I only thought I would serve the Lord Lo, my evil karmas disappeared instantly without a hitch! But come to think of it, other than serving his devotees, can there by a greater wealth in the three worlds?

The wealth of the three worlds and the enjoyment of one's self in heaven, put together, -will it equal the joy I have found here and now, through serving the selfless devotees of the cloud-hued Lord's lotus-feet?

Is it proper for me to join the lotus feet of the beautiful manikin with lotus eyes, -who extended his small frame and took the worlds, -when his devotees, great humble men, my masters, roam the Earth?

My Lord of coral lips and red lotus eyes swallowed and remade the Earth; I sing his glories, I worship his grace with fit flowers in my hands, I have his form in my heart, so what do I lack now?

Were I blest with service to his lotus feet, were I to enjoy his swirling flood of heavenly radiance, would that compare with this birth, -albeit in a lowly body, -where I sit and enjoy singing his names in a flood of sweet poetry?

The wealth of the three worlds and the enjoyment of one's self in heaven, put together, -will it equal the joy I have found here and now, through serving the selfless devotees of the cloud-hued Lord's lotus-feet?

Rather than attain the lotus feet of the great Lord, -the Lord of exceeding glories, eternal, self-made seed from which sprouted all the three worlds, -I only wish to enjoy the sweet union of his devotees forever
nALum vAykka nangkatku * naLir nIrk kadalaip padaiththu * than

He made the cool ocean, and spread his peerless from on it. His countless heads, hands and feet are like a kalpa forest growing wild over a gem-mountain with the radiance of a thousand suns, I only long for the sweet company of his band of devotees

The Lord has the power to destroy the karmas of his devotees, with his conch, discus, bow, mace, dagger and other weapons. He is youthful, and love-god kama's father, I only wish to serve the servants of his devotees

Through life after life, in every age after age, I only wish to be born in the family of bonded serfs of my masters, the servants of the servants of the Lord, -who has a kaya hue, four arms, and wields a discus

This good decad of the thousand songs by kurugur Satakopan addressing Krishna, Lord-of-blue-lotus-hue, who fills the Universe, will secure a happy domestic life for those who can sing it
