Kudos to Thee! settl'd on a cot ivory foot'd Soft silk cotton mattress with quality quintet In glimmering light of a metal lamp and Inclined on the bosom of Nappinnai Having flowerful locks bunch of blossoms bloom'd; Thy chest a flower bed, open Thy mouth this instant; Thy eye graced with Eye-liner black, a charm; Let whatsoev'r time, would't arouse thy groom; Nor howsoev'r endure a moment's separation this norm Is neither reality nor befitting, consider our

Milk-cows we would follow, reach the wood and eat, Amongst tribe pastoral, sans any intellect, Thou'rt born This the only virtue we own; our acquaintance is a bond; The intimacy hither, could never be torn; Oh! Govinda! Deficient in nothing! We girls ignorant and forlorn Addressed Thee in unbecoming names; Let Thou not hiss! Lo! Master! Bless us, we in ardour Bestow on us our desire, Listen and consider, our damsel.

our menial service depriv'd Lo! Govinda! This day not the drum alone is gotten! Forever seven and seven more births Related to Thy bond will we be near; Only unto Thee, we serve sincere Converse our passions to vanish; Listen and consider, our damsel.

 

 

 

 

 

30. Benefits of Tiruppavai recital and observance of the rituals.

 

Face a la gracious moon, the precious

jewell'd, Entreating thence had obtained the desire From Madhava Kesava who churned the ocean wavy; Whoever reminisces this legacy in thirty Tamil hymns In commune, hither, in this manner with out fail; A lyrical wreath of Godai -Her sire Bhattar Piran of Anipuduvai, decorated with fine lotus 'n' glory rown'd; Shall beget the blessings of wealthy

Tirumal Whose arm quadruplet, alike a mountain tall, Eye bright aglow, with face gracious on call, And shall remain delight'd, be wherev'r our damsel.
