When will I be seeing you, holding your auspicious pair of feet with my

hands, keeping them on my head and chest and embracing them and smell the

fragrant smell of lotus in it and experience the ecstasy which is difficult

to obtain even for Brahma and other God.

Parameswara alone has the ability to give mOkshasaamraajyam. There is no

greater bhakthi than doing his aaraadhana. Even though he is anantham, even

though he has no beginning or end, even though he is all pervading, even

though he chidaanandan, even though he achinthyan, even though he is beyond

the three states of jaagrat, swapnam and sushupthi, yet just as water

becomes ice in extreme cold, he appears as saguna Brahman, as Gowri SamEdhan

due to his kindness to the devoted jeevaraasis. Hey! Parameswara! When am I

going to see you as Vrishabhaaroodan with my human eyes?

 

Hey! Jagat Rakshaka! Your lotus feet remains the mokshaayathanam to the

pious devotees, your lotus feet did dwamsam of kaala and saved MaarkandEya,

your lotus feet created the Sudharsana Chakra of great mahima, in your lotus

feet did Mahaavishnu submit his pundareekaaksham, at your lotus feet crores

of devas, rishis, vasus, pannakaas, kinnaras, asuras, brahmanishtaas,

urakaas, siddhaas and others surrendered all the time, your lotus feet was

untraceable to Mahaavishnu when you stood as a column of fire before him,

that lotus feet, O! MahEswara! when would I be able to see with my human

eyes? Without attaining your feet my life is wasting away.

 

Hey! SaraNaagathavathsalaa! I am unable to hold on to your two lotus feet of

great mahima - thavabhavyaangriyugalam - and to keep them on my head and on

my eyes, and hug them to me on my chest and smell the lotus! What will I do?

Whom do I tell? Hey! KaruNaanidhE! please, please protect me!

 

The Veda says: " Ethasyaivaanandhasya anyaani bhoothaani

maathraamupajeevanthi " . There is no aanandha beyond this sivaananda. When am

I going to experience this aananda in my heart? I am unable to withstand my

inability to reach your lotus feet. This thaapam is killing me! I have

become an undescribable asakthan. If only you would show your mercy on me

would there be anything that is beyond my reach?
