNS,

WHICH DRIP FRESH NECTAR,

WOULD BE THRILLED SO MUCH AS TO CAUSE THE HAIR TO STAND ON END,

IMMEDIATELY DRAWS ONE'S ATTENTION TO THEM,

AND WETS THE BODY WITH TEARS OF MOUNTING INTENSE JOY

STANZA 7

BECAUSE OF ALL THESE, THE WISE SAGES EMPHATICALLY SAY

THAT THE PATH OF DEVOTION, BHAKTHIYOGA, IS VERY MUCH SUPERIOR

TO THE OTHER TWO, KARMAYOGA AND JNAANAYOGA

AND BECAUSE BHAKTHIYOGA IS A PATH OF LOVE,

IT CAN BE FOLLOWED WITHOUT STRESS BY ANYBODY, MY LORD

STANZA 8

DOING ONE'S PRESCRIBED DUTY, IS THE PATH OF KARMAYOGA,

ITS BENEFITS COME SEVERAL YEARS LATER,

AND MAY OR MAY NOT COME,

WHILE JNAANAYOGA IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT

SO THE BHAKTHIYOGA, BY ALL ACCOUNTS,

IS THE BEST AND THE EASIEST OF ALL, MY LORD

STANZA 9

AFTER YEARS OF PRACTISING KARMAYOGA,

WITH GREAT EFFORT, FOR SEVERAL YEARS,

ONE MASTERS IT, BUT WHAT OF IT?

WITH MIND PURIFIED NOW, HE WILL BECOME FIT FOR BHAKTHI OR FOR KARMAM,

 BUT, WITHOUT ANY FEELING,

WADING THROUGH THE DIFFICUT STUDY OF LOGIC,

COME TO YOU AFTER SEVERAL BIRTHS

STANZA 10

BHAKTHI COMES AUTOMATICALLY,

BY IMMERSING IN THE INTERESTING STORIES OF YOURS,

LEADING FAST TO THE STATE OF UNSTAINED KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH OF EXISTENCE,

PLEASE MAY I QUICKLY ATTAIN, BY YOUR GRACE,

THAT STATE OF BEING SUBMERGED IN THE LOVE OF YOU, MY LORD

  -

 

WHILE THE OTHER, JNAANAYOGA, IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW,

AND SO BHAKTHIYOGA IS THE BEST THE EASIEST, MY LORD

 

 

 

 

 

DASAKOM 4

STANZA 1

I CONSIDER FORTUNATE THOSE WHO GO ABOUT

RECITING YOUR NAMES,

IMMERSED IN A SEA OF JOY,

AND CONTINUOUSLY THINKING OF YOU,

AND TELLING YOUR STORIES,

AND HAPPY WITH A SENSE OF FULFILMENT OF LIFE

STANZA 2

MY MIND, ALAS!

AFFLICTED BY DISEASE,

IS NOT ABLE TO CONCENTRATE ON WORSHIPPING YOU,

MY LORD, HAVE MERCY ON ME,

I SHALL LIVE IN SOME SOLITARY PLACE,

RECITING YOUR NAMES,

HAPPY IN THE RECOLLECTION OF YOUR LOTUSLIKE FEET

STANZA 3

IF YOUR MERCY IS THERE WHAT IS UNATTAINABLE BY MEN!

WHAT IS IT FOR YOU TO CURE ME, MY LORD?

