My Lord, -bestower of heaven and all else, -swallowed the Earth and sky. He is beyond comprehension. He is my Krishna, dear as my eyes, Other than him, there is no doer. This is certain.

The great lion of the cowherd clan, he ended the woes of Siva who came pleading, Who else can rid the misery of the seven worlds, and protect them too? Alas, must I answer this?

The bull-rider Siva, the lotus-born Brahma and the lotus-dame, Lakshmi reside on his person inseparably. The gods worship him, Rising over the sky, he took the Earth and all. an there be a god greater than him?

thEvum epporuLum padaikka *

pUvum pUsanaiyum thagumE? 4

My Lord created Brahma on his lotus navel, who in turn created the gods and beings of the worlds. Other than my Krishna, is there any Lord worthy of worship with flowers?

migum thEvum * epporuLum padaikka **
thagum kOlath * thAmaraikkaNNan emmAn *

My Lord of befitting wealth and lotus eyes by his own cause did create the exalted gods and all things and beings. Who can praise a Lord of greater glory?

yavarum yAvaiyum * ellAp poruLum *
kavarvinRith * thannuL odungka ninRa **
pavarkoL njAna * veLLach sudarmUrththi *
avar emmAzhi * ampaLLiyArE 6

All things, all beings and all the worlds, -he contains them within him easily. He is an icon of eternal effulgence reclining in the ocean, He alone in my Lord!

paLLiyAlilai * Ezhulagum koLLum *
vaLLal * valvayitRup perumAn **
uLLuLAr aRivAr? * avan than *

My Lord has a great strong belly. He ate the seven worlds and slept on a fig leaf. We can understand the mysteries of his dark unfathomable will?

varuththiththa * mAyappirAnai anRi ** ArE
thiruththith * thiNNilai mUvulagum * thammuL

By his will, he made the gods and all things, He contains the three worlds and protects them, and lends them his permanence. Who but our wonder-Lord can do this?

kAkkum iyalvinan * kaNNaperumAn *
sErkkai seydhu * than undhiyuLLE **
vAyththa thisaimugan * indhiran vAnavar *
AkkinAn * theyva ulagugaLE 9

He mingled and merged himself into the Universe. He made Brahma the creator on his lotus-navel. He made Indra and the gods, and all the worlds. He is Kirshna, our Lord, protector of all.

Even the bull-rider Siva, the four-faced Brahma, Indra and all the gods look up to the bird-riding Lord. Worship his feet, and call "Prankster Lord! You made the seven worlds and all of us appear in you!"

* Eththa Ezhulagum koNda * kOlak

This decad of the thousand songs, In praise of the dancer Lord who took the Earth, appears in the words of Kurugur Satakpan, Those who recite it with devotion shall have no want.
