In the blessed Ayadhya, the land created by Brahma, -down to the meanest gross and insect without exception, he gives on exalted place to all the sentient and the insentient, so would any scholar study about a king other than Rama?

For the sake of humanity, Narayana took birth and walked on Earth, suffering countless miseries, then destroyed the plague of Rakshasas. He gave the kingdom to Vibhisana, and liberation to all knowing this, would mortals be devotees to anyone else?

Sisupala the arch-enemy of Krishna would utter lowly words of abuse, such as would blister the ears, yet he attained the Lord's feet. Knowing those who know this well, would anyone listen to any but Kesava's praise?

In the hoary past when none of this existed, he made the waters, then the four-faced Brahma, then hid all these within himself, Contemplating these wonders, will scientists ponder on anything else?

The Lord then came us a beautiful boar, and in a trice lifted the Earth, -submerged in deep deluge waters, -on his tusk teeth, knowing this, would seekers seek any thing other than his feel?

Afflicted by the generous king Bali, the gods in hordes petitioned to the Lord, who then came as an alms-begging manikin, knowing these wondrous deeds, how will anyone not be a devotee of Kesava?

The fragrant garland-deck Markandeya prayed for life. The mark-haired Siva took him in and showed himself as example. The Lord then took him unto himself. Contemplating this, will anyone seek a god other than Krishna?

The Asura king Hiranya with the power of his penance afflicted the gods. The Lord then came as a man-lion and showed his wonder. Knowing this, will knowers learn any other than the Lord's names?

The Lord drove a chariot, destroying the hundred who cheated in dice, securing victory for the good five, in a battle that the world spoke about, knowing this, will anyone seek and but the Lord?

He removes and destroys by the root the great miseries of Maya-birth, sickness, old age and death, then takes us all unto his good feet. Knowing this, will anyone with wisdom be a devotee of the Lord?

The decad of the lucid the thousand by kurugur Satokapon on Krishna –who gives joy to those who stand and worship him, -will bequeath clear thought to those who master it
