The I GEM-Narayaneeyam
Introduction
“Rama Narayana “Translation of Narayaneeyam-An introduction.
Bhagawatha Purana is one of the 18 Puranas and deals with all the nine major incarnations of Vishnu ass well
as a few minor incarnations. This book has 12 chapters and 18,000 stanzas in these 12 chapters. Chapters
one to nine of this book deal with several incarnations of Vishnu. But the tenth chapter deals exclusively with
the life and greatness of Lord Krishna. Though originally written in Sanskrit, this great epic has been translated
in almost all major Indian languages.
Narayaneeyam is a 1036 stanza summary of Bhagawath Purana by a great poet of Kerala Called Melpathur
Narayana Bhattathiri who lived in between 1559-1632. The name Narayaneeyam would either mean “A book
written by Narayana (the author’s name) or “A book written about Narayana the God,”
Bhattathiri was born as second son in a Namboodiri family of Kerala. He mastered the Vedas as well as the art
of literary composition, as per the custom of those days he married the daughter of Sri Achyutha Pisharodi and
later became his devotee as well as student .When his Teacher as well as his father in law was suffering due
to rheumatism,
Narayana Bhattathiri prayed God and got the disease transferred to him. This disease was very severe in his
case and he suffered a lot. When he consulted Thunchathu Ezhuthachan who was a great writer and translator
of Ramayanam, he advised him to write touching (starting) from the fish. Bhattathiri understood that this meant
that he has to write starting from the fish incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He then went to Guruvayur and started
writing a summary of Bhagawatha. Daily he wrote one chapter consisting of ten verses (his younger brother
took it down) and planned to write one hundred chapters.
Though he did not mention any thing about his sickness and suffering in the first two chapters, the third chapter
is essentially a plea by him to Lord of Guruvayur to cure hi, in one verse, he says that he may not be able to
continue what he was doing. From then on, in the last verse of every chapter, he mad e a plea to God to cure
him.
The first 36 chapters dealt with various incarnations of Lord Vishnu, and chapters 37-88 deals exclusively with
the story of Lord Krishna. Chapters 89-99 dealt with the extolling of Vishnu as a primeval God as well as
several philosophical concepts. The last chapter is a mellifluous description of the lord from head to foot. It was
completed on 27-11-1587 as denoted by the last words of the great work, which also means, long life, health
and happiness. People believe that when reciting the last Chapter Melpathur was able to see Lord
Guruvayurappa before him and once he completed this chapter he got completely cured of his disease.
Millions of devotees in the past few centauries have benefited by the recital of Narayaneeyam and very many
of them have got cured of their diseases especially those caused by Vatham (Rheumatism).
There are very many commentaries available for Narayaneeyam in Malayalam, Tamil and English. There are
also few web sites devoted only to Narayaneeyam. One of them contains, the entire text, with word by word
meaning
http://www.narayaneeyam-firststep.org/index.html
Due to its availability, as well as my belief that such great prayer books can be read in any language, I have
not given the text of Narayaneeyam in my translation.
Another great translation attempt is
http://www.bhagavadgitausa.com/NARAYANEEYAM.htm
Yet another translation is
http://spiritualspacewarriersonline.blogspot.com/2009/05/narayaneeyam-english-translation.html
5
I have consulted all these translations but mainly depended on the Vanamala interpretation of Narayaneeyam
in Malayalam published by Guruvayur Devaswam Board.
I am sure some of you may ask, why one more attempt. I believe that the personality of the translator is deeply
reflected in any translation. And so mine which is in simple free verse and not a word for word translation
would be another addition whaich I am sure would help the reader understand the great work in a better way.
When I started the translation I wanted to translate twenty stanzas per day and complete the entire translation
within 50 days. Things were going on all right but when I was translating the chapter 67 , where Lord Krishna
disappeared to put an end to the pride of the Gopis, my translation from Chapter 60-67 also disappeared for
which I could not find any reason. Then I thought that it was to put an end to my puffed up pride that God did it.
I started the translation again and completed my first draft on the 60th day.
With the permission of my Guruvayurappan, I would like to call this translation as “Rama Narayana translation”.
I am giving this name because I am Rama and am translating a work of Narayana.
May the readers pardon me if I have committed any mistakes.

Indeed it is a great luck that in Guruvayur,

The great and well known divine principle of God,
Is present as the continuous stream of joy and wisdom,
Which does not have an equal, which is beyond time and place,
Which is always free from ties, which in spite of being made clear,
By several prayers as well as words of praise is still unclear,
And which makes you want to see it again and again, once you see it. 1.1
एवंदुलुभ्वस्तुन्यमप सुलर्तया हस्तलब्धे यदन्यत्
तन्वा वाचा मधया वा र्जमत बत जन: क्षुद्रतैव स्फुटे यम् ।

14
When this principle of God which is difficult to get,
Is easily available to us, it is unfortunate that people depend,
On some other thing by their body, mind and words,
And this is clearly not correct and also bad,
But we with great stability of mind are depending on,
The lord of Guruvayur for getting rid of all problems of the world. 1.2

It is heard that sage Vyasa has several times told that your form,
Is extremely pure and personification of Sathwa aspect,
And is entirely separated from the regal and base aspects,
And is made of the beings and their properties.
And due to this purity, your form which is unhidden great pleasure,
Shines and has a great form inside and is pleasant to hear and meditate,
Making it possible for your devotees to get attracted and enjoy. 1.3

It is said by the learned that the very pure sathva character,

Is equal to the beating of the waves of the ocean called Brahmam,
Which is without movement, always full, personification,
Of the limitless nectar of joy and great due to merging of several liberated souls,
Oh God who is everywhere, this thine form is the only complete one,
Compared to the several incarnations that you have taken. 1.4

Oh God ,who does not have any birth, though you seem to be without action,
You take up the job of being “this moment” without any reason,
And that is why you as the nature ,rise up at the beginning of the ions,
From within yourself though there seems to be nothing there in you at that time,
And that nature is pure, does not hide anything and the form of pure thought,
And you yourself have assumed your form from a part of that nature. 1.5

I meditate always on your form oh Lord of Guruvayur,

Which is as pretty as the water rich new clouds,
Which makes one happy with its play like kalaya flowers,
Which is the ultimate single essence of prettiness,
Which is the incarnation which is born as the good deeds,
Of those people who have done laudable actions,
Which is the place for Goddess Lakshmi to play without hesitation,
And which is the rain of nectar in the mind of those who meditate on you. 1.6

Oh God who can never be defeated, I once thought that,

Your act of creation was cruel as it gives all the beings,
Large amount of sorrow and pain in day to day life,
17
But I am not thinking like that now, for without that action,
How can they drink the beauty of your form which is full of joy and knowledge,
And enjoy themselves in the sea of nectar of that divine joy. 1.7

Oh God, you always appear before all those who salute you,
And grant them not only their wishes but also those that they have not asked,
You grant them the joyful path of salvation at all times,
And so, Oh Lord Vishnu , you are the wish giving tree ,
Which is available for all with unending fruits,
But those devotees seem unnecessarily to want,
That weeds like wish giving tree in the Garden of Indra. 1.8

Other Gods due to mercy fulfill some other desires,

But you give them due to great mercy give your soul itself,
Other Gods due to riches, become their Lord,
But you are god and Lord even of your own soul,
Some very lucky ones make you as interesting subject,
And become incomparably very happy,
But you are the one within whom there is nothing but joy,
And So oh valorous God, salutations to you for these exceptional qualities. 1.9

Your greatness is indicated by your making Shiva and other Gods obey you,
Your valour lies in your abilities in your control of the power of those who give power,
Your spotless fame is being praised by sages, who do not want anything,
Goddess Lakshmi is always with your various parts of your body,
And so you are the one who knows all and no one can imagine that you have any desires,
And so Oh Lord of Guruvayur, killer of Mura, you are fit to be termed as God. 1.10

I always meditate on your Vaikunta form ,

With the crown brighter than the Sun God,
The shining forehead with the long thilaka,
The eyes from which mercy flows and ebbs,
The shine of the smile which is comforting,
The pretty nose, the cheeks which are reflecting your ear studs,
The Kousthubha gem which adds to the shine of the neck,
And forest and golden bead garlands and the Sri Vathsa. 2.1

I surrender to your form which is beyond description by words,

Which has four arms wearing gem studded armlets, bangles, bracelets and rings,
Holding the mace, the conch, the wheel and the lotus flower,
Which is bedecked with yellow silk, tied over by a gem studded waist belt,
Which has holy feet which shines like a pure lotus flower,
And which destroys all sorts of sorrows. 2.2

After getting and reaching your wonderful and greatly joyous form,
That goddess who controls wealth, has become more attached to you,
And because of this even after reaching the homes of her great devotees,
She does not prefer to stay there, Oh Lord, Oh changeless one,
Due to the deep, strong and stable love towards your very pretty form,
She has got a very bad name as the unstable one, is it not uncharitable? 2.4

Oh Consort of Goddess Lakshmi, I will tell another reason to say,

That Goddess Lakshmi does not stay long with others,
That is because of her attractiveness to your pretty form,
For in the case of devotees of yours who are busy in meditating,
And singing about you, she is interested in hearing about,
The news of her darling and never leaves but stays with them. 2.5

Would attract the mind instantly, make it exuberant,
And make the hairs all over our body stand erect,
And make us drench in the tears of joy welling from our eyes. 2.6

Due to this only the great god like sages have chosen the path of devotion*,
Over the two paths called path of action** and path of realization based on enquiry***,
And have sung and praised it as the most suitable path,
And so oh God who is very dear to the Goddess Lakshmi,
This path based on the devotion based concept of your prettiness,
Is very easily available for use to all persons of this world. 2.7

Oh Lord, the devotion to you based on love to you is very sweet and satisfying. 2.8

And getting salvation after passing through several cycles of birth? 2.9

And always fill up their mind with thought about you only,
As the only lucky people who have all their wishes fulfilled. 3.1

Oh God, who gives blessings, please give me as much health as,

Needed by me to worship you and let me be blessed by you,
So that soon I would gain expertise in the eight fold yoga*,
And so that I would be able to get your grace and make you happy. 4.1
*Yama, Niyama, Aasana, Pranayama Prathyahara, Dharana,

Dhyana and Samadhi are the eight fold yoga.

We who are completely dependent on you ,
Would practice three Yamas of celibacy, non violence and truth,
And also practice the Niyama of bathing, cleaning of mind and meditation,
And assume the Asana of either Sukhasana or Padmasana and fix ourselves. 4.2

We would meditate within our mind without break on “Om”,

Would control our breath , would become pure by getting rid of passion and anger,
And then turn away all sense organs from their attractions,
And become ready to concentrate our attention on you. 4.3

(After the deluge when everything merges with nature , The God appears again. This chapter describes the
process of the appearance of that supreme God.)

During the time of the great deluge, when Maya stopped

Due to absence of character differences like sathva, rajas and thamas,
Merged completely with you, the macro and micro worlds did not exist,
And at the time life and death as well as salvation also did not exist,
There was neither day nor night and during those times, you were remaining,
As the form of ultimate joy and dazzlingly brilliant light. 5.1

Oh Lord, during deluge, time, action, sathva, rajas and thamas characters,
Animal herds and the illusion filled world merged in you who was interested in play,
But we cannot say that they have lost their existence, for if it were so,
Would they which are similar to the sky flower reemerge after deluge? 5.2

Like this after the passage two paraardhams, you decide,

To take the form of a creator and the illusion becomes tumultuous,
To become the three worlds and the power called time arises from it,
And all that is not visible and all characters become clear ,
And you after expanding these characters do the work of helping illusion in creation. 5.3

37
You are with Maya and have a form which is not in it and
The Vedas describe and praise you as the witness to the creation of Maya,
And you yourself enter in to Maya as reflections and become the Jeevathma,
And afterwards, after the tumultuous churning of nature,
And waked up by time , action and characteristics , suggested by you, that Maya,
Created the principle of intelligence and wisdom and this is called the great concept. 5.4

In these affairs of Maya, though this great concept is a mixture,

Of Sathva, Rajas and Thamas, Sathwa aspect dominates it,
And without any bias creates the sense of me and myself,
And Oh Lord Vishnu , due to your suggestion , this great concept ,
When the base qualities dominate creates the sense of pride and egotism. 5.5

That egotism depending on Sathwa, Rajas and Thamas,

Converted itself in three types, emotional along with Sathvika,
Powerful and intense along with Rajasa and Thamasa,
38
And along with Sathvika, created directions, Wind, Sun,
Varuna, Aswini devas, fire, Indra, upendra, Mithra,
Prajapathi, Chandra, Brahma, Rudra and Kshethragna. 5.6

And Oh Lord of Guruvayur from your power from the Thamasa Ahankara,
The sound which was the essence of sky was created. 5.7

From taste, earth, water, smell and earth were created,
Oh Lord you carried out creation of earth this way,
Oh Madhava you form the relation between the older to the old,
You exhibited the living beings along with dharma from Thamasa Ahankara. 5.8

And that Hiranya Garbha, due to increase of Rajo guna wanted to start the creation. 7.1

Dasakam 9 The penance of Brahma and creation of the world
(Lord Brahma searches for his origin , finds lord Vishnu and does penance to get the power of Creation and
initiates the process of creation.)
Brahma searching on all four Directions:

That Brahma born out of the lotus, sitting on the lotus from your belly,
Not able to see the origin of the lotus flower he is sitting on,
Being very curious, turned to look in all directions possible,
Developed eight eyes similar to the fully opened lotus flowers. 9.1
महाणुवमवघूमणुतं कमलमेव तत्केवलं
मवलोक्य तदु पाश्रयं तव तनुं तु नालोकयन् ।

He was able to see only that flower, which was waving in the great sea,
But was not able to see your body, on which it was established,
And started thinking “Who am I who am sitting in this broad lotus flower?,
And where from did this lotus flower originate?” 9.2
अमुष्य मह सरोरुह: मकममप कारणं सम्भ्वे-

Being very intelligent and curious, he knew that,

The lotus flower had a source of origin,
And by the power of his intelligence and penance,
He got down through the hole in the stalk of the flower,
But he was not able to find out your very pretty body? 9.3
तत: सकलनामलकामववरमागुगो मागुयन्

Then he traveled by all the holes in the flower and searched,

And in spite of spending very many years in this search,
He was not able to see anything and returned back to the flower,
And sitting and concentrating his mind, seeking only your blessings,
He entered in to a very firm Samadhi. 9.4
62
Brahma had the vision ofthe Lord

That God born out of the lotus flower, being in Samadhi,

For one hundred divine years, got clear wisdom,
And got rid of all dirt and bias of his mind,
And with mind full of divine joy,
Found out your divine body which leaned,
On one part of Adhi Sesha and which was reason for his wonder. 9.5

Bead chains, armlets, with the belt studded with several gems,
With the yellow silk worn by him in a pretty way,
With the shine of the blue lotus as well as the Kousthubha gem. 9.6

“Victory to lord Vishnu, who is the consort of Goddess Lakshmi,

And who has been clearly enunciated and described by the Vedas,
Oh Lord, by my luck, you have become visible to my eyes,
And please grant my mind the power to create the universe”
Said Lord Brahma and let that Lord protect me. 9.7
64
The Supreme Lord blessed Brahma

Then you blessed Lord Brahma by the following words,

“Oh Brahma, you would get the power for creation of the universe,
And please receive my blessings for that job to go without any problems.,
You should continue with your penance and also have,
Devotion to me, which will help you anything that you want.”
And these words made Lord Brahma happy and contended. 9.8

Then that Brahma did penance for hundred more divine years,
And got more power and strength and seeing,
That he lotus flower which was in the causal water was trembling due to the wind,
Became powerful and strong by your grace and blessings,
And drank all the water and inhaled all the wind. 9.9

When the sages cursed them with the following words,

“You both ,who are doing acts which are not in tune,

Then Swayambhuva Manu who was doing the creation of human beings,
Seeing that the earth was drowned in water at inappropriate time,
Went and approached Lord Brahma who lived in Sathya loka with sages,
And who was having a joyful mind as he was serving your lotus feet. 12.1

Oh Lotus eyed God, when Swayambhuva Manu approached Brahma,

And told, “When I was creating people, alas, the earth went in to water,
So be kind enough to make a place for all of them to live,”
And Brahma prayed deeply your lotus like feet. 12.2

You stood up, with erect copper coloured hairs,

Then your devotee Narada, who was well versed in diplomacy,

Oh God who blesses, managed to reach Hiranyaksha,
Who was running searching for you and standing in knee deep deluge water,
And praised in a muted voice, his valour and belittled your prowess and strength. 13.1

He told the asura, “That enchanter Vishnu has stolen the earth that was yours,
Oh Lord, alas, alas, this should never happened like this”,
84
Then that Asura asked roaring “Where is He?, Where is He?”,
And then following the path indicated by the sage,
Found you, who was getting out of the water, carrying the earth on your tusk. 13.2
अहो आरण्योऽयं मृग इमत हसन्तं बहुतरै -

Ignoring the asura who was telling “Alas, this is an animal” ,

And also berating you with very abusive words,
Oh Lord, you seeing that the world at the end of your tusk was trembling with fear,
Put the earth in a stable place outside the water,
And immediately without any hesitation, prepared for war with him. 13.3

You also armed yourself with a huge mace,
85
And when in the war the sound “Ghata, ghata”,
Filled the sky all over and when the devas,
Curious to see the war came in droves,
And Lord Brahma reminded you that he should be killed before dusk. 13.4

In the fight with the mace, surprisingly when your mace,

Fell down in to the earth due to the hit by the mace of the asura,
To the surprise of every one, you smiled softly,
Meditated and summoned the Sudarsana Chakra,
Which was famous for exterminating asuras,
And held that in your arms and faced the asura. 13.5

The asura blinded with anger prepared to jump on you with a spear,
And you cut it off using the chakra that you held in your hand,

Capable of surprising the world and thought that he can hurt you. 13.6

Oh God,you as Kapila told to Devahuthi thus,

“If one is interested in worldly pleasures,

And this devotion can be earned by company of great people.” 15.1

The five subtle bases *, the five bhootha elements,
The mind, the ten organs of sensation** and the supreme soul,
Maya, the illusion completely goes away.” 15.2
*subtle bases are Sound, touch, form, taste and smell
**Mind, eye, nose, toungue, skin, words, arms, legs, anus, penis are the
Ten organs of sensation.