KINDLY ERADICATE MY DISEASE, AND MAKE ME

YOUR STAUNCH DEVOTEE PLEASE

 STANZA 4

MANY GREAT SAINTS, LIKE NAARADA,

WITH NO ONE KNOWING WHERE THEY ARE,

ROAM ON THE EARTH, FULLY IMMERSED

IN THE JOY OF YOUR PRESENCE IN THEIR MINDS

STANZA 5

LET DEVOTTION TO YOU SWELL IN MY HEART,

I HAVE NOT THE LEAST DOUBT,

IT WILL WIPE OUT ALL MY SUFFERINGS COMPLETELY,

IF IT DOES'NT, VYAASA'S WORDS,

AND YOUR OWN ASSURANCES WOULD BE SENSELESS,

LIKE GOSSIP OF THE STREETS, MY LORD

STANZA 6

DEVOTION TO YOU, IN THE BEGINNING SWEET,

THEN AS IT GROWS,

COMPLETELY REMOVES ALL ONE’S TROUBLES,

AND AT THE END, GIVES THE JOY

OF THE KNOWLEGE OF THE TRUTH OF EXISTENCE

STANZA 7

PLEASE REMOVING MY SUFFERINGS, MAKE MY LEGS ABLE

TO ENJOY THE WALK TO YOUR TEMPLE,

MY EYES IN LOOKING AT YOUR IDOL,

NOSE IN SMELLING THE TULSI OFFERED AT YOUR FEET,

AND EARS IN HEARING YOUR BEAUTIFUL STORIES

STANZA 8

MAY YOUR FORM,

WHICH IS THE ESSENCE OF THE BLISSFUL CONSCIOUSNESS, THE BRAHMAN,

RISE IN MY MIND,

WHICH IS AFFLICTED BY SEVERAL INCURABLE ILLNESSES, SO THAT,

WITH HAIR HIGH ON END, AND WITH TEARS POURING FROM MY EYES,

I FORGET ALL MY GREAT SUFFERINGS, MY LORD

STANZA 9

THOSE WHO DONT WORSHIP YOU LIVE HAPPILY,

WHILE I SUFFER SO MUCH WHAT'S THIS!

LET IT NOT GIVE YOU BAD NAME, MY LORD,

CURE ME QUICKLY OF MY DISEASE,

AND MAKE ME THE GREATEST OF ALL YOUR DEVOTEES, PLEASE

STANZA 10

WHAT IS THE USE OF TALKING MORE AND MORE?

I WILL LIE AT YOUR FEET - IMAGINED TO BE IN FRONT OF ME,

COMPLAINING CONTINUOUSLY, PROSTRATING AND CHANTING HYMNS

TILL YOUR PITY RISES, MY LORD

DASAKOM 6

STANZA 1

WHEN YOU ASSUMED THE WONDERFUL FORM OF FOURTEEN WORLDS,

EYELASHES BECAME DAY AND NIGHT,

AND THE EYES BECAME THE SUN

YOUR SIDE GLANCE IS THE ACT OF CREATION,

EARS BECAME THE CORNERS OF THE EARTH,

NOSE THE ASHWIN TWINS,

THE LOWER AND UPPER LIPS BECAME GREED AND SHAME,

THE TEETH BECAME STARS,

AND THE SIDETOOTH DEATH

STANZA 6

YOUR PLAYFUL SMILE BECAME MAAYA,

BREATH BECAME AIR,

THE TONGUE WATER, AND WORDS THE BIRDS,

YOUR TUNEFUL SONG BECAME SIDHHAS,

THE MOUTH THE FIRE,

DEVAS HANDS,

BREASTS THE GOD OF DUTY

STANZA 7

YOUR BACK IS ADHARMA, MIND THE MOON,

THE UNMANIFEST IS HEART,

STOMACH THE SEAS,

CLOTHES THE TWILIGHT TIMES,

THE PENIS THE CREATOR,

THE TESTICLES MITHRA

STANZA 8

THE BUTTOCKS ARE ANIMALS,

THE TOENAILS ARE ELEPHANTS, CAMELS, AND HORSES,

YOUR WALK IS TIME,

AND FACE ARMS, THIGHS AND FEET

ARE BRAHMINS

AND OTHER CASTES, IN THAT ORDER

STANZA 9

YOUR ACTVITITY IS THE CYCLE OF LIFE AND DEATH,

VALOUR IS THE ASURAS,

BONES ARE THE MOUNTAINS,

AND BLOODVESSELS ARE THE RIVERS

WONDERFUL IS YOUR BODY, MY LORD

STANZA 10

IT IS SAID THAT THIS UNIVERSAL FORM OF YOURS

SHOULD BE RECALLED BY ALL PEOPLE AT THE END OF THEIR ACTIVITIES

I PRAY TO YOU WHO IS INSIDE THAT FORM,

AND IS THE POWER THAT IMPELS IT,

PLEASE CURE MY ILLNESS, PLEASE

DASAKOM 7

STANZA 1

AFTER THIS BIRTH OF BRAHMA IN THE FORM OF THE FOURTEEN WORLDS,

YOU WERE YOURSELF AGAIN BORN IN ANOTHER WORLD,

ABOVE ALL THESE WORLDS,

IN THE FORM OF BRAHMA,

AND HIM THEY CALL HIRANYAGARBHA, (HE WHO HAS GOLD, IMPLYING WEALTH, INSIDE),

WHO CONTAINED ALL LIVING BEINGS IN HIMSELF

STANZA 2

HE TOO SET HIS MIND ON CREATING ALL THINGS,

BUT NOT KNOWING HOW TO DO IT,

STOOD THINKING FOR SOME TIME,

WHEN HE HEARD A DISEMBODIED VOICE FROM HIGH,

“DO PENANCE, DO PENANCE”

STANZA 3

AND LOOKING AROUND AND NOT FINDING NONE ANYWHERE,

STOOD THINKING LONG,

AND LATER UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORT OF WHAT HE HEARD,

