Purport

In the cool hills, with peaks sky high, You stay;
dAmOdharA! All people live as You show the way!
I have affixed on my body & soul Your chakra sign
and wait for Your grace! what else is Your design?

Purport

O great purushA, You ride on garudA! the sea
of samsArA has parched once You took over me!
Forest of 'my deadly sins' is burnt, and the pure
wisdom, like nectar, flows into my head & soar!

Purport

My Ruler! my family God! my Lord! the grace I got
from You, who else can get? Like one who's caught
in devil's choking grip, world's sins would not stay;
but run gasping for breath & hide in bushes faraway!

Purport

Like churning ocean to fill jar with nectar, I drank;
You to the full, even as my body melted and sank!
The terrible yamA dare not enter my kingdom now;
O warrior with big arms holding discus & sArngA bow!

Purport

Just like rubbing gold on a touchstone to test
I have used my tongue to abuse You at best;
Now I have taken You in me & Your feet is my goal;
my Lord, ruler of my senses, saviour of my soul!

Purport

Like painting on a wall, all Your valiant acts
got etched on my heart! O, You once wielded the axe;
as great parasurAmA to vanquish all arrogant kings!
Staying within me, where can You spread Your wings?

Purport

Just as pAndiya king stuck a flag with fish sign
on mEru hill, Your lotus feet was on the head of mine;
You broke the tusker & trounced wrestlers in scores;
my tongue ever says Your names; O Lord, I am Yours!

Purport

Showing ananthA and garudA less love, You came;
and sat in my heart and made me live with fame!
O Lord holding discuss! I cry thinking of Your grace;
and all my troubles are now gone without a trace!

Purport

Leaving aside the cool milky ocean thirupArkadal, You ran
into the sea of my heart & chose to live there with a plan!
You forsook unmatchable thirupArkadal, Sun-the lustrous place;
and vaikuntam, only to take me as Your servant with Your grace!

Purport

Just as a pristine flag on a hill top is clearly seen;
You reside in the lotus of my heart with a sheen!
You shunned milky ocean,srivaikuntam & dwarka-the fort city;
only to come into my heart and sit pretty!

Purport

In the heart of periAzhwAr of vEyar clan pride;
the cool-dense-cloud-hued gOpAlA chose to reside;
To cowherds & celestials He's chief; to sages He's sweet;
whoever can sing these shall, like shadow, be at His feet!