“The soul is not affected by nature*, that is the birth and death process,

And this would make attachment to nature vanish.” 15.3

Insulted his own daughter Sathi. 16.9

Dasakam 17 The story of Dhruva
(The story of the penance of the boy named Dhruva, who was the son of king Uthanapada.)

To king Uthanapada, the son of Swayambhuva Manu,

His wife Suruchi became extremely dear to him,
And Sunithi, who was another wife was not liked by him,
And since Sunithi did not have any other go,
She forever surrendered to you. 17.1

Once seeing Uthama, the darling son of Suruchi sitting on his father’s lap,
When Dhruva, the son Of Sunithi started to climb in to his father’s lap also,
Suruchi it seems scolded him a lot, and is it not true,
That people who do not have devotion to you are affected by lot of jealousy. 17.2

Dhruva who was deeply upset by the great words of scolding,

In front of the father who has become a slave due to infatuation to Suruchi,
Went and approached his mother who told him that,
To those affected by fate you are the only refuge. 17.3

107
He,who was only five year old at that time, due to his self respect,
Hearing the words of his mother, decided to worship you,
And left the city and after meeting the great sage Narada on the way,
Learned from him your mantra and method of worship,
And went to the forest called Madhuvana and worshipped you. 17.4

When the intensity of that great penance increased,

All beings were not able to breath by its intensity,
And Oh Lord, as per request of devas, with a heart overflowing with mercy,
You appeared before Dhruva, who was completely dissolved in your divine form. 17.6

With the mind purified by the enlightenment due to the touch,

He sang your praises in great way and in great quantity,
And understanding the thoughts in his mind, you told him,
“Hey Dhruva, enjoy kingship for a long time and attain the highest abode.” 17.8

And later when his father entered Vanaprastha stage,
He took up the burden of kingship, and due to your blessing,
He fulfilled all your wishes and lived happily for a long time. 17.9

To the famous king of Anga, who was born in Dhruva’s dynasty,

A wicked son called Vena was born and that king disgusted,
By his wickedness, went to the forest after dedicating his mind in you. 18.1

Since in spite of his wickedness, he was very strong,

The people of his country made him their king,
And this Vena praised by every one about his strength,
Put an end to all the sacrificial rites which are dear to you. 18.2

When all the sages joined together and approached him,

To tell what is good for him, he told them that,
Except him there is no other lord in this world and,
Berated you with wile and hurting words,
And the great sages enraged by it ,
Cursed and killed him, like a moth in the fire. 18.3

You were born as the very famous Pruthu,

And you were praised and sang about by soothsayers,
Who also told that in future you would become valorous,
And you as per the advice of the great sages,
Fought with the earth, who had swallowed all wealth during Vena’s time,
And recovered all of it, by leveling the earth by the tip of your bow. 18.5

act.)

Oh Lord who is the killer Of Mura, when you killed Hiranyaksha,

By taking the incarnation of a boar, his brother whose name starts with Hiranya,
Having lost all his joy and happiness due to sorrow and rage,
Took an oath in a assembly of Asuras to kill you. 24.1

He after doing great penance , made Brahma to speedily appear before him,
And got a boon from him to be not killed either by Devas, Men or animals,
And as result became very arrogant and without even bothering about you,
Started destroying this world for which you are the Lord,
And snatched away the Heavens from the control of Indra. 24.2

Afterwards when he reached your home in Vaikunta to kill you,

You took a micro form and hid yourself in his heart itself,
And he thinking that you were afraid and have run away ,
Roared in loud tones and searched for you in all the worlds,
And returned back to his place c, considering himself as a victor. 24.3

And though he was an Asura by birth and only a child,
Developed devotion to you and decided to become a model to your devotees. 24.4

The evil hearted Hiranyakasipu , seeing the quality in him,

Of the slavish mentality to you, which is despised by the asuras,
Made him study under very many teachers ,
But he brushed aside all those teachings understanding that,
Whatever he has been taught by teachers was evil,
And grew up with staunch devotion to you. 24.5

When he was asked as what is the best among what he has learned,
He replied that it is devotion to God, and then Hiranyakasipu lost his joy,
And became angry with the teachers of Prahlada and later,
Understanding that it is due to Prahlada’s natural bent of mind,
He started thinking about methods to kill him ,
Who has completely surrendered at your feet. 24.6

Several times by use of sharp spears, though he was,
Made to be trampled by elephants of different directions,
Though he was made to be bitten by poisonous snakes,
Though he was made to starve or eat poisonous food,
Though he was rolled down from huge mountains,
Since he was the one who surrendered his soul to you,
Wonder of wonders, no harm came to him at all. 24.7

Deeply upset to see that all his attempts failed,

According to the advice of his teacher ,
Hiranyakasipu tied Prahlada by the ropes of God Varuna,
And made him stay in his Guru’s house,
And that Prahlada when his Guru was absent,
Taught the asura boys who were his friends,
The philosophy behind the devotion to you,
As well as the divine and supreme knowledge. 24.8

His father Hiranyakasipu hearing that all the Asura boys,

Were only interested in singing prayers to you,
Became blind with anger and called Prahlada as traitor of his race,
And asked who was his strength and Prahlada who was intelligent,
And not afraid of his father told “Lord Vishnu is my strength”,
And that god is also the strength of you and your kingdom,
And also that Lord Vishnu is the strength of all the three worlds.”. 24.9

And Oh Lord of Guruvayur who is the soul of mercy and soul of the world,
Please bear with me, give me solace and make me happy. 24.10

When Hiranyakasipu hit at the pillar with great force,

A deafening great sound which was capable of shattering the ears,
And which was capable of rotating the great vessel of the universe,
Was heard and Hiranyakasipu after hearing the sound which he has never heard,
Was shaken by an unknown fear and even Brahma was shaken from his seat. 25.1

And Oh Lord you with a form that is neither an animal nor a man,

And you with the white sharp hair all over you started growing big. 25.2

And you caught hold of his hands by your very stout hands and that hero,
Shook his hands and got free from your grip , and took a sword and a shield,
And after showing many steps and wonder of wonders, jumped at you,
And you looked as if you were prepared to swallow the entire universe. 25.5

Gushing out of him with great satisfaction and roared like a lion,

With shaking and tottering mountains and,
With the stars and planets which were getting scattered. 25.7

And gave him several boons without asking the boy,
And also blessed the entire world with prosperity. 25.9

Dasakam 26 The salvation of the king of elephants.
(A king by curse was turned in to an elephant and lead a pious life. And he was caught by a crocodile in water.
In spite of a great fight the King of elephant was not able to free himself. And when the elephant called Lord
Vishnu, he killed the crocodile and gave salvation to the elephant.)

Dasakam 27 The churning of ocean of milk and incarnation of tortoise.
Hear this dasakam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S94bviSGdmY
(Indra was cursed by Durvasa and became old and weak. Consequently the devas were defeated. Lord Vishnu
suggested that they churn the ocean of milk to get nectar using a mountain. When the mountain did not stand
steady, Lord Vishnu took the form of a tortoise and lifted up the mountain.)

Once sage Durvasa gifted a rare divine garland,

That he got from a deva maiden to king Indra,
And later when he came to know that it was,
Destroyed by Indra’s elephant Iravatha,
He became very angry with Indra and cursed him,
Which shows that those who were born out of other devas,
Do not have quality of tolerance like you? 27.1

Then due to that curse, Indra was afflicted by old age,

And he was defeated by asuras as he had lost his vigour,
And consequently Shiva and all other devas went to Lord Brahma,
163
And along with him all of them came to you,
Oh God , who is the basis of all pleasure. 27.2

Oh God who gives boons, hearing your praises,

Sung by all Devas for a long time, you came before them,
With radiating supreme light, and ordered them,
To reach an understanding with asuras and churn for nectar. 27.3

After Devas reached an understanding with asuras,

When they were taking Mandhara mountain with pride,
Which was designated to be used as the churning stick,
It fell down and you took it easily as if it is a Badara fruit,
Transported it Keeping on Garuda and put it in the ocean of milk. 27.4

Then later Devas and Asuras speedily made Vasuki,
In to rope for churning and when they started to churn the ocean
which was full of seeds of all medicines,
Using deceit you made Asuras sit on ,
Side facing the open mouth of the serpent. 27.5

When the ocean was being churned vigorously thus,

And when the water of the ocean of milk became tumultuous,
Mandhara mountain which was the churning stick,
Due to its very heavy weight , sank in to the sea bed,
Making all devas extremely sad, and you,
To make them happy took the form of a tortoise,
Which had a very hard and tough shelled back. 27.6

And you entered in Vasuki as well as people on both sides,

Due to the accelerating speed , when the king of the mountain,

Started to raise more and more, you kept your hand on it,
And stopped it from coming very much out of the ocean,
And Brahma , Shiva and others who reached the sky,
Became extremely joyous, showered flowers and praised you. 27.9

When Asuras started suffering due to the hot poisonous smoke,

Emanating from the serpents mouth and devas also suffered slightly,
Due to your grace the clouds showered heavy rain on devas,
And cooled them but this rain did not fall on the asuras. 27.10

Dasakam 28 Wedding with Goddess Lakshmi and emerging of nectar.
(Goddess Lakshmi arose from the ocean of milk was churned and Lord Vishnu chose her as his consort. Later after
several other things, Lord Vishnu in the form of Dhanvanthri rose from the ocean of milk with a pot of nectar.

Dasakam 29 The stealing of the nectar and killing of Asuras.
(The Asuras who were partners in the churning of the ocean wanted a part of the nectar. Understanding that it
would make them more strong, Lord Vishnu appeared as a pretty damsel and agreed to serve the nectar to
every one. But he served it only to the devas.)

You made them trust you completely. 29.3

The asuras remained silent thinking

That you were in love with them,
And you who is under the control
Of your devotees served nectar only to devas,
And you after assuming your real form
Cut Rahu an asura who was half drunk with nectar. 29.5

After punishing the asuras who snatched nectar from you,

You went away and the asuras started fighting with devas,
And the war became very terrible and intense,
And all devas became unconscious by the magic of Bali , an asura,
And you came before all of them once again. 29.6

Then you killed Kala Nemi and Mali and others,

And Devendra killed Paka, Bali , Jambha and Vala ,
And Indra also killed Namuchi who cannot be killed,
By anything which is wet or dry using the foam of the sea,
And you stopped the war as per request of sage Narada. 29.7

And he praised you and told you about his desire but you vanished. 29.8

Lord Shiva who was the enemy of Manmatha, the God of love,
Became extremely infatuated and passionately embraced you. 29.9

Dasakam 30 The incarnation of Vamana
(When Mahabali became very powerful, Lord Vishnu took the incarnation of Vamana and begged for three feet
of land. He then assumed the form of Trivikrama and measured the entire world in two steps. Mahabali
requested him to keep his third step on his head. Lord Vishnu then made this great asura king to stay in
Patala.)

Oh Lord who cannot be defeated by any one ,

Seeing the splendorous light of your body,
That asura became happy and with an idea,
Of satisfying you and making you happy,
With folded arms told you,
“What do you desire from me?, Oh son of a Brahmin,
If you ask me for money or food or house or land,
I can assure you that I will satisfy your request.” 31.1

When you heard the words of Maha Bali ,

Indicating his great power and riches,
Though you were full of mercy,
With an aim to destroy his pride ,
You first praised the asura clan,
And requested for three feet of land ,
For if you ask for all the land ,
Would you not become a laughing stock? 31.2

Mahabali swollen with great pride asked you,

“Why are you asking for only three feet of land,
From me who the lord of the entire universe?
You are childish because you can demand the entire world,
What is the use of this small land that you are asking”
It was this pride which later made Maha Bali ,
Not even able to give the three feet that was asked for,
And for getting rid of his pride , Maha Bali,
Had to suffer chastising words as well as imprisonment,
Even though he did not really merit them? 31.3
पादत्रय्या यमद न मुमदतो मवष्टपैनाु मप तुष्ये-

When you told him that a person who will not be satisfied,
By three feet of land , will not be satisfied even if he gets the entire universe,
Mahabali got ready to give you the three feet and took water in his hands,
And then Oh Lord who blesses, with an intention of testing him,
You induced sage Shukra openly say “Do not give, Do not give ,
For this is Lord Hari , who takes away everything.” 31.4

Then the emperor of Asuras strongly told,

“If it is indeed Lord Vishnu himself who is begging me,
I have reached complete fulfillment of all my desires,
And I would definitely give it to him , with happiness.”,
And then though sage Shukra cursed him,
With the water given by his wife Vindhyavali,
He gave everything to you along with water, What a great surprise. 31.5

Dasakam 33 The story of Ambareesha
(Ambareesha was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu who was always protected by Vishnu Chakra. When sage
Durvasa got short tempered and tried to harm him, that Vishnu Chakra chased sage Durvasa and left him only
at the request of Ambareesha.)

He was at all times devoted to you and spent his time drowned in you. 33.1

And without his demanding , you gave him the Sudarshana Wheel,
Which had one thousand sharp edges, for his protection. 33.2

During that time that Ambareesha along with his virtuous wife,

And observed the Dwadasi penance for the entire year along with worship,
And gave away ten million cows as gift to Brahmins. 33.3

Who had a natural inclination to cause problems ,
Walked slowly to Yamuna to complete his noon ablations. 33.4

The king due to the anxiety of proper time for breaking fast getting over,
With all his attention concentrated on you , broke fast with only water,
And the sage who returned by that time , coming to know that he has broken his fast,
Berated the king and tearing a piece of his own hair created ,
A wicked being called Krithya to destroy the king. 33.5

Even when Kruthya armed with a sword marched towards him,

As if it intended to completely burn the world,
The king did not budge from his position ,
And your Sudharshana wheel , seeing that your devotee is in danger,
Made kruthya look like a fly which has fallen in to fire,
And started chasing the sage and went after him. 33.6

Scared that great sage ran around in all the worlds,

And wherever he went the wheel chased him,
And when he went and sought the protection of Brahma,
He forsook him saying , “who can prevent the wheel of time?”,
The sage went and sought the protection of Lord Shiva,
And he did nothing but he saluted you and kept quiet. 33.7

Then you , who are everywhere, told the sage who came and saluted you ,
“Sage , I am the slave of my devotees and you well know that,
Knowledge and penance are respected only if it is mixed with humility,
And so go and pray at the feet of king Ambareesha only. 33.8

Then itself the great sage went to place of Ambareesha,

And when he caught the king’s feet , the king praised,
your great weapon and then the holy wheel went away,
And that sage praised the king’s great devotion to you ,
And his mercy even to those who do harm to him,
And wished him all sort of good things. 33.9

In the beginning of the fire sacrifice you drove away Mareecha with your arrows,
And later killed other asuras and on the way you liberated Ahalya from her curse,

And married Sita who was really Goddess Lakshmi but was the daughter of earth,
And returned back to your country after marriage along with your brothers and their wives. 34.3

Sita sent your brother to help you and Ravana abducted Sita ,

After meeting with Hanuman , through him you entered in to treaty with Sugreeva,
Threw the skeleton of the asura called Dhundhubhi by using the thumb of your feet,
And then just by one arrow put a hole in the seven sala trees with one trial,
And later you killed the very powerful Bali who tried to kill Sugreeva,
By very unfair means of hiding behind a tree by using an arrow,
And later you suffered and spent the entire rainy season without Sita’s company,
Near to the hermitage of the saint called Matanga 35.1

How can there be sorrow in your mind which is full of divine joy?
And Oh virtuous lord of Guruvayur , please cure my diseases. 35.10

(Lord Vishnu took the incarnation of Lord Parasurama to get rid of the evil and bad kings of the world. He was
born as the son of sage Jamadagni. To take revenge on the Kshatriyas who troubled his parents, he
massacred them for twenty one generations.)

