Hapless me I saw the Lord of celestials, cause of the seven worlds, and faintly called, "O Rogue who ate butter by stealth", Then, "O strong herdsman who killed seven bulls for winning Nappinnai's Jasmine smile, O My lord".

O My wonder Lord! You are the will and the seed of all creation, undiminishing, known to the heart alone! Sages and celestials faint in your contemplation. They offer worship with water, Sandal, incense, and flowers and count your glories with melting hearts, but never come to an end.

You created the sages and the celestials, even the four-faced Brahma, and gave him the power the make the wombs of all creation. Lord who stepped over all creation and measured the Universe, you are compassionate to all, like a mother to all beings!

The Lord of celestials, Lord of Vaikunta, my own Lord, himself became the cause of the three. –Brahma, Siva, Indra, -within him. He caused the celestials, and sages and the living, and all else to be, then appeared in the deep ocean sleeping on a serpent couch.

O Madava, Lord bearing the fawn-eyed dame Lakshmi O Govinda, who straightened the bow-like bends of Trivakra's body! O Madhusudana, gem-hued Lor of effulgent celestials light, hear me! Grant that this hapless self attain your nectar lotus-feet!

O Madava, Lord who entered the cowherd-fold and became their chief! O Kesava, Lord of celestials, you are the medicine and cure for my despair! O Sridhara, you shot an arrow piercing seven dense trees! O Lord of many great acts and many names, I call and swoon calling you!

My Lord, Tirumal, wearing the fragrant Tulasi garland! My Krishna, you release devotees from weed-like mortal bondage.Alas! when even great minds fall to understand him, I, of lowly intellect, weep to see him; can there be a greater folly than this?

O Lord who swallowed the seven worlds, and brought them out again! What a wonder, that you took birth as child Krishna, and ate butter by stealth, leaving not a trace behind! Was it expellant medicine for a little earth that had remained inside you?

The peerless Lord of celestials, our Lord and protector is the spouse of Sri; a beautiful great form compassionate like a mother to all creation; with the innocence of a child he sucked the poisoned breast of the fierce ogrees putana, and drank her life to the bones.

The Vaikunta-Lord of effulge knowledge, beyond size and shope and situation, pervades all things and beings, as the indwelling spirit of all. Driving out my twin karmas, he cut as under my Maya-bonds, then made me set my heart on him, faithfully.

This decad of the thousand songs of kurugur satakopan, praised by musicians, devotees and poets, a like fondly addresses the Lord of wonders, full of grace. Those who sing it will never suffer on earth.
