"I see before me a bluish radiance as captivating as blue lilies; I am bathed in nectar.

"O omnipresent Lord, have mercy to cast on me your attractive eyes with the eyebrows that are like gentle waves on the ocean of infinite compassion, which are more beautiful because of the shining eye-lashes which are shaped like rose-petals and have very beautiful pupils which cool the world with their merciful glance"

May Your face shining with the prominent , beautiful nose, the fishshaped earrings that adorn the ears and which dangle on the cheeks and which is more charming because of the gentle loving smile on lips which have the deep red shade of the bimba fruit and which reveal the shining rows of teeth, always shine in my mind!"

"with Your two hands that have turned multi-colored with palms that are red because of contact between the rays from the nails and fingers, wearing jewelled bangles, with the flute in your fingers emitting melodious notes that cool the world, and which is Brahman in the form of sound, may those notes soak my ear!"

dhyaayamo deeptarashmi sphuta mani rashanaa kinkini manditam twam"

 

We meditate on Thee who attracts the world by the fragrance of the oils with five ingredients applied on Thy body, whose waist is slender and creeper-like inspite of holding all the worlds within, who wears a yellow cloth which looks like gold poured on a rock of sapphire (i.e. the body is sapphire colored), and who is decorated with a girdle studded with brilliant gems and small tinkling bells"

"I meditate on Thy stout and beautiful thighs which steal the heart of even Goddess Lakshmi, which are always covered with the yellow cloth for fear of exciting the world, on Thy two knees which are like caskets in which are supreme gifts to be distributed to the devotees who prostrate before Thee and on thy forelegs , fleshy and tapering beautifully downward"

 

"manjeeram manjunadairiva padabhajanam shrey ityaalpantam

paadagram bhrantimajjatpranatajanmanomandaroddharakurmam

utatungaatamraraajannakharahimakarjyotsanaya chaashritanaam

santaapdhvaantahantrim tatimaanukalaye mangalaamanguleenaam"

 

I meditate on Thy anklets which appear to be saying in sweet tones that worship of Thy feet is most excellent; on the top of Thy foot which lifts up the minds of devotees sinking in the sea of delusion, just as in Thy incarnation as tortoise you lifted up the Mandara mountain; and on Thy auspicious row of toes, the upraised and slightly reddish nails, the brilliance of which is like

the light of the moon which removes the darkness of sorrow from the minds of devotees"

 

"yogindraanaam thvadangeshvadhikasumadhuram mukthi bhajaam nivaasobhakthaanaam kaamavarshadyutharukisalayam naatha they paadamulamnithyam chithasthithamme Pavanapurapathey Krishnaa kaarunya sindhOhruthvaa nishsheshathApAn pradishathu paramaananda sandOha lakshmeem!"

Guruvayoorappa, O ocean of compassion, Krishna, of your parts, your feet that is very sweet to the yogis, that is the abode of those who have attained mOksha, that is like the divine wish yielding tree that grants all the wishes of your devotees, should always rest in my mind and should dispel all sufferings and grant the greatest wealth/Supreme bliss and joy of mOksha.

 

"Angnyaantwaa te matwam yadiha nigaditam vishwanatham shametha

strtram chaitatsahasstrotaramadhikataram twaprasaadaaya bhuyaat.

dvedha narayaneeyam shrutishu cha janusha stutyataavarnanena

spheetam leelaavataarairidamiha kurutaam ayur-arogya-soukhyam"

 

O Vishwanaathaa! please have mercy and forgive me for what I have said here without knowing Thy greatness. May this hym of a 1000 verses secure for all the fullness of Thy grace! This hym can be named Naraayaneeyam for two reasons: written by Narayana and subject matter is also Naaraayana! May this hym which is full of Thy sportive incarnations which are described in the Vedas as worthy of praise, confer long life, sound health, and happiness on every one in this world!

 

Om Namo Narayana!