In olden times you took the incarnation of Dathathreya ,

The son of sage Athri and his wife Anasooya,
And owing to constant harassment by your disciples,
You lost all enthusiasm and started wandering at will ,
Along with your wife and you were seen by your,
Great devotee Karthaveeryarjuna , the king of Hehaya,
and you gave him the boon of eight fold wealth ,
And also gave him the boon of dying at your own hands. 36.1

Oh Lord Vishnu , then to honour the boon given by you to Karthaveeryarjuna,

And to annihilate the entire clan of kings, who were causing harm to Brahmins,
And who had become a great burden to earth and were kept in check ,
Only by the valour of king Karthaveeryarjuna , you were born in the Bhrugu clan,
As the last son of sage Jamadagni and Renuka with the name Rama,
Causing very great delight to both your parents. 36.2

By the age of fourteen you had completely mastered all the Vedas,
And cut off the head of your mother due to the order of your father ,
Who got very angry with her due to her momentary attraction ,
To a great Gandharwa and also killed your brothers,
Who did not obey your father’s order and later,
When your father became peaceful, obtained a boon from him,
To bring back all of them back to life and were also blessed by your mother. 36.3

Then you went from your hermitage , where Kama Dhenu,

Had been brought by your father to please your mother,
As per the directions of the respectable elder sage Bhrugu,
To the Himalayas and worshipped Lord Shiva there,
And from him got his white axe , killed the asura indicated by him,
And got further very many blessed arrows and other arms,
And got sage Akrita verna as friend and returned home. 36.4

At that time the king Karthaveeryarjuna who had come to hunt in the forest,
Was welcomed by your father and saw the great wealth given by the cow ,
And was worshipped along with his army by your father as guests,
And on returning home as per the advice of a bad minister ,
He sent the minister to buy Kamadhenu from your father ,

And when he tried to take the cow by force and your father prevented it,
And your father was killed by the minister but his army was destroyed by the cow
But the evil minded minister who was having an army abducted the cow’s calf. 36.5

And getting in to a chariot also brought by him,
You went and requested the king to return the calf,
Several times and when he did not give,
You waged a terrible war against the great king, 36.6

Karthaveeryarjuna who was earlier playing by constructing a dam,

In the Narmada river by his two thousand hands , just for fun,
And destroyed the pride of Ravana who was worshipping there,
Used several divine weapons and arrows against you,
But they were stopped by you , and you also stopped the holy wheel,
And this made Karthaveeyarjuna understand that you are Vishnu himself,
And then when he started meditating on you , you cut of all his sins,
And put an end to Karthaveeryarjuna. 36.8

And made the entire earth free of Kshatriyas. 36.9

Though all the asuras were killed by you
In the battle between Asuras and devas,
Some of them in whom good deeds and sins
Were remaining and did not attain salvation,
Were born in the earth and the earth unable to bear their burden,
Took refuge at the feet of Brahma , who was already approached by all devas. 37.1

Then that Lord Brahma told them your own words as follows,
“ I understand the sufferings of earth and devas due to the very bad kings,
And to completely annihilate those kings, I would be born ,
In the Yadava clan , taking my fully complete incarnation,
And let all the devas and deva maidens be born in the clan Of Vrishnis*,
To serve me , along with their power.” 37.5

Oh God , hearing your words which were like nectar in their ears,
And getting a completely peaceful mind by the nectar of your mercy,
They all went back to their respective places of residence,
And due to your presence , in the holy and famous city of Mathura,
Vasudeva the son of Soora married the lucky daughter of Devaka. 37.6

After the marriage of Devaki and Vasudeva , Kamsa , the brother of Devaki,
Respected them well and went as their chariot driver and on the way,
You told as a voice of the sky, “Hey evil one , Her eighth son would kill you,”,
And the enraged Kamsa was greatly scared and took his sword to kill Devaki. 37.7

When that evil one caught hold of the hair of Devaki and was about to kill her,
Vasudeva tried to plead and console him and when he did leave his grip,
Told that he would undertake to give all the babies born to Devaki to him,
And this made Kamsa go home with happiness and later when Vasudeva,
Handed your first brother to Kamsa , he did not kill the child due to love,
And Oh God, this shows that even evil hard hearted ones have some times mercy. 37.8

During that time according to your wishes, when the famous sage Narada ,
Told Kamsa , the king of Bhojas as follows, “You all belong to the asura clan,
And the Yadavas belong to the deva clan and Oh lord , do you not know,
“That Vishnu as per the request of devas is going to be born to kill you.”,
Kamsa made life difficult for all the Yadavas and killed al children of Vasudeva. 37.9

Then the king of snakes became the foetus of the seventh pregnancy of Devaki,
And Oh Madhava , according to your suggestion Maya Devi , put that child,
In to the womb of Rohini and at that time you who are embodiment of divine joy,
Entered the womb of Devaki and the devas submitted prayers to you,
And Oh God, you who did all this may please remove all my sickness,
And bless me with supreme devotion towards you. 37.10

Oh Lord who is personification of complete joy,

When the time neared for your incarnation,
The rainy season came along with heavy rich clouds,
Which appeared as if is a powerful light emanating from you. 38.1

When all the environment got cool due to the heavy rain,
And when all good people were joyous because due to fulfillment of their desires,
And at midnight when the moon has just risen , you were born in this world,
So that you can remove the sufferings of all the three worlds. 38.2

In the room of your birth , though you were indeed a baby,

Your bluish black cloud like form looked as if it was attracting all sorts of wealth,
And the dazzle of your crown , bangles and armlets was mixed along with,
That of the conch, wheel, mace and lotus and was throwing light everywhere . 38.3

Oh Lord, who was the son of Vasudeva , due to the look tinged with shyness,
Of Goddess Lakshmi who was completely merged in your chest,
The atmosphere in that place was so surcharged that, it looked as if,
That all the evils in that house due to badness of Kamsa would be swept away. 38.4

Due to seeing you , who is even unattainable to sages , who have attained self control,
Vasudeva filled both his eyes with your very baby like form,
And was transported to great ecstasy and horripilation , and with choked emotion,
Sang your praises , with his eyes being filled up with honey like tears. 38.5

You are the knife that cuts off the tender creeper of sorrow,
Please remove all my sorrow by your compassionate glance.” 38.6

You who were also praised by your mother Devaki ,

With eyes full of tears of joy , told your mother and father,
About the happenings in their previous two births,
And as per their request changed your divine form in to that of a baby. 38.7

Due to your suggestion Vasudeva who was the son of Soora,

Readied himself to swap you with the daughter of Nandagopa,
And lifted you , who can be carried only by the mind of great saints,
By his two hands like a young swan seated on a lotus flower . 38.8

Then the Yoga Maya , according to your suggestion,

Drowned all city people of the cowherd’s place in to deep slumber,
And all the inanimate doors of the prison which were securely locked,
Opened by themselves and this indeed is nothing but wonderful. 38.9

Then the very lucky Vasudeva carrying you was shown the way,
By Adhisesha who prevented him from getting drenched in the rain by his hoods,
And lighted his path by the gems on his head ,
And Oh Lord of Guruvayur , who is like that please cure my diseases. 38.10
Dasakam 39 The coming out of Yoga Maya and festival of Krishna’s birth.
( Vasudeva brings the child Yoga Maya born to Yasoda to the prison. In spite of the baby being a girl, Kamsa
tries to dash the baby against a stone. She appears before him and tells that he who is born to kill him is
elsewhere. Meanwhile , the Yadavas of Gokula celebrate the birth of a son to their king.)

When Vasudeva was going ahead carrying you with him,

He saw that the river Yamuna was full of water due to floods,
But that great ebbing water , as if by remarkable divine magic,
Surprisingly receded to a depth sufficient only to wet his feet . 39.1

Vasudeva entered the house of the cowherd Nandagopa,
Where all the ladies taking care of cows were sleeping,
And all the doors were open and the little baby girl was crying softly,
And put you in the bed of delivery , and took the girl Yoga Maya,
And speedily returned back to the city of Mathura. 39.2

After that , woken by the cry of your baby sister,

The servants informed the news of delivery to Kamsa,
And he rushed there completely perplexed ,
And was only able to see a female child in his sister’s hands. 39.3

Deciding firmly that this was only a magical trick played ,

By the cunning Lord Vishnu, he snatched the baby from his sister’s hands,
224
Like a big elephant plucking a young lotus flower from the pond,
And dashed your sister who does not have birth or death on a stone. 39.4

Then she slipped from the hands of Kamsa,

Like your devotee slipping away from the rope of God of death,
Assumed a very different form , flew up in to the sky,
And holding resplendent weapons in her eight arms and shined. 39.5

Oh Lord Your sister told him, Oh Cruel Kamsa,

“What would you accomplish by killing me ,
For your god of death is already born elsewhere,
And now start getting worried of your welfare,”
And she vanished and she was praised by all devas,
And she is being worshipped in several temples. 39.6

There is nothing in the world that cannot be done by people without mercy. 39.7

Oh Lord Mukunda , later lying on the delivery bed of Yasoda,

When you started shaking your feet and creating sound,
All the ladies got up and informed every one , the birth of the son,
And what to say, the entire Gokula became drowned in happiness. 39.8

How wonderful , Then that Yasoda won a victory over all blessed persons on earth,
Looking closely at you who was as pretty as a new blue lotus,
And drank your prettiness by her eyes till she was satisfied,
And then fed you her milk slowly caressing your flower like body. 39.9

That Nandagopa becoming extremely joyous and happy,

And Oh Lord who grants good to the entire three worlds,
You kindly cure and save me from my diseases. 39.10

Dasakam 40 Salvation to Poothana
(Poothana not knowing where the baby to kill Kamsa was born kills several babies indiscriminately. She
reaches Gokula and while she tries to feed Lord Krishna, he sucks her life out and leads her to salvation.)

Later your father Vasudeva after meeting Nandagopa,

Who had come to the capital Mathura to give tribute to the kingdom,
And who was the store house of all known good qualities,
After learning about the slaughter of children
By Kamsa’s friends told as follows. 40.1
अमय सखे तव बालकजन्म मां सुखयतेऽद्य मनजात्मजजन्मवत् ।

“Oh friend , hearing about the birth of a son to you,

Makes me as happy as I myself got a son,”
And by thus telling he conferred the honour,
Of being your father on Nanda gopa. 40.2
228

He continued, here as well as in your place ,

Very bad and evil omens are found to occur,
And so please return back to your home as quickly as possible”
And Nandagopa after hearing these words,
Returned quickly fearing that some thing bad will happen to you. 40.3

At that time in the land of Vruja, a young lady,

Who was very pretty and having luxurious tress,
Around which bees were found to caress,
Came very near to you, Oh Lord who has,
Taken the very deceptive form of a baby. 40.4

That Poothana who had stolen the life of many babies,

And who was born in the family of Rakshasas,
229
And who has dressed herself in a pretty manner,
Made the cowherd maidens drown in thought ,
As to who she is and caught and lifted you up. 40.5

That Poothana with her pretty attractive form,

Due to her bewitching ways mesmerized ,
The Gopis , who were unable to stop her,
And started to breast feed you inside the house. 40.6

At that time , you who was very angry with her,

For having killed innumerable babies,
Climbed in to her lap and sucked her breast,
Which was coated with poison ,
Similar to the sucking of a mango fruit. 40.7

When you sucked her breast along with her soul,
That Poothana made a sound like thunder,
And reverted back to her real form of Rakshasi,
And spreading both her hands fell on the floor. 40.8

When the Vruja desa heard that horrible sound,

And happened to see her colossal ugly form,
It was filled with Gopis who were aghast,
And you were playing on the chest of Poothana and,
Was lifted away fortunately by the Gopis . 40.9

After having heard all that was told by Vasudeva,

While Nandagopa was returning internally scared,
Saw some thing that has uprooted several trees,
And sought your refuge and surrendered to you. 41.1

The smoke arising from the body which was purified,

By your drinking milk from her breasts , rose to very great heights,
And created a doubt among every body , that the smoke,
Was a result of burning a sandal or Agaru or Guggulu trees. 41.3

You imparted fragrance to the body of Poothana,

And it looked like that you were loudly saying to the wise cowherds,
“ Are you able to see the effect of contact with my body,
And this is not far off for you as you all will get it soon.” 41.4

The Gopas were drowned in joy by seeing your face ,

And were telling to each other, wonder of wonders,
This devil did not kill the baby and it is also a wonder,
That the foretelling of Vasudeva about the baby became true.” 41.5

The Vruja desa day by day became more and more prosperous,

The Gopis became very busy in talking with each other,

In their homes about your pretty form and bewitching smile,
And after completion of all their duties came to see you,
Every day and enjoyed by being able to see you. 41.7

Oh God, with stretched arms to lift you ,the Gopis prattled,

“oh little cherub are you not seeing me alone?”,

The Gopis passed you between them endlessly. 41.9

Oh Lord during one of your birthdays , when,

Several ladies , gents and Brahmins arrived as guests,
The Lady Of Vruja, left you near a big cart,
And was busy in walking around and cooking in the kitchen. 42.1

Then she heard from near you,

The sound of breaking of wooden pieces,
And shout laced with fear from the boys ,
With whom you had entrusted the baby. 42.2

Hearing that great sound of the uproar,
The Gopis came running with the breasts heaving,
And they saw you lying safely amidst,
The scattered wooden pieces in Nanda’s home. 42.3

The Nanda , Gopas , Brahmins and others came

Running asking “ Aha, What happened to the baby?”,
And seeing that you were safely in the hands of Yasoda,
Consoled themselves with their eyes full of tears. 42.4

Nanda and others stood there with fingers on their noses,

Saying, “what a great wonder, how this happened,
And how this very big cart has been broken to pieces,
And we are not able to find any cause for it.” 42.5

237
Oh God those cowherd boys who were supposed ,
To protect you said that when you did not get breast milk,
You were seen crying with shaking of your pretty legs,
And the cart broke in to pieces because of your one kick,
And assured others, “We have seen it, we have seen it.” 42.6

Then people who did not know your greatness told,

That, what these children are telling is unbelievable,
But those who have seen the salvation of Poothana,
Believed them and felt that it would have happened like that. 42.7

The ladies of Vruja with the flow of extreme love,

That can never be stopped caressed your limbs softly saying ,
“ Whether these coral coloured leaf bud like feet have been hurt?
Are there any wounds? Was there pain to these hibiscus like tender feet?” 42.8

Nandagopa ,your father unable to control his emotions,

Snatched you from your mother saying,
“Hey darling , This time he has been saved ,
By the grace of the great God, Please give me my little one”,
And hugged and caressed you again and again. 42.9

You have like this destroyed the asura ,

Who came as a cart to kill you,
And not a powder of him was seen anywhere ,,
And this happened because , he has merged,
Within your form of sublime purity. 42.10

Oh Lord of Guruvayur , after that in your house,

The Brahmins who were invited for your birthday,
Carried out special worship for your well being ,
And showered on you their auspicious blessings,
And Oh God who drowned the entire Vruja desa,
In joy by your baby pranks , remove my sorrows. 42.11

And a great asura called Trinavartha came in the form of a cyclone,
Filling all directions with dust and stole and lifted you,
Who was the stealer of others mind due to your pretty form. 43.2

Due to the darkness created by the dust which was everywhere,

When the Gopas were not able to see anything all round them,
Your mother came to the place where you were lying down,
Wondering herself as to what has happened to you,
And not finding you there started crying and shouting. 43.3

(Worried by these happenings Nandagopa and Yasoda consult their Guru sage Garga , who knew that Lord
Krishna was God himself. Sage Garga consoled them and at their request named him as Krishna. Krishna
would mean that which leads to joy and peace. It also means a boy who is black.The sage also made a
horoscope of the boy and read his future. He named Rohini’s son as Rama)

This ceremony should be performed very secretly,”
And named you along with your elder brother. 44.3

The sage Garga must have decided to conduct the ceremony in secret,
Possibly wondering as to how he will ever give a name to you,
Who has one thousand names or even countless names. 44.4

Adding the prefix “Krish” to the suffix “Na”,

To denote that you are embodiment of true joy,
Or possibly denoting you as the one who destroys sins of the world,
The great sage named you as “Krishna.”. 44.5

He also gave you other names and also ,

Gave names like Rama to your elder brother,
And explained their significance to Nanda your father,
Without revealing that you are God but made him understand,
That you are a superman with qualities which are not in others. 44.6

That great sage telling about your greatness told,

“He who shows love to your son , would be free from Maya,
And will never ever suffer sorrows of this world,
And he who causes trouble to him would be destroyed.” 44.7

Again sage Garga telling about your greatness told,

“This baby will win over very large number of Asuras,
Keep his own people in a place devoid of any sorrow,
And you will hear about his very pure fame.” 44.8

That sage further described without revealing you are Hari,

That “you will cross all obstacles with the help of this baby,
And so remain always with devotion to this baby”. 44.9

And then they shower and cover you with kisses. 45.4

Oh God, possibly thinking that “ I was forced to beg Mahabali,

The ladies of the Vruja desa did not bother about your stealing their curds,

Dasakam 46 The story of Yasoda seeing the universe in the mouth of baby Krishna.
(Lord Krishna’s friends complained that he had eaten mud. When he denied it, his mother asked to open his
mouth. There Yasoda saw the entire Universe.)