WORSHIPPED YOU PERFORMING THAPAS FOR CRORES OF YEARS,

AND THEN YOU SHOWED HIM YOUR WONDERFUL WORLD

STANZA 4

WHERE MAAYA DOES NOT DECEIVE,

WHICH IS BEYOND THE KNOWN WORLD,

AND THERE ARE NO NEGATIVE FEELINGS,

LIKE SORROW, ANGER, CONFUSION, AND FEAR,

THE WORLD YOU SHOWED BRAHMA, THE VAIKUNTHHAM,

WHERE FLOWS ALWAYS INTENSE JOY,

IN THE FORM OF DAZZLING LIGHT

STANZA 5

HAIL THAT WORLD OF YOURS, VAIKUNTHHAM

WHERE THOSE WHO CAME, BY THEIR GOOD DEEDS,

LIVE HAPPILY,

ADORNED WITH BEAUTIFUL ORNAMENTS,

IN THE COMPANY OF OTHERS,

WHO TOO CAME IN A SIMILAR WAY

STANZA 6

PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR WORLD,

WHERE LIVES GODDESS LAKSHMI HERSELF, OF UNSPEAKABLE PROSPERITY,

IN THE COMPANY OF OTHER GODDESS-LIKE GIRLS,

AND WHO BRIGHTENED, LIKE LIGHTNING,

WITH HER HANDSOME SLIM BODY ALL AROUND,

REVELLING IN THE PERFUME YOU WEAR

STANZA 7

THERE IN THAT WORLD OF YOURS, HE SAW YOU,

SEATED ON A THRONE BEDECKED WITH GEMS,

WEARING CROWN, BANGLES AND OTHER ORNAMENTS,

WITH CHEST MARKED BY SHREEVATSAM,

AND REDDENED BY THE KOUSTHUBHA GEM

STANZA 8

MAY THE FORM SHOWN HIM BY YOU,

WHO SPREAD ALL AROUND,

THE COLOURS OF YOUR WHEEL, BLACK LIKE RAINCLOUD AND CLOVEFLOWER,

SMILING LOVINGLY, CARRYING CONCH, GADA, WHEEL AND LOTUS, IN YOUR HANDS,

PROTECT ME FROM MY ILLNESS, MY LORD

STANZA 9

I WORSHIP YOU TO WHOM BRAHMA,

OVERWHELMED BY JOY, PROSTRATING,

IN GREAT EXCITEMENT, SAID, “MASTER, YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT

PLEASE GIVE ME THE ABILITY TO KNOW BOTH YOUR FORMS,

THE UNIVERSAL AS WELL AS THE INDIVIDUAL“

STANZA 10

YOU HELD WITH YOUR HAND HIS HAND AND TELLING HIM,

“THAT KNOWLEDGE YOU WILL HAVE,

AND YOU WILL NOT BE AFFECTED BY ANY ADVERSE SIDE-EFFECTS"

ENTERED HIS MIND,

AND MADE HIM CREATE THE WORLD, MY LORD

DASAKOM 8

STANZA 1

AT THE END OF THE GREAT FLOOD,

FIRST, BRAHMA WAS BORN,

AND LEARNING VEDAS FROM YOU, STARTED

CREATING IN THE SAME WAY AS LAST TIME

STANZA 2

HE LIVED THROUGH FOUR THOUSAND AEONS,

OF DAYS AND NIGHTS, EACH,

NOW HE, MERGED IN YOU,

SLEEPS,

AND THIS IS KNOWN AS NAIMITHHIKAPRALAYAM, MY LORD

STANZA 3

HE DOES CREATION EVERYDAY,

AS WE DO OUR MORNING RITUALS, REGULARLY,

FOR THE IMMORTALS,

WHO WERE BORN IN THE PREVIOUS AEON

CREATION WAS LIKE WAKING UP AFTER SLEEP

STANZA 4

HE IS NOW IN HIS FIFTIETH YEAR,

HAVING LIVED HALF HIS LIFE,

AND WE SHALL TELL WHAT HE DID ON THE LAST NIGHT,

AND NARRATE YOUR ACTIVITIES OF THE NEXT DAY

STANZA 5

AT THE END OF THE DAY, BRAHMA, BECAUSE

HE WANTED TO SLEEP, GOT MERGED IN YOU,

ALL THE WORLDS ENTERED YOUR BODY,

AND THE WHOLE WORLD BECAME

ONE WIDE SEA

STANZA 6

IN THAT OCEAN, WHICH COVERED THE WORLD,

YOU SLEPT ON ANANTHA,

WHO IS YOU YOURSEF IN ANOTHER FORM,

MIND SEALED IN A YOGIC TRANCE,

AND CONSCIOUS OF ONLY AN INTENSE JOY

STANZA 7

ORDERING THE POWER THAT IMPELS TIME

TO WAKE YOU, AT THE END OF THE FLOOD,

YOU WENT TO SLEEP,

WITH ALL LIVING BEINGS,

IN WHOM THEIR WORKING HAD BEEN SUSPENDED FOR SOME TIME

STANZA 8

WHEN YOU HAD SLEPT

FOR FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND AEONS, ALONE LIKE THIS,

