Oh Ranganatha-Paaduka!people toiling in torn-off garments in

dire pennilessness, reminiscent of Kuchela, have only to think of

You once;they secure the fortunate seat on the back of mammoth

elephants, whose ichorous flow on their cheeks attracts crowds of bees

to hover around.

 

Namo Narayana,

 

Adiyen,
