Guru leka
But for a guru, the finest shall know not,
An end to prickly matters of the heart.
This coil, son, wealth, wife and kin,-
Even birth, shall in time, rot and pain;
Yet, the tenet he teaches from mercy,
Heals and keeps from which we be fain.
Koluvaiyunnaade (Devagandhari)
Behold the mighty archer hold court,
So the pious may steal a glimpse;
Holy repast had in loving sport;
At His side, the queen and prince;
Azure robes and jewels clash,
With a billion lightning flash.
As the sages chant of the Word,
His joy sees men prospered.
Celestial nymphs in dance, shine;
As sages sing His glory divine;
As the Creator and the king of heaven,
Serve Him with love, I am struck!
The Lord of the moon-like face rests,
Upon the serpent of infinite crests.
As His queen anoints Him with scents,
His flock are bestowed their intents.
Add do I to this great pageantry,
Holding out betel on each gallantry.
Rama bhakti samraajyam
Most high the land of the Lord’s devotion,
Its subjects render bliss on sight.
A land past my stitched word,
By one’s own sight, averred.
Three worlds He made sporting,
Such is the Lord Whom I sing.