Oh God once , when you were sucking and drinking milk ,

From your mother, lying flatly on her open lap,
You broke in to a yawn and the Gopi who was your mother,
Happened to see the entire universe in side your mouth. 46.1

Oh Lord of the universe , at another time ,

When you were playing with your friends,
You deceived them while gathering fruits,
And they went and complained to your mother that you ate mud. 46.2

Oh God , felling that you who have made all the earth and water,
Inside you at the time of the great deluge,
Would become sick by eating little mud,
Your mother became very angry with you. 46.3

When your mother asked you with concern,

“Hey kid who puts on an act of obedience,
So you have eaten mud , in spite of my telling you,”,
Oh God you smilingly kept silent ,
Making her feel that her anger is without any effect. 46.4

Then when your mother being upset chided you,

“Little one , if you do not agree with,
What all these children are telling with certainty,
Please open your mouth, let us see.”
And without any hesitation , you opened,
Your mouth which was like , a just opening lotus flower. 46.5

Who was minutely examining your mouth for traces of mud,
You not only showed her this entire earth,
But also the universe consisting of all worlds. 46.6

In another place sea , yet another place the sky,
In yet another place nether world, men asuras and devas,
And there was nothing that she was not able to see in your mouth ,
For all the fourteen worlds and their things were there. 46.7

In your mouth again she saw you as the one,

Who sleeps in the ocean of milk,
As the divine one who lived in Vaikunta,
And also you as a baby just standing in front of her.
And was there any form of yours that she did not see there? 46.8

(When baby Krishna was left half fed by Yasoda to mind some house hold chores, he got angry and broke the
curd pot. Angered by this Yasoda tried to tie him to the mortar . But the length of any rope was not just
sufficient. Seeing her exasperated, Lord Krishna made her tie him to the mortar.)

Dasakam 48 Freeing Nala khoobara and Mani Greeva from their curse.
(nala Khoobara and Mani Greeva were sons of Lord Kubhera who had become trees by the curse of Sage
Narada. These trees were standing in the courtyard of Lord Krishna’s house. The child Krishna dragged the
mortar in between those trees and broke both the trees, Nala Khoobara and Mani Greeva regained their
original forms.)

You with a soft belly, who was praised by the extremely happy devas,
Who were surrounding you was called as “Dhamodhara” by them,
And you slowly caught the mortar and stood and saw to Marutha trees near by. 48.1

Nalakoobhara was the son of Kubhera the god of wealth,

And so was Manigreeva who was very famous,
262
And both of them by penance to Lord Shiva prettiness and form,
Became very arrogant and lead a life without thinking about you. 48.2

Those Nala Khoobaras who were once surrounded by large number of ladies,
Who were dancing and singing under the total influence of alcohol,
And were taking bath in the nude in the holy river Ganges,
And were drowned in various types of romantic sports with those ladies
Were seen by sage Narada who was your great devotee,
And who was worshipped by the entire universe. 48.3

Even though the ladies on seeing the sage , gathered their cloths,
And dressed themselves and were being clearly seen by the Nalakhoobaras,
They blinded by zest and having lost their wisdom did not stop what they were doing,
And were told by the great sage as follows so that they would get devotion towards you,
And also would be able to keep away their minds from base acts. 48.4
263

“You both would live as Marutha trees for a very long time ,
And after seeing Lord Hari, you would go back to your places,”
And hearing this curse those Nalakhoobara and Manigreeva,
With anxiety to see you quickly , became Maruth trees in Vruja desa. 48.5

You who were slow moving approached those trees,

Without any hesitation or fear , and entered in between those trees,
Which were very much worn out due to their age,
And pulling the entangled mortar made the trees fall. 48.6

Oh Govinda, as soon as you broke those two trees,

Two very radiant yakshas came out of those trees,
And immediately started singing your praises. 48.7

Definitely devotees of other Gods would gradually,

Reach and worship you, and these devotees of Shiva,
Have reached your feet due to the blessing of Narada,
And prayed for great devotion to you and went back. 48.8

Hearing the horrible sound of the trees falling ,

The Gopas were scared and came running to the spot,
And you were freed from your bondage By Nanda,
Who was staring at the very much ashamed and bent face of Yasoda. 48.9

The Gopas saying that “ This baby who was caught in between the trees,
Was only saved by the power of Lord Vishnu, without any problems,”
And took you to your home and Oh Lord of Guruvayur,
You may kindly save me from this diseases. 48.10

Dasakam 49 Entering in to Vrindavana.
(Upset by the various bad happenings the Yadavas decide to shift to Vrindavana (literally forest of Thulasi)
near the Govardhana(mountain that increases cows) mountain as well as on the banks of river Yamuna..
Krishna likes the new place and started wandering here and there\. He joins other cowherd boys in grazing the
calves.)

Those Gopas completely ignorant of your greatness,

Seeing the omens which did not have proper reasoning,
266
Thought that they were omens which are bad,
And decided to change their place of residence. 49.1

Then the great Gopa called Upananda , prompted by you,

Without further delay Nandagopa and his friends,

Started to that great forest after leaving their dwellings,
And immediately the cart in which you were with your mother also started. 49.3

Due to the very interesting sound made by the rolling of cart,

Due to the reverberating sound made by the hoofs of cows,
And due to the interesting indistinct baby prattle of yours,
The Gopis did not feel weary at all due to the travel. 49.4

In the newly built crescent shaped houses,

You went and saw river Yamuna, the daughter of Kalindha,

Which with its very clear water was flowing in curved paths,
Which was full of the pretty musical chatter of the swans,
And which had fully open lotus flowers similar to your smiling face. 49.7

You also enjoyed seeing the Govardhana mountain,

With hundreds of peacocks making their sound,
Which had different colours due to reflection of light on several gems,
And which appeared to be touching the land of Brahma by its tall peaks. 49.8

Then later you wandered along with the Gopa lads,

Though the forests which was covering all the four sides,
And seeing there the Kalindi river fully flowing in curves,
And felt that it looked like the passionate and lonely sweetheart. 49.9

And you speedily wrenched open his thick neck,
And sent out the Gopas and calves outside his body and came out. 51.6

Dasakam 52 Destroying pride of Brahma.
(Lord Brahma wanted to test your power and hid all the calves and Gopa boys with you. Then you , yourself
took the forms of each individual calf and the Gopa boy. This continued for one full year. Later Brahma came
and begged your pardon.)

Then that Brahma watching you give salvation to Aghasura,

And observing your great power which was not seen in other incarnations,
Decided to test you and using his power of delusion ,
Caused the entire of herd of calves vanish from there. 52.1

When the group of Gopa boys drowned in sorrow,

At the disappearance of the herd of calves,

Started searching for the calves and then that Brahma hid ,
The Gopa boys also with their half finished meals. 52.2

Later you , yourself became the calves and groups of Gopas,

As well inanimate things like flute , vessel and milk stand,
And happily played as to how you were playing before Brahma came,
And you due to your deception came back in various different forms. 52.3

While before this happened , the Gopis and cows ,
Due to the self centeredness of the soul ,
Were greatly loving them as their children,
But when they got you who is the God himself as their child,
They were drowned in ecstasy and great joy. 52.5

Even your brother Balarama was able to realize this only at the end of the year,
That the cow herd clan was really nurturing and pampering only you,
In your various different forms, indicating the real fact,
That though both of you are incarnations , you both were different. 52.6

When after one year Lord Brahma restored the real Gopas and calves.,
He was terribly perplexed that he could not find any difference,
Whatsoever among the real Gopas and calves and your forms,
And to dispel his confusion by all your forms ,
You appeared before him with four hands and a crown,
With the blue colour of the water rich clouds. 52.7

Please be kind enough to cure all my diseases. 52.10

286
to enter the forest of palm trees in which Dhenukasura lived in the form of a donkey .You got him killed through
your elder brother Lord Balarama.)

Oh Lord of the universe , after a charming baby hood,

When you entered the stage of a boy,
You left the job of looking after calves,
And started with happiness the job of looking after the cows. 53.1

Oh Lord of Guruvayur, this change is greatly befitting,

For you who took the incarnation to protect the earth*,
Started looking after the herds of cows*,
When you reached this stage of boyhood. 53.2
*”Gothra” means earth as well as cow herds.

One day when you were wandering in the forest ,

287
Along with Balarama enjoying the sylvan beauty,
According to suggestion of your close friend Sri Dhama,
You happened to enter the forest of Dhenukasura. 53.3

उत्तालतालीमनवहे त्वदु क्त्या बलेन धूतेऽर् बलेन दोभ्ाुम् ।

When as per your wishes your brother Balarama,

Vigorously shook the palms in that forest,
Fruits of the palm tree belonging to different stages fell,
And the weak looking Dhenukasura came there as a donkey. 53.4

समुद्यतो धैनुकपालनेऽहं कर्ं वधं धैनुकमद्य कुवे ।

Possibly due to the fact that you were sincerely,

Engaged in looking after the herds of cows*,
You thought , how can I kill this asura called Dhenuka*,
And made that asura who had fought with all devas,
Be killed by your elder brother Balarama. 53.5
*Dhenuka could also indicate herd of cows.

Then , when the servants of Dhenukasura came in the form of Jackals,

Oh Lord , you along with your brother , playfully and without effort,
288
Lifted them and threw them on the palm trees as if they were Jamun fruits. 53.6
*Jambu indicates jackals as well as Jamun fruits

When you both completely killed all the jackals,

God Varuna who also has the name of Jambuka,
Became scared and got rattled and hid that name of his,
Remain, only in the Vedas and not popularly used. 53.7

Oh killer of Mura, the devas in the heaven praised you thus,

“ The fruits of your incarnation has now been realized,.”
And you told your friends smilingly, “fruits realized , indeed”,
And ate along with your friends lot of palm fruits. 53.8

मधुद्रवस्रुस्न्त बृहस्न्त तामन फलामन मेदोर्रर्ृस्न्त र्ुक्त्वा ।

You then returned home eating with all your friends,

Who were entirely satisfied and proud by eating ,
Lot of big honey dripping fruits with very thick meat,
And some of them carrying big loads of such fruits home. 53.9
289

When you all shared these fruits with all people,

They said, “Dhenuka has been killed, killed,”
And ate the very juicy and tasty fruits,
And added , “Victory to you, Let you live long”,
And oh Lord of Guruvayur , protect me from diseases. 53.10

(The Cobra called Kaliya once troubled Lord Garuda, When Garuda came to attack him , he came to
Vrindavana where Garuda cannot enter due to the curse of a sage.. He mixed his poison in the river waters.
Once tall Gopa boys and cows drank that water and died. You brought back all of them from death.)

Once a sage called Soubhari interested in the service of God,

Did penance in side the water of Kalindhi for twelve years,
And during this time he became attached to the fish in the river,
Indulging in romantic sports and he happened to see,
Lord Garuda travel in front of his eyes. 54.1

Seeing your Garuda who was hungry ,

Eat one of the fishes in the river, Soubhari became internally sad,
And told Garuda that if he eats any fish from this river,
He would not live and attain death. 54.2

During that time a serpent called Kaliya , due to his very strong poison,
Became proud and ate the portion of food reserved for Lord Garuda,
And when Garuda depending only on your lotus like feet ,
Became angry and try to attack Kaliya by flapping his wings,
Kaliya had to take shelter in the waters of Kalindi,
Where Lord Garuda has no entry due to the curse of the sage. 54.3

Due to the power of his poison , the trees in the shore of the river,

And seeing this your mind melted with mercy. 54.4

Without the company of Balarama, due to the terrible heat of the summer,
292
The calves and cowherd boys became extremely thirsty,
And drank the water of the river till their thirst is quenched. 54.5

You then climbed the tree using feet which are soft like tender leaves,
And jumped in to the river which was tumultuous with its waves,
And went very deep in to those dreadful waters. 55.2

Due to the weight of your body which carries all the three worlds,

After this , when being not able to see you ,

The Gopa boys and cows who were on the shore,

Then you climbed on the hood of the king of serpents,

With your feet which showered pretty light all around,
And started dancing there to the accompaniment ,
Of the sound of the tinkling bells in your anklets,
And keeping beats with the bangles of your hand. 55.9

Hey Madhava , the king of snakes Kaliya with all his heads,
Bent down due to the crushing blow of your dancing feet,
Vomited blood and turned the waters of Kalindi in to red,

And fell in surrender at your feet. 56.3

You told them to go to the Island Ramanaka ,

Which is in between the seas and assured them,

And along with other snakes left that place. 56.6

You decorating yourself with the sparkling jewels,

Offered to you by the wives of the serpent king,
And also wearing the silks offered by them,
At dusk joined your people who were waiting for you,
In the shores of Kalindi and they all got drowned in their tears of joy. 56.7

Then during that night due to great darkness,

When none of you were able to go to your homes in Vruja,
They all surrendered to your lotus like feet and slept,
And at that time the forest caught fire and it surrounded them . 56.8

Then hearing their cry “Please save us, save us”,

Made in a very loud pitiable voice ,
You completely drank the entire forest fire,
And there is nothing great about it,
Because it is known that your mouth itself is fire. 56.9

“ It is well known that yellow *colour is that of the fire,
But due to this act of drinking*, it shines further”
Oh Lord of Guruvayur, please destroy all my sins as well as diseases. 56.10

Though you understood his intention ,

You acted as if you did not know about it,
And you showed great friendship to that Asura,
And played below the banyan tree a mock war,
Along with the very healthy Gopa boys
Dividing your self in to two groups. 57.4

Then you enjoyed the autumn which followed the rainy season,
Which had copious water clear like the minds of your devotees,
By grazing your cows in the fertile grass lands,
And Oh Lord of Guruvayur, please give me good health. 58.10

Seeing daily your form which is the true divine joy,

Which is as soft as Kalaya flower,
Which increases passion and attracts everybody,
All the Gopi maidens became infatuated in you. 59.1

Oh Lord Hari, due to churning of their minds by the God of love,
The Gopis were very much interested in seeing you again and again,
And were not even to able to bear your going to the forest in the mornings. 59.2

When you were going ,they fixed their mind on you

And went on staring at you without any break,
And when they heard the music of your flute from far off,
They entertained themselves by talking about your playful acts. 59.3

As for you , as soon as you reached the forest,

You made it a habit of sitting below a pretty tree shade,
With your legs stretched over each other,
And playing mellifluous music by your flute. 59.4

Oh Lord , the music from your flute,

Was capable of making even deva maidens,
314
Shiver due to the arrows of God of love,
And was capable of making animals and birds benumbed,
And was capable of making even stones melt. 59.5

Moving your soft fingers over the holes of flute,

And keeping beat to the music by tapping your red feet,
Was your form , which though not visible to the Gopis directly,
Made them think and again think about it and made them swoon. 59.6

The deva maidens who were walking on the sky,

And the birds, cows and all other animals,
Were lucky to see you without any hesitation
And the Brindavan was touched by your holy feet, and they ,
Were respected by the Gopa maidens as the ones who were lucky. 59.7

The Gopa maidens thought “ When will we be able to taste,

The nectar of your lips that was left out by your flute?
It is but a distant dream, alas that is but a wish unfulfilled.”.
And suffered great sorrow again and again by extreme love.” 59.8

Oh Lord, thus the gopa maidens day by day ,

Due to the blessing of the God of love,
Increased their passionate love towards you,
And reached a stage, in which all day long,
They were not able to do anything. 59.9

Oh Lord of Guruvayur , the gopa maidens were indeed lucky,

Because while love occurs by itself, the way to salvation,
Can only by arrived at by constant Endeavour,
And both of these were easily got by these Gopa maidens,
And God, please be kind enough to save me. 59.10

Dasakam 60 Stealing of the cloths of Gopis
(The Gopis start doing a penance to Goddess Karthyayani to make them consorts of Lord Krishna. While they
were taking bath in the river without any cloths, Lord Krishna steals all their cloths and made them come out of
the water and beg for them. Later he promises them that all their wishes would be fulfilled.)

