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
