The Lord is easy to reach by devote through love. His feet are hard to get for others, even Lotus-dame Lakshmi Oh, how easily he was caught and bound to the mortar, pleading, for stealing butter from the milkmaid's churning pail.

Who can comprehend the wonders of Narayana? He bears the highest good of Vedic sacrifice. Forever the creates, destroys, and plays between the two. He contains the gods, and the livin and the lifeless.

Siva who burnt the three cities occupies the Lord's right. Brhama who made the seven spheres resides on his navel. Yet he is here within the Universe for all to see. Such are his wonders, the thoughts that fill my heart.
