DASAKOM 11

STANZA 1

AS THE CREATION WAS GRADUALLY PROCEEDING,

SANAKA AND OTHER SAINTS

CAME TO VAIKUNTHHAM,

TO SEE YOU, MY LORD

STANZA 2

THEY PASSED THROUGH MANY RAMPARTS,

AND REACHED YOUR ABODE,

ENJOYING THE SIGHT

OF MANY LAKES AND MANY MANSIONS, AS THEY WENT

STANZA 3

THE WATCHMEN, JAYA AND VIJAYA,

STOPPED THEM, AS THEY ENTERIED EAGERLY TO SEE YOU,

ANGER ROSE IN THEIR MINDS,

ALL BY YOUR WILL, MY LORD

STANZA 4

THEY CURSED THE WATCHMEN,

“YOU BEHAVED IN A MANNER NOT BEFITTING A PLACE LIKE VAIKUNTHHAM,

LET YOU BE ASURAS, AND REMAIN SO FOR A LONG TIME, “

AND WHEN THEY APOLOGISED, AND PRAYED,

“MAY WE REMEMBER GOD AT ALL TIMES, WHATEVER HAPPENS, MY LORD”

STANZA 5

KNOWING THIS YOU, ALONG WITH LAKSHMI, CAME OUT,

WITH YOUR HAND ON GARUDA'S SHOULDERS,

MAKING THEM ALL HAPPY,

WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL FORM

STANZA 6

PLEASING THE SAGES WITH YOUR WORDS,

YOU TOLD YOUR SERVANTS,

WHO HAVE NO SUPPORT,

OTHER THAN YOU LOVINGLY,

“CONFRONT ME DURING THREE BIRTHS,

THEN RESUME YOUR OLD PLACES, MY FRIENDS"

STANZA 7

THEN THESE YOUR SERVANTS WERE BORN AS THE TWIN SONS OF DITHI,

WIFE OF SAGE KASHYAPA,

AND BECAUSE THEY WERE DELIVERED IN THE TWILIGHT HOURS,

BECAME LIKE GOD OF DEATH,

THE DESTROYER OF THE WORLD

STANZA 8

THEY, NAMED KASHIPU AND AKSHA,

BOTH WITH THE SAME FORENAME, HIRANYA,

BORN BY NATURE, VIOLENT,

WENT ON ASSAULTING ALL THE WORLDS,

WHICH ARE UNDER YOUR PROTECTION

STANZA 9

HIRANYAAKSHA, NOT FINDING ANY FOE, HIS EQUAL,

RAN AROUND, CARRYING THE EARTH IN HIS HAND,

WITH GADA IN HAND,

LOOKING FOR SOME CHALLENGER

STANZA 10

THEN HEARING FROM VARUNA, LORD OF THE SEA,

THAT YOU ARE HIS EQUAL,

HE STARTED SEARCHING FOR YOU

ONLY YOUR DEVOTTES CAN SEE YOU

PLEASE PROTECT ME FROM DISEASES, MY LORD.