Those twinkle eyed beauties, with a wish to serve,
Your lotus like feet , worshipped the Karthyayani idol,
Made by them selves out of sand , in the banks of Yamuna. 60.1

Those beauties , in the mornings went in a crowd,

Talking with each other your name and stories,
Reached the shores of Yamuna, took bath,
And worshipped the goddess with flowers and incense,
And with a prayer, that the son of Nanda should become their husband, 60.2

Seeing them observing the penance of Karthyayani,

For one month, made your heart melt with great pity,

You reached the banks of the river Kalindi. 60.3

At that time when their penance was complete,

They all kept their dresses in the banks of Kalindi,

Then , when you saw the beauties with bent head,

Due to shyness, you collected all the cloths in the shore,

“Oh ladies with pretty eyes, please come over here

And those lasses were extremely embarrassed. 60.6

Dasakam 61 Blessing given to wives of Brahmins
(There were a group of Brahmin women who were great devotees of Lord Krishna. Since their husbands were
ritual bound they were not able to see Krishna. So he himself goes there to meet them. When The Gopa boys
request the Brahmins for food, they drive them away but when they meet the wives of Brahmins they come
running to see Lord Krishna. The Brahmins realize the superiority of devotion over rituals.)

After that with an intention of blessing a group of Brahmin wives,

Who were greatly devoted to you , you along with the gopa boys and calves,
Went to a forest which was slightly far away from Brindavan. 61.1
ततो मनरीक्ष्याशरणे वनान्तरे

321
Then when time passed in that forest, without homes and houses,
And seeing that the children were hungry and worn out,
You sent those boys to request for some food ,
From some Brahmins who were doing Yaga in a near by place. 61.2

Then those Gopa boys went according to your wishes,

And when they requested for some food in your name,
Those Brahmins who were acting as if they were great,
Ignored them and kept silent in spite of their being well versed in Vedas. 61.3
अनादरात् स्खन्नमधयो मह बालका: ।

Those gopa boys returned back sad due to the neglect of Brahmins,
And this seemed to be very apt in case of them who were wedded to rituals,
And were completely devoid of any devotion* ,
For how can they give a hand full of rice to others*. 61.4
*Bhaktha is cooked rice as well as devotion.

Then you told the Gopa boys with a smile,

“Go and see the wives of Brahmins,
And tell my name and they who are full of mercy,
Would not deny you the food that you ask”,
And they went and asked them for food. 61.5

As soon as your name was mentioned to them,

They who were thirsting to see you for a long time,
Were nervous and fluttered and took all sort of food,
And came running in spite of the prevention of their husbands. 61.6

With waving peacock feathers on your hair,
With your cheeks lighted by the ear globes,

And keeping your hand on the shoulder of your friend. 61.7

And wonder of wonders, she indeed is lucky. 61.8

(Lord Krishna stops an annual worship of Indra by the cowherds. He tells them that they ought to worship The
Govardhana mountain which provides food for them as well as the cows and also the Brahmins who bless
them. They agree to the proposal and carry out the wishes of Lord Krishna. This angers Devendra.)

Oh God who was born in the clan of Surasena,

Once you saw the Gopas collecting things to perform a Yaga,
And deciding to put an end to the pride of Indra,
In spite of knowing all about it asked Nanda and others,
“Oh father , What you all preparing for? 62.1
बर्ाषे नन्दस्त्वां सुत ननु मवधेयो मघवतो

326
Then Nanda gopa told you , “Son, We do a Yaga to please Indra every year,
So that Indra will, bless us with comfort of copious rains,
For humans depend on rain for all their requirements ,
And specially for us you know cows grow up with water and grass.” 62.2

Oh God , hearing these words of your father , you told him sweetly,
“ No , I do not agree that Indra is responsible for the rain,
For it is the good deeds of beings that is responsible for rain,
And what sacrifice do great trees in the forest give to Indra?” 62.3

इदं तावत् सत्यं यमदह पशवो न: कुलधनं

You again told those very good people ,” The fact that cows,
Are the great wealth of our clan is no doubt true,
And I think that it is apt to give this sacrifice ,
To the mountain which provides food for these cows,
327
And to the Brahmins who are greater than devas in this earth,
Who definitely rightly deserve our worship.” 62.4

Those cowherds heeding to your opinion , offered worship,

To the Brahmins with more care and devotion,
And performed a very great sacrifice to please the mountain,
And also went round the mountain and offered salutations to it.
And you yourself became the God of the mountain and blessed them. 62.5

Did you not see the Mountain personally receiving the sacrifice,
And I am sure that even if Indra becomes angry with us,
This mountain will protect us” and hearing your words,
All the people of the entire Gokula became happy. 62.6

As soon as the very much satisfied people of Gokula,

Returned along with you to Gokula,
Indra knowing that the sacrifice addressed to him has been stopped,
Though he knew about you and was occupying high position given by you,
Due to the Rajas quality in him , was not able to bear the stoppage. 62.7

Indra with an aim to destroy Gokula where you stayed,

Sent the clouds of deluge to the sky and he himself,
Climbed on Iravatha his divine elephant steed,
While the guardians of directions like fire and wind laughed at him,
And Oh Lord of Guruvayur , who is there who is not bewitched,
By your illusion , for all the world obeys your words. 62.9

You consoled the cowherds by the words,

“ we need not be upset by the rage of Devendra,
Because we have the blessings of Brahmins,
And the mercy shown by Govardhana towards us,”
And were impatiently waiting for Devendra to act,
Oh Lord of Guruvayur, killer of the ogre Mura,
Please cure me from my illnesses completely. 62.10

(Lord Krishna lifts the Govardhana mountain and the Gopa clan along with animals are kept safe under the
shade of the mountain. After seven days Indra realizes his folly and begs your pardon. Then the usual life of
Vrindavana is resumed.)

There was the continuous sound of powerful thunder,
Which was rattling all the eight directions,
And dark clouds were shining like the colour your body. 63.1

The continuous rains which was falling along with hail stones,
Troubled greatly Gopas living in all directions,
They cried “ Please save us from this problem created by Indra,”
And hearing that , you who cannot be defeated by any one,
Told them , “Please do not be afraid.” 63.2

You told them with a smile “Is not the mountain,

Which protects the cows for us cowherds , our real God,
And I am sure that the mountain will. prevent ,
This action of Devendra without any doubt,
Why should you have any doubt regarding this?”
And Oh God you with your tender baby like hands,
Uprooted the Govardhana mountain from its place. 63.3

Later below the mountain which was held aloft by you,

By your single hand which was as soft as a lotus flower,
Water did not enter because it was the land of soft sand ,
And as the water was also prevented from far off,
You made the cows and Gopas stand properly,
Along with the kitchen utensils they used. 63.4

Though you were holding the mountain aloft,

You showed interest in telling witty nothings ,
With the Gopa boys and also girls,
And gently caressed the calves which came near you,
And all this made all the Gopas very happy. 63.5

Is it because of the power of the great mountain.,” 63.6

And his hands will pain after some time and,
He would put back the mountain soon,”
Caused torrential continuous rain for seven days. 63.7

And did not move an iota of the distance,

And when all the clouds were swept away by wind,
Devendra became scared of you and ran way. 63.8

All the cowherds after seeing and after witnessing,

Great acts of yours like the lifting of Govardhana,
Started thinking that you indeed were Lord of all,
And they again asked Nandagopa ,
About what is written in the horoscope about you. 64.1

As told to him by sage Garga and all of them,
Developed great respect towards you,
And their love to you increased greatly in their minds. 64.2

Later Devendra who realized the truth after his insult,

Lost all his ego and pride and came along with Kamadhenu,
And with his gem studded crown touched your feet and prayed. 64.3

Then he anointed you with the milk given with love by Kamadhenu,
Repeating the words, “Govinda, Govinda” and by this act,
Indra was drowned in the ocean of joy and he further anointed you,
With the divine Ganga brought by his steed Iravatha. 64.4

When you who were really the Lord of the three worlds,
Was anointed as the Lord of Gokula,
Gokula by your divine grace got the glory,
Which was not even attainable by heaven or even Vaikunta. 64.5

Who was taking bath in river Yamuna in the early morning,

You then accepted the worship from Varuna who was upset,
And received back your father who was returned back with respect,
And within no time returned back to your home along with him,
And this was narrated by your father in detail to the Gopas. 64.7

Oh Lord Vishnu,, the Gopas firmly decided that you were Lord Hari,
And were very anxious to visit your real place of residence,
And you showed them this spectacle which is difficult for others to see. 64.8

For a very long time and Oh God with complete form,
Then you yourself brought them back to this world. 64.9

In any of your previous incarnations like a fruit in the palm,

Are indeed the manifestation of supreme soul,
And so oh Lord of Guruvayur , please cure me from my diseases. 64.10

Because you are innocent , your actions did not match your words. 66.2

Dasakam 67 Destroying of pride of the Gopis.
(This makes all the Gopis proud because each of thinks that Lord Krishna , who is the God is theirs only. To
teach them a lesson, Lord Krishna leaves them along with Radha. Later when she becomes proud , he leaves
her also. Later when al of them are humbled , Lord Krishna appears before them again.)

Lamented uncontrollably weeping “Oh mango tree , we are in trouble,

Then another gopa maiden without any bashfulness,

Suddenly caught your lotus like hand ,
And placed it on her very heavy bosom,
And stood there for quite some time,
As if she was numbed by the joy that enveloped her. 68.2

Kept your very pretty hand on her throat,
And coiled it around her neck,,
As if wanting to stop her vital breath. 68.3

Along with the very joyous Gopis,
And sat on a cushion made of the saffron stained upper cloth,
Of those women and shined in a resplendent manner. 68.6

Those Gopis told addressing you,

“How many types of mercy are there?
Some people are merciful on all,
And some on only those who are devoted to them,

And some others do not show any mercy,
On even people like us who have left their all,
And then completely surrendered to them.” 68.7

Then you told them all, “ Oh lasses who love me,

Please do not suspect absence of mercy in me,
Who am afraid of loss of your love towards me,
And I did it only with an aim to make your minds,
Always devoted to me without break.” 68.8

And Oh Lord you further told them,

“Oh sweethearts , hear what I have to say to you all,
I do not see any one else who loves me to this extent,
And so during these pretty nights, start playing,
Without any inhibition on this bank of Yamuna.” 68.9

Oh God I meditate on your very famous soulful form ,

Which was specially decorated for performance of Rasa Kreeda,
With an array of peacock feathers arranged on your tresses,
354
With the ear globes on the pattern of fish moving here and there,
With several type of necklaces and forest flower garlands,
With body profusely fragrant with the sandal and other pastes applied,
With the dress made of yellow silk over which a girdle is tied,
And with the gem studded anklets with bright rays of light. 69.1

And then when all the lasses wearing all ornaments properly,
And with wearing a shield over their high warring breasts,
And with gem studded ear ornaments waving over their cheeks,
Stood in a circular formation round you,
Oh Padmanabha , Oh Consort of Goddess Lakshmi,
You started moving round in between every two beauties,
And also moved around the complete collection of pretty lasses,
And performed the very pretty Rasa Kreeda faultlessly. 69.2

Oh Vasudeva ,Hearing about the very rare beauty of your Rasa Kreeda,
355
Which was performed prettily in the banks of Yamuna along with passion,
From the sage Narada who described it from a far away distance,
All the devas whose curiosity was raised very high,
Along with several beauties who had dressed and ornamented well,
Came very speedily from heaven at the same time and stood in the sky. 69.3

Oh Devotees please pray the passionate outburst of Rasa Kreeda,

Which was done with the sweet songs sung along with the music of the flute,
And the very slow and regular pretty steps and hand claps of the dancers,
With the jingling sound made by the bangles in the back ground,
With dance steps in which you placed your hands on the shoulders of the beauties,
And with the sound of the tearing cloths worn over hip by the Gopis. 69.4

When due to intense competition between them ,

They sang the songs sweetly and very loudly,
And due to their movement based on the tune,
356
The necklaces and other jeweled ornaments,
Occupied wrong places due to the special dances,
And those devas and their women folk,
Watched happily and showered flowers
On the dancers and were completely bewitched,
And they got mixed with you who is divine,
And also became very much totally entranced. 69.5

One of those lasses was exhausted due to sweat and the activities,
And not able to bear the tiresomeness, with half closed eye due to fatigue,
Leaned on your very pretty shoulders and another lass with very disheveled hair,
Due to thrill of joy that ran all over her body, profusely kissed your arm,
Which was fragrant due to concentrated application of sandal paste. 69.6

Another Gopi due to the good things that she has done ,
357
When her ear rings waved , pressed her cheek against yours,
And enjoyed the water from your mouth mixed with betel nut,
And like that, these maidens having got control over you,
Who is the playground of the Goddess and one who is very pretty,
Attained the intoxication that they have never experienced. 69.7

Oh God slowly the music stopped and the dance also stopped,
And those Gopis enjoyed you completely without music and drums,
Started dancing in that gathering and not only that,
They were not completely aware of their dress,
Or tying of their hair or using cloth to hide their breasts,
And all the planets and stars seeing this stood still. What more can I say? 69.8

And also stopped the love sports and those beautiful Gopis ,
Who were more pretty due to their body being covered with sweat ,
Due to the great effort involved in the dance sport of Rasa Kreeda,
358
And whose mind was not able to tolerate their demands of passion,
And who were blessed due to the good acts they have done,
Were satisfied by sufficient passionate love play by you,
When you assumed as many forms as there were Gopis. 69.9

Oh God, you engaged yourself in several types of love play,

With those damsels who were cherished and fondled with love,
In the waters of the river Yamuna with extreme prettiness,
And not only that you also took these damsels to the forests,
Which was made mind stealing by the cool breeze there,
And which was full of scents of various types of flowers,
And engaged yourself in amorous dalliance in those shades. 69.10

Oh treasure of all that is attractive , like this you spent the entire night,
359
And bestowed on those Gopika lasses the happiness that could only be got,
By those very great yogis and which was indefinable,
And created a fame for them even among Gods like Shiva and Brahma,
And oh God who has a form which can be understood only by devotees,
Oh very pretty one, Oh Lord Krishna, please protect me always. 69.11

When you were living like this entertaining your sweethearts,

The Gopas went to the Shiva temple in Ambika vana along with you,
And celebrated the divine festival there and when it became dark slept soundly there,
And then one fierce python started swallowing Nanda Gopa. 70.1

Then the Gopas fought with it with all their strength and beat it with firewood,
But that snake did not loosen its grip and then they shouted ”Save , save”,
And fell at your feet and when you went and touched the python by your feet,
That Python regained its original form of Vidhyadhara and shined. 70.2

Then he prayed to you thus, “Oh Lord who is wielding the Sudharshana wheel,
I am one who is named as Sudharshana and once I mocked at some sages,
And they cursed me to become a python and I am purified by the touch of your feet,”
And he returned to his home and Gopas returned to Gokula with great joy. 70.3

Once when along with Balarama , you were engaged in sport with women,.
A servant of Kubhera called Sankhachooda without bothering about you,
Kidnapped those ladies and hearing this , you chased him with great speed,
And he left the ladies on the way and started to run and you killed him,
And you brought his crest gem and gave it to Balarama. 70.4

During the day time when you were wandering all over the forest with friends,
The Gopis who were feeling the pangs of separation from you , thought of you,
As the one as pretty as God of Love himself , who played sweet notes on flute,
And who was like a drink of nectar to the eyes of Deva Ladies, and wept. 70.5

And came before you who is the basis of Vedas. 70.7

You made the devas happy by catching by force,

And killing that asura who was fear less,
362
And having a safe form but not really safe,
Rushing towards you, with his head and horns held aloft. 70.8

Oh Lord , by thus killing the bull(Vrusha),

You established rule of Dharma in earth(vrusha),
And in the heaven and the mind of Indra(Vrushaa) ,
Was filled with happiness and this is wonderful,
And you were addressed and prayed by the devas. 70.9

An Asura called Kesi , who was a very close friend of Kamsa,

And one who used to get success in all his attempts.
Possibly thinking that people of Sindhu * can easily approach you ,
Came before you in the form of a horse born in Sindhu*. 71.1
*Sindhu is sea as well as a region where horses are bred.

This asura who came in the form of a horse(Tharkshya),

Kicked you , who had kept his leg on Garuda(Tharkshya),
On your chest , because possibly he had heard that the sage Bhrugu,
Had kicked you and thought foolishly that he can also do it. 71.3

You evaded the kick of his hooves,

And speedily threw him to a very great distance,
And though he lost his consciousness then,
He woke up and due his very great anger,
At you ,rushed towards you to bite you. 71.4

Then having decided to kill that horse,

You thrust your hand in to his mouth,
And enlarged the arm to immense size,
365
And killed him by obstructing his breath,
And though he came as a horse ,
He attained salvation merging with you. 71.5

Which consisted of killing a horse and this made,
All the devas very happy and they decided to call you Kesava,
The killer of Kesi and prayed you in several ways. 71.6

And then later prevented Kamsa from killing of Vasudeva,
Arrived at that place as soon as Kesi was killed,
And sang many prayers addressed to you. 71.7

Once a great asura who was a great magician,

Who was a son of Maya the architect himself ,
Who was a great enemy of devas and was named Vyoma,
Came in search of you who was interested,
In playing “hide and Seek” with other Gopa boys. 71.8

He saluted and worshipped the spots where you had played,

Oh God, who is everywhere , as soon as Akroora reached your presence,

He saw you with Balarama interestingly seeing the milking of the cows,
And it appeared as if you were expecting to see a great devotee,
And exhibit the divine truth within you to others by your light. 72.8

“That deceiver must be in either house of Chandra*,
Or Chandra Bhaga or Radha or Mithravrinda,
And spending his time deceitfully there,”

Dasakam 73 The travel of the God to the town of Mathura
(Lord Krishna with Lord Balarama leaved Brindavana to the cityof Mathura along with Akroora. The Gopis who
love him become very sad.)

