“I, servant of the Lord, have found out the Lord—who is the (spiritual) wealth; who is like a coral pillar (for bearing and protecting); who is the shelter for the pure devotees; who killed Kaṁsa and protected the world; who always thinks about His devotees; who is the divinity that has entered my heart and is to be praised and worshipped—and will never leave Him.”

“O my heart! Eulogise the auspicious qualities of the Lord—who is the five elements – air, water, fire, etc.; the young bull who devastated Laṅkā protected by ramparts; who resides in Tiruppiridi on the Himālayas; who is like a pile of elegant gemstones; who is the flood of bliss; who is ambrosia; and the nemesis who took away the dear life of Hiraṇyakaśipu—O how wonderfully You are eulogising!”

“I bow down to the majestic and benevolent Supreme Lord who churned the vast Milk Ocean with the huge Mandara Mountain and gave the ambrosia to the demigods; My Lord; and who eternally resides in Tirumāliruñjōlai shaded from the sun by groves of very tall bamboo thickets.”

“(O my Lord!) I wish to ask You something: When I saw in my dream (You), the flower petals-like soft Lord, who as a boar incarnation lifted the earth on His tusk, I embraced (You) very lovingly with my mind, word, and body; what a great bliss it was! Why so?”

“Like a red-hot iron imbibes a lot of water (to cool down), I served the Lord with great love and was elevated; I kept that rain cloud-hued Lord, who comes (to the devotee’s place), in my heart and relished Him like sugarcane juice; what a great sweetness it was! Why so?”

“How the devotees, who want to glorify (the Lord) will glorify the Supreme Lord who is the first among the Trinity; who begged land (and then secured the planetary systems) from Bali; who resides eternally in Kumbakōṇam; who is like a heap of blue sapphire gemstones; who is sweet like transcendental songs; who is sweet to the tongue like fresh honey; who is desirable like pure gold; and who is a flower adorned on their heads by the nitya-muktas?”

“Those devotees who meditate on the auspicious qualities of the Lord who provides us material happiness in this world and spiritual bliss in Vaikuṇṭha; who resides eternally in incredible Śrīraṅgam; who appears in red or black hue in different yugas; and who is in standing position in Tirumalai and blesses both the earthly and heavenly beings will be carried on my head.”

“Alas, how the precious human life is wasted! They don’t bother to take shelter of the Lord who is rain-cloud-hued, who is very sweet like the juice of the sugarcane which grew up in the honey collected by bees in the mountain and is very benevolent to the devotees; instead, they desire to lead a materialistic way of life for a long time in the body composed of flesh and blood; please understand this.”

“My mind doesn’t get fixed on good things; alas, my heart burns like an ant caught in a fire! O effulgent Lord! You are the purest and is the Ultimate Personality of Godhead; in any situation, You are our only shelter.”

“O Lord! My heart doesn’t remain steady; what can I, this sinful person, do? Please grant me simple devotion; O pearl-like one! O effulgent green emerald-like one! O stormy rain-cloud-hued! My master! I don’t know anything other than devotional service to You.”

“My Lord! How is it possible to get rid of my worries by preaching about and engaging in devotional service to You and by bowing down to Your Lotus feet without Your mercy? I worship You, the effulgent light, the Lord of all in the universe, the cause of the demigods in all the eight directions, and rightful wealth!”

“I, with the spit-defiled mouth of this dirty body which is impure and engaged in service in lowly places, chanted Your holy names; I was afraid that I have committed a grave offense, but the blue lotus-hued Lord appeared within my eyes and mercifully told, ‘Fear not.’”

“Please know that even the water imbibed by hot iron can be brought out (with the mercy of the Lord) like my incurable sins and diseases have left me; how my eyes keep looking at and enjoying the beauty of the sugarcane-like sweet Lord who resides in the majestic Śrīraṅgam surrounded by groves swarmed by bumblebees!”

“I became a gross sinner by repeatedly sinning always thinking about and engaging in sexual union with women whose eyes were more beautiful than the dark blue lotus; I, the sinner, became more sinful by not remembering the Lord of Kumbakōṇam surrounded by water-rich lakes where swans like to live.”

“Hanumān burnt the fortified city of Laṅkā of the evil Rāvaṇa and came back to Kishkindha happily and worshipped the lotus feet of Rāma (describing the events); I will bathe that Lord with the water of love flowing from my heart and the melting bones.”

“My Lord killed the magical deer; He crawled in between the twin arjuna trees and brought them down; He measured the planetary systems; He churned the vast ocean of Milk with Mandara Mountain as the churning rod and gave the ambrosia to the demigods; I will decorate that incredible Lord with the pure and majestic garland of my words.”

“Those who sang the glories of the Lord in Tiruppēr were delivered is a fact known from the scriptures; but am I, this ignoramus, qualified to glorify Him? Those (like Śiśupāla) who abused the Lord and His glories attained liberation, but I will not engage in abusing Him; however, my desire to get delivered from the cycle of birth and death and attain the ocean-hued Lord is strong, what to do?”

“If a yogi wants to see the Lord in His effulgent form, by ceasing his actions/conditions which lead to miseries; sitting (on an āsana) without moving, with half-closed eyes, and controlling the five senses, and unceasingly meditating as given in the scriptures, will he be able to see Him? (No, unless out of causeless mercy, the Lord shows Himself it’s not possible to see Him).[1]

“Only those devotees who glorify and worship the celebrated holy abodes—like Tirukkaṇḍiyūr, Tiruvaraṅgam, Tirumeyyam, Tirukkacci,  Tiruppēr, or Tirumallai of the Supreme Personality of Godhead who relieved the curse on the clean shaven-headed Rudra who survived by begging from house to house carrying a powdery skull (of Brahmā)—will be delivered; is there any chance of deliverance for others? (No).”

“Those who thoroughly learn and recite this garland of twenty pure Tamiḻ songs rendered by Tirumaṅgaiyāḻvār who wields a victorious spear—about the red lotus-like eyed Lord whose red lotus-like feet are worshipped with honey-rich flowers by Indra, the king of the celestial world and Brahma born on a lotus flower—will attain Vaikuṇṭha.”
