Oh Paaduka,

You serve for Ranganatha's sport,

You serve as the chains binding the elephants which my sense organs are;

You function as the bolt-rod for the door of the hell-we would not get

in there!

You also remain as the ladder for us to ascend to the Perennial Abode,

Vaikunta.

 

Namo Narayana,

 

Adiyen,