Later when the Gopis heard about your travel to Mathura,

They became extremely sad and assembled in a common place,
And went on telling, “What is this? What is thing?,
How this event came about” and kept on complaining. 73.1

Those lasses thought about you only and cried,

“How can this son of Nanda who is the seat of mercy,
Completely leave us who do not have any other support,
Alas, Has God started behaving to us like this?” 73.2

When you started on your journey in the last hours of that night,
When your father and other friends were present with you,
To console those very pretty ones in their great sorrow,
You sent one of your friends to meet them. 73.3

You consoled them by the message,

“Very shortly I shall come back and meet you,
And the luck of meeting with me would be yours soon,
And I would definitely drown you in the sea of nectar.” 73.4

With heightened sorrow and loud imploring when those Gopa maidens,
Were seeing you from a distance, sending to the place where they stood,
Your gentle slightly sad glances again and again
You along with Balarama got in to the chariot of Akroora. 73.5

Accompanied by the carts of many Gopas and the mind of Gopis,

Who were very close to you ,crossing the forest
With sorrowing deer and trees , you reached the shores of Yamuna, 73.6

On the way Akroora the son of Gandhini dipped in to the river water,
For doing his noon ablations and saw you inside the river clearly,
And when he came out of the water . he also saw you sitting on the Chariot,
And he was wonderstruck, Oh God , is it surprising ,
To see you who are all pervading , everywhere ? 73.7
376

That blessed Akroora when he dipped in the water once again,

Saw you reclining on a snake and holding lotus, wheel , mace and conch,
Shining In the midst of several Gods and very many great sages,
And saw you as the greatest being in a perfect manner. 73.8

That Akroora then got deeply immersed in the ocean of bliss by seeing you,
And praised and prayed you in various methods and later when he saw,
He was not able to see you but he was still in the ocean of bliss as before,
Came to your divine presence with hairs standing upright all over his body. 73.9

When you asked him , “Is the water very cold so as to cause this state to you?”
Akroora became much more joyous than before and did not reply him at all,
And Oh lord of Guruvayur you sat along with him in the chariot , please

(Lord Krishna arrives in Mathura , In the city he kills a washer man who refuses to give him cloths, rewards the
weaver who presents him cloths , cures Sairandhri who is a hunch backed woman and breaks the bow kept for
bow sacrifice.)

You reached Mathura in the noon and stayed in a park in the town’s border,
Finished your meals and along with friends went to see the palace,
And you entered the main thoroughfares as if you were dragged,
By the chain of the accumulated blessings of men and women of that place,
Who had only heard about you and were thirsting to see you in person. 74.1

Oh God, then those women of the town ,who were like the rosy luster of your feet,
Who were shining like your body with the luster of their breasts,
378
Who were changing like your eyes, Who were very mind stealing like your chest,
Who were without blemish like your very radiant soft smile, and who were shining,
In their ornaments like your shining hair with peacock feathers, came to see you 74.2

You traveled in the main road there making people happy by your glances,
And this made the people assembled there drown in joy and surprise,
And at that time you requested a washer man who was passing by for cloths,
And when he sneeringly refused saying that they were meant for the king,
You cut off his head by your hand and he attained salvation. 74.3

Oh Lord, you then gave salvation for a large hearted weaver,

Who was prepared to give you suitable cloths to wear
379
Oh Lord who knows what type of blessing any one will get?
Oh Consort of Lakshmi , when you were worshipped by a flower seller,
With gifts of garlands , bouquets and songs of prayer,
You gave him great devotion to you and limitless wealth. 74.4

Oh Lord , then on the way you met a pretty hunch backed woman,
Who presented you with perfumed unguents and you ,
And also presented her mind with intense love for you ,
And later to make her body resemble her very straight mind,
You caught hold of her by your hand and within a short time,
Straightened her and made her look like the beauty of the universe. 74.5

Oh Lord , at that time the people who had not done that much sin,
Having complete faith in you , presented you with a betel leaf,

Flowers or any other gifts with a folded hand,
Oh Lord , because of this I am suffering great pain , now. 74.6

That you will see her later was passionately looking at you from a distance
You entered the main tower of the town and it looked as if,
Your fame has already entered the city in the guise of milk,
That flowed from the heavy breasts of Devaki when your arrival,
Was heralded by the noise and din of the city all round you. 74.7

After entering the city of Mathura where a great festival was on,
You went in to hall where the “Bow sacrifice “ was in progress,
The security of the bow either due to your sweetness or due to your splendour,
Allowed you free passage and even when the bow decorated by flowers,
And which was worshipped earlier was telling you, “No, No’,
You took hold of it , stringed it , pulled it and broke it. 74.8

Oh lord , that high decibel sound produced by the braking of the bow by you,
Seemed to herald the festival of killing of Kamsa , which was to happen the next day,
And caused great thrill and horripilation for all the devas, and the shivering it caused,
To Kamsa was greatly enhanced by the loud wails of the security guards,
Who were thrashed and beaten by you by the two pieces of the broken bow. 74.9

Oh Lord , then you with the great fame of granting satisfaction to the good,
And fear to the wicked , admired the prosperous look of that great town,
And by evening reached back to the garden where you were staying,
And told your friend Sri Dhama about your pangs of separation with Radha,
And slept that day with satisfaction , that the opportunity to lessen the burden,
Of the earth has at last arrived, and Oh Lord of Guruvayur, please protect me. 74.10

Next day morning as per the orders of the very frightened Kamsa,
The big drums heralding the commencement of the wrestling match started to play,
Making the assembled kings to occupy the allotted seats for them to watch the wrestling.
And Nandagopa also arrived to the palace at that time
And there Kamsa sat on the tallest tier ,
And you along with Balarama and your other friends ,
Decorating yourselves nicely and in a proper manner,
Arrived at the gate of the competition which was blocked ,
By the very angry elephant called Kuvalayapeeta. 75.1

Hearing your words, “Evil creature go away from my way speedily,”

And goaded by the mahout the speeding elephant caught you with his trunk,
And you freed yourself quickly from it like a child play and forcefully hit its frontal lobe,
384
Which rivaled the pot like breasts of the Gopa maidens with which you had fought,
And hid yourself in between the legs of the elephant and came out with a smile. 75.2

Then you who are an expert in eluding the forceful grasp of great sages,
Eluded the elephant and ran around and played and suddenly
You felled the great elephant and when it again rushed with ire towards you,
You uprooted its tusks even when it was alive,
And collected valuable gems at the bottom of the tusk,
And gave them to your friend Sri Dhama possibly with an intention,
Of making ,a pretty necklace using them and presenting it to Radha. 75.3

Oh God , seeing you enter the arena along with Balarama,
Carrying the tusks of the slain elephant ,
Due to their mind being stolen by your very great prettiness,
Those people assembled there told among themselves,
“Ho , Nandagopa is indeed a lucky one in all the three worlds , no, no it is the Gopis,
No it is Yasoda , no, no it is ourselves, we are the only ones with blessed eye sight.” 75.4

Which is eternal, Which is the personification of divine joy,
Which is the real Brahman , which is beyond space , time and causation,
And the one shining amongst the Gopas till you went to Mathura
And was seen by them when their real period of blessing came ,
And that the sins of those people who saw you were destroyed,
And became ever joyous and started recounting your childhood exploits. 75.5

Then according to the orders of the king, Chanura an expert in wrestling,

Fought with you and Mushtika an expert in fist fight fought with Balarama,
With mutual raining of powerful hits with fists, pushing down and,
Dragging and several types of fights with each other,
And that wresting expert Chanura even before experiencing death,
Wonder of wonders , experienced relations, freedom, catching and freeing*. 75.6

When the shocked people started talking with other , alas, alas,
These are children with tender bodies and the wrestlers have hardened bodies,
We will not able to watch this unequal fight “ and started to depart,
You rotated Chanura round and round with your hand ,
And when he was about to die , dashed him on the floor and killed him,
And immediately Bala Rama also killed Mushtika by crushing him,
And all those wrestlers present there ran away from the arena out of fear. 75.7

The very wicked Kamsa knowing not what do ordered the stopping of drum beat,
And ordered your respected parents to be executed
And take you, who is everywhere to a very far off place
And you got angry hearing these orders,
And jumped to the top of the palace like the Garuda swooping on a mountain,
And caught hold of Kamsa in spite of his brandishing a mighty sword. 75.8

Immediately you crushed the joints of Kamsa the king and threw him down,
From the top of the palace and you jumped and fell on Kamsa,
And then all the devas showered flowers and petals on you ,
Surprisingly Kamsa who was thinking about you always due to fear,
Attained salvation , and Oh Divine God , this was because ,
Of his memory of his previous birth as Kalanemi who was also killed by you. 75.9

You then killed the eight brothers of Kamsa and after that,
Quickly saluted your parents and made Ugrasena the king of Mathura,
And thus fulfilled the wishes of all Yadavas and you then made Udhava,
Who had learned Dharma from Brahaspathi and was your great devotee,
As well as your friend and due to this he started living in the capital happily,
And Oh Lord of Guruvayur , please be kind enough to remove all my diseases. 75.10

Dasakam 76 Sending message through sage Udhava
(Lord Krishna and Balarama complete their education under sage Sandhhepini, and as his fees brought back
his dead sons alive. He then sent his friend Udhava to Vrindavana to console the Gopis who were suffering
due to his coming away. Udhava consoles all of them with proper words and comes back. He also understood
the great devotion these Gopa maidens had for Lord Krishna.)

After this you who know ,everything that is to be known, along with Balarama went to The hermitage of
Sandeepani and finished your education within sixty four days,
And then brought back the dead sons of the Guru from Yama’s place ,
And gave them to your Guru as fees and returned back to your city,
Of Mathura , blowing your conch named Panchajanya. 76.1

Though repeatedly thinking of the Gopis who were pining with love ,
Due to your deep love and compassion for them all,
And also wanting to show to your best friend and devotee Udhava ,
The intensity of devotion of the Gopis , which can never be seen elsewhere,
You sent Udhava as your emissary on a visit to Brindavana to see the Gopis. 76.2

He reached Brindavan , which was a symbol your greatness ,at dusk,

And by telling about you , made Nandagopa and Yasoda very happy,
And in the morning seeing a gem studded chariot,
The Gopis assumed that Lord Krishna has come,
And later hearing that only your servant has come
They left of all their duties and came to see Udhava. 76.3

Those Gopa beauties seeing Udhava who was dressed and ornamented like you,
Recalled to their mind clearly the love sports that you had played with them,
And became incapable of talking and throwing to the winds shyness
And decorum , forgot that they were talking to a stranger ,
And started talking him in a very choked and faltering voice. 76.4

As well as your words consisting of false promises?” 76.5

The Gopis who were your sweethearts further cried, due to their excess love

With disheveled hair due to Rasa Kreeda you played with us,
Which is drenched with sweat here and there making it more desirable,

Later Udhava made , those Gopis , who were lamenting due to love ,
And were extremely upset, very peaceful by telling them your message,
Which was pregnant with spiritual wisdom and spent a few days with those Gopis,
Who had a satisfied mind and for whom you were everything . 76.7

Udhava was filled with surprise and was dumb stuck to know,
That in Gokula all household chores were being done,
393
With the accompaniment of songs about you,
And when two people meet each other , only your stories are talked about,
And all acts of every one was an imitation of what you used to do,
And even when they prattle anything while dreaming, it would be news about you. 76.8

Udhava gladdened the heart of the lotus eyed darling of yours Radha by telling,
“Oh Radha , your sweet heart Krishna when he is alone with me talks with interest,
Always about you saying , “this object is a pet object of Radha,
Oh Friend why are you not talking with me like Radha when she is angry in love.” 76.9

Passing to them your message “ I would come to visit you soon,
I am not coming only due to pressure of work,
Do not grieve because even in parting memory becomes very strong,
When soon you would get divine joy , you would feel meeting and parting to be same,”
Udhava made all those Gopis as people without sorrow. 76.10

Udhava came back from Gokula with a very gladdened heart and told,
“Nowhere else in the world can we see this type of devotion,
Which I have never seen nor heard. What is the use of Vedic sayings?
Or even staunch penance . My salutations to the Gopis.”
And you became very happy to hear these words,
Oh Lord of Guruvayur , Please remove the collection of my diseases. 76.11

(Lord Krishna satisfies the passionate yearning for him of Sairandhri, gave her a son called Upasloka , sent
Akroora to know the news about Pandavas, killed the armies of Jarasandha and got Kalayavana killed by
Muchukunda )

After that , nattily dressed and accompanied by Udhava you went to the house,
Of Sairandhri , who was suffering due to extreme love sickness,
And who was all the time thinking of the festival of joining with you,
And who adorned and dressed herself in the hope of your coming. 77.1

As soon as you went to her house, her mind attained satisfaction,
And her busts heaved hither and thither due to happiness and excitement,
And she with great joy provided honoured hospitality to you,
And you took her to her private quarters and made her happy. 77.2

At the time of your coming away , when you asked about the boon wanted by her,
That unfortunate one requested similar enjoyment for some more nights,
And we know a wise one would have asked for salvation but
It is surprising that she did not ask your company forever? 77.3

During some more nights and you also gave her a son called Upasloka,
And that Upasloka learned from Narada the secret of eternal realty and became great 77.4

After that ,once along with Balarama and Udhava you happened,
To go the house of Akroora ,who was very pleased with that,
And honoured all of you with great hospitality and sang your prayers,
And you sent him to find out the news about Pandavas ,
Who had then come from the forest to the town,
And also understood from him the activities of Dritharashtra, 77.5

Was blinded with rage at your slaying of Kamsa,
And not able to properly think about possibility or otherwise,

Came for war with the kingdom of Mathura,
And you using the chariot and charioteer got from heaven,
And accompanied by Balarama and a very small army,
Completely wiped out his twenty three Akshohini* army . 77.6

And he had a very huge army acquired by several mighty conquests. 77.7

And Kala yavana who was pursuing you entered the cave and kicked a sleeping figure ,
There, thinking it was you and king Muchukunda who was sleeping there woke up,
And made Kala yavana in to ashes and you showed your divine form,
To that king who was one of your very famous devotees. 77.10

Oh God , that king told you, “I am a king of the Ikshuvaku clan ,

And when I started hating all luxuries that belong to the king,
And started wanting only your grace I renounced all pleasures”,
And as he did not ask for any boons whatsoever, you became pleased,
And bestowed on him devotion to you which was equal to salvation,
And salvation also in a very short period of time, and directed him,
To do penance as a redemption to the sin of hurting others,
In the course of his life when he was a king and also later.,
So that this would set an example to all others who hurt others. 77.11

And went and reached Dwaraka and oh Lord of Guruvayur please save me. 77.12

At that time the moon faced Rukmani who has pledged her life to you,
Decked with auspicious ornaments fitting the occasion and with luster,
Started from her house guarded by valorous soldiers ,
From the women’s area of the palace to the temple of Parvathi. 79.3

And fell at the lotus feet of that goddess and again and again,
Prayed that you alone should be her husband. 79.4

When other kings were jostling with each other to see Rukmani,
Due to the wish to see her and when you were standing peacefully,
That princess Rukmani came out of the temple,
Lighting up the entire area with her great radiating beauty. 79.5

You went speedily near Rukmani and told her,

“Hey moon faced one , where are you trying to go,”
And then caught her by your hands and made her,
Board your chariot and abducted her and the sound,
Of the your enemies there filled the entire earth. 79.7

Balarama and other Yadavas easily defeated those kings,

Who were shouting, “where has the cowherd gone?”
And they were not even able shake you a bit,
Like the dogs attempting to fight the lion, Great wonder. 79.8

And then you imprisoned Rugmi who came to war with you,
And disfigured him by shaving of his head and face and killed his pride,
But you freed him and sent him back as per the advice of Balarama,
And you proceeded to Dwaraka along with your wife who was goddess Lakshmi. 79.9

Filled with shyness due to its being a new relationship,

Filled with love , joy and also passion,
Was Rukmani whose face lit up with her smile,
And Oh Lord, you took her to a lonely place and,
Engaged in love play and increased her joy. 79.10

Like this during day and night by jocular conversations,

While you were increasing her happiness,
one day by making an ambiguous talk ,
You created great sorrow in the very innocent Rukmani. 79.11

Dasakam 80 The story of Syamanthaka
( To clear his name against the unfounded charge that he had stolen the Syamanthaka from Sathrajit, Lord
Krishna, fights with Jambhavan and recovers the gem. He marries his daughter Jambhavanthi as well as
Sathya Bhama the daughter of Sathrajit. Goes to meet Pandavas who were supposedly burnt in a lac palace ,
comes back on hearing of the murder of Sathrajit, kills Kruthaverma and ultimately hands over the
Syamanthaka gem to Akroora.)

