Through chanting "Kesava, My Lord and master, Lord of celestials, My lotus-eyed Krishna, My black-gem Lord, Narayana!"my kin through seven generators before and after me, have become devotees; Lo, what a wonder, what fulfillment!

'Narayana' is the master of all the worlds, extolled by the Vedas, He is the cause, effect and the act of all, my master, He is worshipped by Lakshmi and all the celestials. He is Madhava my Lord, who broke the tusk of the elephant.

For merely saying, "Madhava", he entered into me, saying, "Henceforth and forever, I shall stay and protect you" My lotus-eyed mountain-hued ambrosia, my perfect sugar candy, my master, my Govinda is the destroyer of our endless Karmas.

For dancing, singing 'Govinda' Gopala and many such names, he made me pure and took me into his service. My clever Lord Vishnu rid me of my past misdeeds. Then he made me love him now and through seven lives.

My Lord 'Vishnu' wears a radiant crown. My Madhu-foe has red lotus feet, radiant hands and eyes. His frame is dark and radiant like a beautiful mountain. His conch and discus bear the radiance of the Moon and Sun".

I said, 'Madhusudana' is my sole refuge, then ceased acting, and only worshipped him through song and dance. Through many lives in every age he came before me and showered his grace. This hsa been blessing, through Trivikrama, my master.

Chanting 'Trivikrama' and other names, I thought of my Lord with red lotus eyes, coral lips, and bright crystal-hue. O Lord who came as a manikin, through courtless ages you made my heart serve you and worship your lotus feet.

Singing, 'Vamana', 'O My gem-hued Lord of lotus eyes, O Father of Kama" and many such names I worshipped you. You made my heart pure, and rid me of my birth pains. O My Sridhara, what can I do for you?

I chanted 'Sridhara', 'My lotus-eyed Lord" and many other names night and day, prating madly, depressed, with tears in my eyes and breathing holly, You rid me of my store of karmas, and gave me yourself. Then you planted yourself in my heart for all times. My Hrishikesava!

Have good sense, O Heart! Learn and worship him well, chant Hishikesa, "My Lord who burnt the demon's Lanka, "O My Lord and Master, Lord of celestials, Padmanabha" and such. Not even through oversight must you stop chanting.

"Padmanabha' is the mighty one, higher than the highest. He is my kalpa tree, he made me his and himself mine. He is my ambrosia, dark as the rain cloud, in Venkatam. My Lord Damodara is the Lord of high celestials too.

Can even those who worship "Damodara", know his greatness? He is the first-cause, and the swallower of the Universe. Can even Brahma or Siva peforming steady contemplation fathom his greatness, when they are but a part of him?

This bouquet of songs bearing the twelve names of the Lord, from the thousand songs by kurugur Satakopan is for Krishna, gem-hued Lord of celestials. those who can sing it will attain the Lord's feet.