THAT POWER BEHIND TIME,

WAKING FIRST, WOKE YOU UP, MY LORD

STANZA 9

WHEN YOU WOKE, AND LYING IN WATER,

SAW ALL THINGS DISSOLVED IN IT,

YOU CAST A LOOK AT THEM,

WHICH WERE IN YOU IN THEIR ELEMENTAL STAGE

STANZA 10

THEN FROM YOUR NAVEL, ROSE A DIVINE LOTUS PLANT,

WHOSE BUD APPEARED AS A CONDENSED FORM

OF ALL MATTER WHICH

TOGETHER COMPRISES THE WORLD

STANZA 11

THIS LOTUS PLANT

RISING FROM YOUR BODY THROUGH THE WATER,

SHED A GLORIOUS GLOW,

BREAKING THE DARKNESS, ENVELOPING IT

STANZA 12

IN THAT WONDERFULLY STRANGE

LOTUS PLANT, APPEARED BRAHMA,

ALONG WITH VEDAS,

WHICH WOKE ON THEIR OWN

STANZA 13

MAY YOU, POWERFUL BEYOND LIMIT,

WHO WOKE BRAHMA THUS

IN THE LAST AEON, MY LORD,

SAVE ME FROM MY ILLNESS, PLEASE

DASAKOM 9

STANZA 1

BRAHMA, SEATED IN YOUR NAVEL, AS IN A LOTUS,

NOT SEEING FROM WHERE THE VOICE CAME,

TURNED HIS HEAD IN FOUR DIRECTIONS,

AND THUS BECAME A FOURHEADED GOD

STANZA 2

SEEING IN THE LARGE OCEAN, ONLY THE LOTUS,

BUT NOT ITS SUPPORT,

HE BECAME BEWILDERED, AND WONDERED,

“FROM WHERE CAME I, FROM WHERE CAME THIS LOTUS HERE!

STANZA 3

THINKING THAT THERE SHOULD BE A REASON FOR THIS,

HE, FROM WHOM ALL WISDOM CAME,

SLID DOWN THE HOLE IN ITS STALK,

AND SEARCHED, WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS

STANZA 4

NOT SEEING YOU,

AFTER SEARCHING EVERY NOOK AND CORNER OF THE STALK,

HE RETURNED UP THE STALK,

AND SITTING IN A COMFORTABLE POSTURE,

MEDITATED, PRAYING FOR YOUR BLESSING, MY LORD

STANZA 5

ENLIGHTENED BY HUNDREDS OF YEARS OF INTENSE CONCENTRATION,

HE SAW YOUR WONDERFUL BODY,

NOT SEEN TILL NOW,

LYING ON THE SERPENT, ANANTHA, AND MY LORD

STANZA 6

I CAN SEE IN MY MIND YOUR BODY, SHOWN TO BRAHMA,

HANDSOME LIKE THICK BLACK CLOUDS AND CLOVE BLOOMS,

ADORNED WITH WAISTBAND,

GLISTENING IN THE RAYS

OF THE GEMS OF THE CROWN, BANGLES, GARLANDS, AND OTHER ORNAMENTS

STANZA 7

YOU, WHOSE GREATNESS WAS PRAISED BY BRAHMA, THUS

YOU WHO IS KNOWN ONLY BY READING IN SCRIPTURES,

HAVE COME INTO MY VIEW BY MY LUCK

MASTER, GIVE ME THE SKILL TO CREATE THE WORLD

MY LORD PLEASE PROTECT ME, MY LORD

STANZA 8

YOU MADE HIM VERY HAPPY, TELLING,

“YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CREATE ALL THE THREE WORLDS,

AND WILL NOT INCUR ANY SIN BY THAT YOU WILL HAVE MY BLESSING,

PERFORM MORE TAPAS FOR SOME MORE TIME

AND YOUR INTENSE DEVOTION TO ME WILL GIVE YOU ALL THAT YOU WANT”

STANZA 9

AFTER ANOTHER HUNDRED THOUSAND YEARS OF INCREASED SEVERITY,

AND THUS INCREASED BRAIN POWER,

HE, MADE STRONG BY YOU,

DRANK ALL THE AIR AND THE WATER,

WHEN HE SAW THE LOTUS VIOLENTLY SHAKING IN THE SEA

STANZA 10

AGAIN BY YOUR GRACE,

HE CONSTRUCTED ALL THE THREE WORLDS

WITH THAT LOTUS, AND STARTED TO CREATE ALL EXISTING THINGS

LORD OF GURUVAYOOR, SO KIND TO ALL YOUR DEVOTEES,

PROTECT ME FROM MY DISEASE, PLEASE