Oh God ,later you then begged Sathrajit to give you,

The Syamanthaka gem that he got from Sun God,
And I feel that the reason for that are many,
And I am of the firm opinion that it was for marrying,
Sathyabhama, daughter of Sathrajit who was in love with you. 80.1

Prasena the brother of Sathrajit went to the forest wearing that Gem,
Which was not given to you by the petty minded Sathrajit,
And one lion misunderstanding the gem to be a piece of flesh, killed him,
Nit only that Jambhavan who was the lord of the forest killed that lion,
And took away the gem and presented it to his son. 80.2

Due to the gossip floated by Sathrajit , people believed,

That it was you who has stolen the gem by killing his brother,
For the stain of character on good people is like nectar to others,
And you though being one who knew everything that is to be known,
Like an ordinary man started to search for Syamnthaka along with others,
And seeing the body of Prasena as well as the lion ,
Went inside the cave of the monkey to enquire further. 80.3

Jambhavan,, that very old and very great devotee of yours,

Without recognizing you and with the thought in his mind,
That there is none in the world who can defeat him,
Who is famous and surrendered completely to Sri Rama,
And also shouting “Oh Rama who is everywhere, Oh Hari , be victorious”,
Worshipped you in large measure and for a long time with his fist. 80.4

Later Jambhavan recognized you as Rama himself,

And presented you with his pretty daughter Jambhavathi,
As well as the Syamanthaka gem and you accepted them,
Blessed Jambhavan, retuned back to Dwaraka,
and immediately returned the Syamanthaka gem to Sathrajit. 80.5

Later that very intelligent Sathrajit ,

Disturbed by the shame of his earlier act,
Gave you the Syamanthaka gem, as well as,
Sathyabhama his daughter who was earlier,
Pledged by words to some one else, and you,
Whose actions cannot be guessed by any body else,
Became happy when you got what you wanted and ,
Returned back the Syamanthaka Gem to him self. 80.6

When you were sporting with the very bashful Sathyabhama,

You heard that the Pandavas were all burnt in the lac palace,
And you went to their land to enquire about it,
And alas at that time Sathadhanva at the instigation ,
Of Akroora and Krutha Varma killed Sathrajith,
And stole the Syamathaka gem from him. 80.7

And made Sathyabhama happy., meanwhile Balarama ,
Who had some misgivings about the whereabouts of Syamanthaka gem,
Went to the capital of Mithila and taught fight with mace to Duryodhana. 80.8

The syamathaka gem from Akroora and it is believed,
That this was done so that his wealth will increase. 80.9

That he was a very great man with mental peace and wisdom. 80.10

You later summoned Akroora who had run away out of fear,
With Kruthavarma and brought out the truth that the syamanthaka jewel,
Was entrusted to him by Sathadhanva and gave him that great gem,
To him , who was leading a very disciplined life according to Sasthras,
And you took rest on the bosom of Sathyabhama, and Oh God,
Who is the Lord of Guruvayur please take care of me. 80.11

You were specially dear To Sathyabhama who was loving and shy,
And along with her you attended the marriage of Panchali with Pandavas,
And later according to the wishes of sons of Kunthi you stayed for some time,
In Hasthinapuri and Oh Lord you returned to Dwaraka,
Only after helping them to construct the new town of Indraprastha. 81.1

To the marriage of Arjuna and Subhadhra and to show your love to Arjuna,
You arrived in Indraprastha along with Sathyabhama and Balarama. 81.2

Not only that , while in Indraprastha, one day when you had gone for hunting,
In the forests in the banks of Yamuna you saw Kalindhi and accepted her as wife,
And later helped Arjuna in the burning of the forest at Gandawa and satisfied Agni,
And after that returned to Dwaraka and there you seized from the assembly of kings,
Mithravina, the daughter of your father’s sister , who was in love with you,
But scared to tell it openly due to her fear of her brothers. 81.3

By mere thought you summoned Garuda , the king of all birds,

And after climbing on him you seated Sathyabhama on your lap,

And by the flowing blood of the slain army ,
You proceeded to convert Pragjyothisha pura in to Sonithapura*. 81.6

Then you went to the heaven to return the ear globes of Adhithi,
Which was snatched from her earlier by Narakasura,
422
Along with Sathybhama whose beauty made deva maidens ashamed,
And you were shown proper hospitality by Devendra,
And later when you tried to snatch the parijatha plant from heaven,
Indra became very angry and fought with you and you defeated him,
And returned back to Dwaraka , demonstrating clearly to the world,
The evil consequence of arrogance born out of wealth. 81.9

And this caused great astonishment and surprise to Narada who visited you,
And later you begot ten children with each of them,

Due to the advice of his servants, sent an emissary to you. 83.1

At that time with the intention of killing of the Kaauravas by Pandavas,
And Oh God, I request you who is difficult to understand to save me. 83.10

(Lord Krishna along with others went to the sacred waters of Samanthaka Panchaka and met all the Gopis
including Radha there. He spent a few months in their company and returned back after consoling them
through advice.)

Oh God ,then you approached the Gopas with joy and respected them,
And with joy went near the Gopis who had become as thin as line,
Due to the great sorrow of staying away for long from you. 84.4

Then due to the joy of being able to meet with you again.
All their sorrow due to separation from you disappeared
From those Gopa beauties and their bosoms burst out of their blouses,
Due to the immense love towards you and due to familiarity with them,
You became close to them and one with them. 84.5

When you told Radha that , “it was only due to the,
Conflicts with enemies which happened again and again,

That I am late in meeting you “ and embraced her,
She was overwhelmed and completely merged with you. 84.6

During that time in privacy when you removed the sorrow of separation
From all of them and told them, “let the belief rise in your mind,
That I am the form of the glittering supreme divine joy,
And am also the real soul of all the beings that you see,”
And consoled them with this philosophical thought. 84.7

Then your father asked the great assembled sages there,

About the rites that he has to perform to ward of evil,
And they told him that there was no need,
Because you God, was born as his son,
And though you did laugh loudly,
You made Vasudeva perform Yagas at that time. 84.9

Dasakam 85 Killing of Jarasandha and Sishupala
(When Lord Krishna visited Indra prastha to attend the Raja Sooya conducted by Yudhishtr, at the request of
Yudhishtra , he visited Jarasandha and got him killed by Bheema. He also killed Shishupala who objected to
his being worshipped after the Yaga.)

Then Oh Lord, twenty thousand eight hundred kings,

Who were caught and kept and tortured by Jarasandha,
Send an emissary to you , who is the only support ,
For people without any support and they ,
Requested you to completely eliminate Jarasandha. 85.1

Having decided to wage a war against Jarasandha,

Hearing from Narada that Dharmaputhra is planning to have a Rajassoya,
You becoming one who was not able to decide on the priority between these two,
And when Udhava told that since Rajasooya involved in making,
All other kings under you, these two aims can be carried out together,
Along with all related people you went to the kingdom of Yudhishtra. 85.2

Dharmaputhra who had collected lots of wealth and happiness.

Due to your grace through the victorious conquests by his brothers,
When you arrived at his capital along with your wives,
Oh God , who behaves as a slave to all your devotees,
Deputed you along with Arjuna and Bheema to Jarasandha. 85.3

As per his words , you three feigning to be Brahmins.

Entered Girivraja , the capital city of Maghadha,
And requested the king of Maghada for a festival of wrestling,
And since Jarasandha did not have sufficient merit to be killed by you,
You made Bheema to fight with Jarasandha ,
And preferred to watch the fight of kings along with Arjuna. 85.4

Jarasandha chose to fight ferociously along with lot of arrogance,

And was killed by Bhima by tearing him in to two pieces,
Following the hint you gave him by splitting a peace of wood,
And immediately you released all the kings held captive by Jarasandha,
With happiness and your gracious blessings and gave them great devotion to you,
And though they were all free from desires , deputed them ,
To do their own dharma of ruling the earth very properly. 85.5

After that when Yudhishtra performed Rajasuya sacrifice in a grand manner,

With the help of all kings who were pleased to help and others who were made slaves,
Oh Lord of the universe, you also contributed by washing the feet of Brahmins,
And how can the luck of Dharmaputhra br ever described. 85.6

And at Rajhasuya when Dharmaputhra wanted to perform the first honoured worship,
On the advice of his brother Sahadeva , did the special primary worship to you,
Who is the soul of soul of all beings living on the universe, with love and devotion,
And this made all the universe including men and devas very happy. 85.7

Wonder of wonders , at this time Shishupala told ,”When so many sages and great kings,
Are present here , it is shameful that the prime worship is being offered,
To a useless boy who is a cowherd” and also abused you in very many ways,
And lifting his weapons he jumped from his seat and ran towards you,
And due to this the enraged Pandavas rushed at him. 85.8

You then prevented people from both sides of any action,

And you yourself beheaded the enemy with your holy wheel,
Which is normally used to kill your Rakshasa enemies,
And that Shishupala , due to his permanent thought of you,
In his three births got the state of being one with you,
Which is extremely difficult even for great sages to attain. 85.9

Later you helped them complete the Raja suya sacrifice in a fitting manner,
And people shouted “Victory to Yudhishtra, Victory to Lord Krishna”,
And you returned home but the bad Duryodhana , becoming jealous ,
Of the great wealth oh his enemies stumbled in the assembly hall,
Constructed by Maya, becoming confused between,
Places filled with flowing water and places of firm ground. 85.10

When Bheema and Panchali laughed with derision at his confusion,

Oh Lord, you encouraged them in so doing by your mischievous glances,
And this immediately became the seed that would diminish the burden of earth,
And Oh Lord of Guruvayur who is like that, please cure me from all my diseases. 85.11

Dasakam 86 The killing of Sala and others and the Maha Bharatha war.
(Lord Krishna later killed king Sala who had obtained magical powers by penance . In the war between
Pandavas and Kauravas, he gave his army to Kauravas and he himself became the charioteer of Arjuna. He
helped Pandavas win the war in various ways and at the end saved the child in the womb of Abhimanyu’s wife
, when Aswathama tried to kill it.)

The king sala who was defeated by the Yadavas during Rukhmani’s marriage,
Pleased Lord Shiva by his penance and earned an air plane called Soubha from him,
And when you were staying in the Kuru country , along with his magical powers,
He attacked Dwaraka and Pradhyumna along with all Yadavas ,
Fought with him and repelled his attack and killed his minister Dyuman,
Who was very powerful and the battle continued for twenty seven days. 86.1

Almost immediately you returned back with Balarama and joined the battle,
And fought with the Lord of Soubha who had almost completely lost his army,
And he also using his mace broke your bow which was named Saranga,
And not only that he killed before you Vasudeva created by his magical powers,
And it seems it made even you confused and jaded for some time,
Though Veda Vyasa says nothing like that happened to you. 86.2

With your mace you pulverized the plane called Soubha and mixed it in sea,
And speedily killed Salya by cutting his neck by your divine wheel Sudarshana,
And then Danda Vakra suddenly jumped from somewhere and beat you with his mace,
And even this one who was blessed was killed by you using your mace Koumodhaki,
And like Shishupala he also merged with your majesty , indicating the fact,
The incarnation of Krishna was taken so that all these people should get salvation. 86.3

After your coming from there , due to the doctored gambling ,

In the court of the Kouravas, when Panchali was dragged ,
And when she shouted for help when her cloths were removed,
From her body, due to your mercy her cloths became never ending,
And later when they were in the forest and when the food was exhausted,
In the Akshaya vessel after Panchali’s taking her food, and when called by her,
448
Out of fear to the sage Durvasa’s curse , you appeared before her,
And by taking a leaf of amaranthus , which was remaining in the vessel,
You satisfied the entire hunger of sage Durvasa and his disciples. 86.4

After further passage of time when the preliminary negotiations ,

Were being conducted before the Bhratha war , while Arjuna wanted only you,
You gave all your army to Duryodhana and also went as an emissary,
Of Pandavas to Hasthinapura and there you were honoured,
By elderly statesmen like Bheshma and Drona but was insulted,
By Duryodhana and you revealed your super cosmic form,
In the presence of sages , shook the whole city and returned back. 86.5

You then acted as the charioteer of Arjuna, and seeing him upset,
Over the necessity of killing friends and relations in the impending war,
You told him, “What is this my friend , you know well that this soul,
Is solitary and does not have death and so in the present war,
Think about who is the killer and who is the killed ? , and so,
Do not think , that you are killing some one and fight in the war,
And do your duty to uphold the Dharma of a kshatriya,”
And then you consoled him by showing your super cosmic form. 86.6

Then Bheeshma who was one of your foremost devotees,

Helped you with interest in your job of lessening the burden of earth,
By daily killing many thousands of kings and at a time ,
When Arjuna was weak, you broke your oath of not taking your weapon,
During this war and armed yourself with the divine wheel of yours,
And ran towards Bheeshma feigning anger and he received you,
With folded hands and with a bowed head and this ,
Made you show your joy at him and returned back.,
Possibly to fulfill the vow of Bheeshma that,
He will force you take up arms during the battle. 86.7

You saved Arjuna in the battle with Drona by receiving ,

Saved Arjuna from Nagasthra sent by Karna , by pushing ,
The chariot down and made the arrow take only his crown,
And like this you were definitely not the charioteer for the Pandavas. 86.8

Balarama who was armed with a plough , went on a pilgrimage,

At the start of the war and when he reached Naimisaranya,
He killed Sutha who did not honour him when he approached the place,
And appointed his son to continue reading the epics instead of him,
And he also killed Balala who used to hinder yagas during every full moon,
And visited several sacred waters and reached Kurukshetra, at the end of the war,
And understanding that he would not able to stop the wrestling ,
Between Bhima and Duryodhana returned back to your city Dwaraka. 86.9

Dasakam 87 The story of Kuchela
(Kuchela who was a poor Brahmin class mate of Lord Krishna came to see him with a small quantity of beaten
rice tied to his torn cloth. After receiving him well. Lord Krishna ate , one hand full of that beaten rice and was
prevented from eating further by Rukhmani. Without asking anything when Kuchela went back home, he saw
that Lord Krishna gave him immense wealth and prosperity.)

Kuchela a Brahmin householder who was studying along with you,

In the hermitage of Sandheepini, due to his very great devotion to you,
Led a life of extreme peace free from all worldly desires . 87.1

His wife though she was as peaceful as Kuchela,

Had not won the war with the mind like him,
And asked him one day, “Why are you not ,
Paying a visit to your friend and consort of Lakshmi ,
And request him for some means to make our ends meet. 87.2

When his wife who was suffering from hunger told like this,
Kuchela though he had hatred towards money that created pride,
Due to the desire to see you started his journey to see you, carrying,
A small quantity of beaten rice tied at the end off his cloth as offering to you. 87.3

Reaching your town of Dwaraka full of wonderful sights,

That Kuchela entered the house of Mithravinda,
Among the houses of your sixteen thousand eight consorts,
And felt as if he has entered Vaikunta and was charmed,
By the great hospitality shown by you towards him. 87.4

After doing all necessary treatments of hospitality ,

Including his being fanned by your consort Mithravinda,
You held the hands of Kuchela and reminded him ,
Of the great wetting that both of you had from a torrential rain,
When you both went to collect firewood as per wishes of your teacher’s wife. 87.5

Due to shyness when Kuchela hesitated to give the offering,

brought by him , you forcibly snatched it from his hand,
And by the time you took one hand full of that offering,
The very nervous Rukhmani who was goddess Lakshmi , rushed to that place ,
And stopped your hand saying, “Is this not enough?”. 87.6

Thinking of telling his wife, “If I had asked , he sure would have given,”

He saw before him a mansion made of jewels. 87.8

(As per request of his mother Devaki, Lord Krishna brought back from the Suthala world a ll his dead siblings
and later gave them salvation. He also helped Arjuna to keep up his promise of saving from death an expected
child of a Brahmin , by taking him to Vaikunta. With this Chapter, the story of incarnation of Lord Krishna
comes to an end.)

Hearing the news that you had brought back alive the dead sons of your teacher,
Devaki , your mother, who earlier itself wanted to see her six dead children ,
And on her request you brought those six sons who were earlier sons of Mareechi,
And later due to the curse of Brahma were reborn as sons of Hiranyakasipu,
From the land of Suthala by approaching Mahabali, who gave them to you,
And after showing them to your mother sent them back to your own place. 88.1

Later when a Brahmin lamented at the death of his sons, one after another,
And when he cried, though you were the sustainer of the entire universe,
You consoled him saying that “Who can stop the results of Karma?”
And I think that you did like this in order to humble the pride of Arjuna,
And his misconception that you are but only an ordinary human being,
And to show him your abode Vaikunta and make him realize the great truth. 88.4

When the people started talking, “ Alas, This Brahmin has borne eight sons,
And it is due to the indifference of Krishna that they were not saved”,
And at that time Arjuna happened to visit your town of Dwaraka,
And was living there due to the close friendship with you,
And a ninth son was born to the Brahmin who also died,
460
And hearing the sorrowful wail of the Brahmin Arjuna took an oath that,
”If I do not succeed in saving this Brahmin’s next child, I would enter the fire.” 88.5

Then that very proud Arjuna went to the house of the Brahmin,
Without your knowledge and completely enveloped the labour room ,
By a fortress made out of his divine arrows and in spite of that,
When the new born baby suddenly died like the previous times,
Arjuna using his yogic powers reached the cities of Yama, Indra and other places,
And searched for the baby there and when all his efforts failed,
And was trying to immolate himself in fire, you stopped him. 88.6

Then you proceeded to the west along with Arjuna , in a super fast chariot,
Crossed the horizon, drove away the deep darkness there using your Sudarshana wheel,
And to Arjuna who was blinded by the strong rays of the Sudarshana,
You pointed out a place after the seven seas and told , “Look, look”,
And showed him your abode which is not touched by base qualities. 88.7

Who is the chief of the trinity of Gods, who is the greatest in all worlds,
Who is the only meaning of all Vedas and personification of salvation. 88.8

kill any body by placing their hand on their head. He wanted to test the efficacy of the boon on Lord Shiva
himself, Lord Vishnu saved him by making the asura keep his hand on his head himself. This proves that
though Lord Vishnu is difficult to please , his devotees are good people.
Some sages doing penance in the banks of river Saraswathi sent sage Bhrugu to test as to who is superior
among Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu. When he went and abused Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma both of them got
angry .Lord Vishnu , not only did not get angry but treated the sage with hospitality.)

I understand , Oh consort of Lakshmi that prosperity does not ,

Increase suddenly to your devotees because it also increases their pride,
And because of this you bless them with prosperity and wealth,
Only after they have attained the state of perfect mental tranquility,
But in case one has it already , there is no delay in granting him wealth. 89.1

Oh Lord , some devotees depending on their natural inclinations,

Worship Shiva, Brahma etc who are easy to please and easily get angry,
Alas, such people due to their lack of foresight come to grief,
And the perfect example for this is the story of Vrikasura. 89.2

Once Vrikasura , the son of Shakuni approached sage Narada ,

And asked him about the God who would be easily and speedily pleased,
And he counseled him to meditate on Lord Shiva and did not suggest you,
Because you are not favourably inclined towards bad people. 89.3

By doing very great penance That Vrikasura became very impatient,

And on the seventh day , he started to cut off his own head,
To offer in fire and Lord Shiva , the destroyer of three cities came before him,
And the asura requested for a base and very horrible boon , of his becoming,
Able to make any one in die just by placing his hand on the head of the person,
Indicating the fact that people who are not your devotees will not have good sense. 89.4

As soon as the boon was granted , he jumped and went near Lord shiva himself,
Similar to a freed lion jumping at the person who helped to free him,
And Lord Shiva became very scared of the asura and started running,
To various different places and since no body was able to help him,
Came to your place and you seeing Lord Shiva from a distance,
Took the form of A Brahmachari and approached the Asura,
Even before he could approach the very gates of Vaikunta. 89.5

When you told him, “Oh Son of Shakuni , victory to you,

468
Why are you running hither and thither hearing the words of a ghost?
Suppose you do not have any belief in me , can you not place your hand on your head,”
And that foolish Asura who believed all that you told him,
Kept his own hand on his own head and fell dead like a log,
And like this destruction is definite to those who pray to other Gods,
And not only that even for Shiva you are the only support. 89.6

Some saints who were doing penance in the banks of river Saraswathi,
Wanting to know who has maximum sathva qualities among the trinity ,
Deputed, sage Brugu to find it out and when he approached Brahma,
And showed disrespect to him, he got extremely angry but controlled his temper,
But in case of Lord Shiva , he was so irked that he rushed to kill the saint,
But was prevented by Goddess Parvathi from doing it and then he came to you. 89.7

I pray you so that all my sorrows come to an end. 89.10

Dasakam 90 Establishment of the greatness of Vishnu
(The author puts up several points of arguments to prove that Lord Vishnu , who is pre dominantly Sathvic is
the greatest among the trinity of gods. From this chapter, the story telling is over. Theories and philosophy are
explained till the last chapter where a description of the Lord is given.)

Oh Lord, Oh Supreme, being From the stories of Vrukasura ,Sage Brugu ,

And Ambreeksha, it has been established in the great epic Bhagawatha,
That your power wins over the powers of all devas including Shiva and Brahma,
And it has also been told that you are the one who shines as the power,
Which cannot be defined and is different from the attribute less,
And fully described aspects of Supreme Brahman . 90.1

In the five fold aspect* of God namely Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva , Ishwara and Sadashiva,
The fifth aspect Sadashiva is you yourself , who is the form of the divine spirit,
And also the form Ishwara also denotes you as the one who resides in Vaikunta,
And you are also the one who manifests yourself as the holy trinity in Sathya Loka 90.2
*Five fold aspect is the theory of Shaivites

Among the trinity you as the pure Sathvik form of Vishnu ,

For Brahma has less of Sathva Guna and more of Rajo Guna,
And in your form as Shiva there is an abundance of Sathwa Guna,
And acts which are having a higher aspect of Thamo Guna. 90.3

He went that way singing your praises. 90.5

You who is the god of all with the luster of the blue lotus flower,

He has pointed you as the one best for meditation with attributes. 90.6

Those who worship Shiva due to their in born tendencies, get results of such worship,

The needs of such persons, that Veda Vyasa in Puranas like Skanda,
Has depreciated you for the sake of pointing primacy of Lord Shiva. 90.9

Arthavada is of three types namely praise whatever is the real truth,

Argue and point out that whatever does not exist , really exists,
And tell that, that which exists , does not really exist,
And is meant to make you interested in whatever one is describing,
And the mention in Skandapurana and other Puranas,
476
That Lord Vishnu has thamo Guna and that he was defeated, he was given advice,
Are Arthavadas meant to prove that Other Gods are superior. 90.10

Oh Lord Krishna , who is within all beings and the God who blesses even Devas,
I think the best remedy for removing fear of the dying man who becomes sad imagining That things which are
not there exists, is the extolling of the virtues of your feet,
For only by such devotion all sort of fears one is subjected to can be removed,
And that is the reason why the devotee who practices the method of worships,
As taught by you does not dash on any thing , even if he runs due to illusion,
With closed eyes in a strange path that he is not accustomed to. 91.1

When he surrenders his mind, acts , words, sense organs, sensations due to them,
478
And his soul to you , he makes this world great and very much blessed,
But a Brahmin who is indifferent to your feet does not become blessed. 91.2

Fear is caused by a second something which is different from us and.

Is the result of imagination of the mind and so think,
Continuously that all things are only one and ,
Control as much as possible the activity of the brain and if,
In spite of it, the illusion affects the mind , control of the illusion,
Can only be done by praying to you who is immensely strong,
And oh God , I would get rid of all my fears like this. 91.3

Sing your name again and again clapping my hands
Which will melt my mind quickly and some times laugh loudly,

And some other times sing and sometimes jump like a mad man,
And travel away from the routine of the very ordinary people,
Oh God, shower mercy on me to help me do that. 91.5

Due to my mind melting and merging with you , not getting tired,
By the life on earth involving feelings like hunger and thirst,
Always meditating on you and not leaving your feet even for a second,
And understanding that likes and dislikes are created illusions,
I would travel with a pleasant mind without any sorrow or joy,
Due the moon light showered on me by the crescent moons of your toe nails. 91.7

Suppose I have not attained suitability to understand the fact,

That all living things in this world are nothing but you, let me have,
Devotion to you , be friendly with your devotees,
Have mercy on the dim witted, and no enmity towards enemies,
Or at least let my enthusiasm to do worship on the idol of God,
With commitment and great attention, increase for a devotee ,
Like that I would soon get the superior position of your devotee. 91.8

Let me not be troubled by the illusion which hides your real form,
By the mirages like earth, water and air appear before me,
Which pushes beings to sorrow depending on their Karmic load,
Oh God of the universe , Sage Prabudha has told that the only way,
To conquer this illusion is the real and firm devotion to your feet . 91.9

Understanding that Vedas tell us that all actions are to be done,

Without attachment to fruits, Oh God , I completely dedicate ,
All the actions to you and escape from the attachment to them,
And I understand that I should not do anything prohibited by Vedas,
And suppose by chance I am forced to undertake any such prohibited actions,
I would also dedicate them to your very great divine brilliance. 92.1

Oh God, in the mode of worship that is different from that prescribed by Vedas,
I would visualize you in the pretty and purely cent percent Sathva aspect,
Which is agreeable to my mind using stone, mud or in my mind or elsewhere,
And along with the little amount of devotion that I have earned, offer you,
Clean flowers like Thulasi , scented substances like sandal paste and food offerings,
Regularly and through pure worship attain your blessings and grace. 92.2

I sympathize with women and low born who do not get an opportunity,
Of hearing or singing your stories and holy names but I am sad and pained,
About those twice born castes who , in spite of their having reached near your feet,
Are more interested in pleasures of life or sacrifice this great opportunity,
For the sake of earning their livelihood and in spite of being taught by you several times,
Do not care to understand your teachings and I am wondering within myself,
About all that these people can do due to pride coming out of wisdom and high birth.92.3

This great sinner to hide his evil acts shouts loudly “Rama, Krishna”,
So that is heard in all directions and due to his shameless shouting,
I am not able to say several things that I really want to say.
This my brother who has defeatist mentality acts as if he always prays Lord Vishnu,
And these non devotees make fun of your devotees ,
Who have surrendered their mind to you and please do not make me one of them. 92.4

And fortunately we are born in this Kali age and Oh Lord,
Please do not make us get interested in the poison of worldly pleasures. 92.6

Tightly by the rope of worldly pleasures and help me,
Fulfill my desire of serving you always with devotion. 92.7

Once a great king called Pareekshit took his sword,

To kill the hard hearted and cruel Kali but he being wise did not do it,
For in this age regular service to you and being with your devotees ,
Give results immediately but in case of evil acts the results are after long delay,
For this Kali is scared of your devotees and he afflicts them with diseases and poverty,
Even before they start singing about you so that they never do it,
And so Oh God this Kali is really very cruel and so please punish him. 92.8

Oh Lord, due to your mercy I shall renounce the attachments to relatives,

And after surrendering my soul in you , leaving out everything, I will travel,
And I would do both these acts after clearly understanding that world is an illusion,
And it is well known that due to the varied structure of illusion called Maya,
I am differentiating between good and bad and also do acts of assertion and negation,
And to the one who surrenders his intellect in you and have left the concept of problems,
These acts will never happen as it transcends such notions. 93.1

The animals whose only life requirement is to satisfy bodily wants,

Are too many and greatly numerous and man who is special among them,
Has a special intellect and to get to be born as man is indeed very difficult,
And even among these men, some of them become their own enemy or friend,
And friend is one who keeps his devotion in you and find a way out of all pain,
And enemy is the one who is not like that and suffers. 93.2

From the teacher called sky I would learn that even though,
Soul is in every being it should not get tainted by all that. 93.3

Of the difference between soul and non soul and also teaches renunciation,
And to me , my body affected by many diseases teaches wisdom and detachment. 93.8

Alas, alas, Oh Lord of Guruvayur , please drive away my attachment to my body,

For being in love with this body and thinking of home, wealth , wife and children,
All people completely forget your lotus like feet , knowing well that this body,
After death would definitely become that of fire or that of dog, and even now,
When they are alive the these five sense organs drag them here and there,
But never lead them to your lotus like feet. 93.9

But now I find it very difficult to leave this attachment to my body,

Oh God with lotus like eyes, please cure all the afflictions of my body,
And make strong in me, the devotion to your lotus like feet,
And most certainly , do not push this my Brahmin’s body,
Which was got after very many manifold births,
And which would help one get salvation,
In to the very base attraction of trivial worldly pleasures,

Those who are made pure by actions without attachment to their fruits,
And those who have become pure by observing acts of Dharma,
From the teachings of the great Guru , gain knowledge about your form,
Which is very distinct from the body as well as the sense organs,
And which is every where and which is called the supreme Brahmam,
And the fact that properties like stoutness , thinness , diversity and so on,
Which are attributed to you , who is the divine supreme Brahman,
Arise out of the association of yourself with some distinct body,
And is similar to fire being called small , big , bright or dim. 94.1

The greatly shining fire of wisdom produced by churning of the base stick,
Called teacher by the upper fire stick called disciple ,
Burns the misconception that this physical world is real,
And also the delusions caused by past deeds and the body that it creates,
And when there is nothing else is left to be burnt , that fire of wisdom is put out,
And in that state definitely one becomes identical with the divine supreme God. 94.2

Except for the realization of the God , when you become one with it,
There exists no other method whatsoever to remove all sorrows and distress,
For methods such as cure of diseases by chants, the six tactics adopted ,
By kings to deal with their enemies and eight fold concepts of Yoga,
Are not quite effective like this method , and even if some results are realized,
Those who perform them forget you completely due to pride of their achievement ,
And when they reach this baser state ,they would suffer countless sorrows. 94.3

Oh Padmanabha , There are no other worlds which are fear free like Vaikunta,
At the time of deluge even the Brahma gets scared in Sathya loka ,
Due to his being completely engulfed in your divine form, and when this is so,
What would the fate of the householders who do actions devoid of Dharma ,
And have earned in their life endless sufferings and so Oh God,
Who blesses , who is the friend of the oppressed and a sea of mercy,
I request you alone to cut off all my attachments completely. 94.4

Oh Lord , actually I being a part of the divine you , there is nothing,

Called attachment or salvation to me and the feelings to me that exist,
Are but the mirages created by the illusion of your subtle powers,
And are similar to the state of dream and wakefulness,
And it is a fact that the difference between one who is attached ,
498
And one who is detached is only like the difference between these states,
And while the attached one enjoys pleasures sitting on the tree called body,
The detached one who enjoys the ever lasting joy ,
Does not enjoy the fruits called worldly life and so is not attached. 94.5

What is the point of describing that state of the freedom of the soul,
For such a state is far, far away to any one with an unclean mind,
And it is for sure that this state of the mind cannot be attained,
By anything other than devotion to you , and so Oh Lord Vishnu,
Please bless me with staunch devotion to you where,
I surrender everything to you, using which , I would speedily,
Get salvation with minimum teaching from a Guru. 94.6

There are some others who completely believe only in Vedic sayings,
And alas Oh God, they are not understanding , that they are working unnecessarily,
For those who carry those sayings which do not give rise to devotion,
Are like those who are breeding a cow which is barren,
And Oh God , let me not read any of those words that does not mention,
The stories of your pretty incarnations which are divine and capable of destroying sins,
And also describe your form of supreme divine joy. 94.7

And let my mind be engaged in your worship, salutation, prayer,
And singing of your great qualities always. 94.8

Merging to become one with you cannot be easily be obtained by charity,

Fire sacrifice, penance and rituals and the very blessed Gopis, obtained
That great state of bliss by their simple whole hearted devotion to you,
And even though there are many other devotees , you seem,
To give much more importance and recognition to these Gopa maidens,
Hey Krishna, hey Lord of Guruvayur , so please make me your staunch devotee,
And also be kind enough to remove and cure al my diseases. 94.10

Oh God who gave birth to this universe, at the time of the formation of this world,
You were in the body of Hiranya Garbha who is the universal form of all beings,
And later attained the state of living beings with three characteristics,
Due to illusion and kept on increasing till you attained the state of devotion,
And later destroyed the other two qualities by the Sathva aspect and later destroyed,
Even the Sathva aspect and later became the God,
Without any support whatsoever and without any properties. 95.1

Oh God who is everywhere, even when sathva aspect increases, in spite ,

Of the knowledge that attraction to mundane pursuits is not good,
When the Thamas aspect mingled with Rajas aspect increases greatly,
The mind turns to the mundane aspects uncontrollably,
Added to it is the fact that the mind and these aspects are very much related,
And so to prevent them the only way is to have staunch devotion,
To you who is the fourth aspect, and this has been told you in the form of a swan. 95.2

For the people wedded to rituals several means of fulfillment are there,
But Oh Lord Krishna , they lead to trivial joy or that which is temporary,
And you have taught your friend Udhava that the best possible method,
Of attaining you is only through the path of devotion and to the worldly ones,
The joy that they attain when they sing about you is indeed matchless. 95.3

To the one who attains a joyous mind through devotion to you,
There would not by any other desires and he would see only joy everywhere,
Like a world appearing full of water to the one who lies inside the pond,
And that type of devotee does not desire for heaven of Indra,
Sathyaloka of Brahma nor occult powers which makes the mind happy,
And not only that he does not even desire the salvation which comes automatically. 95.4

Due to not being able to control the sense organs , even when momentary pleasures
Attack your devotee due to the repeated attacks of devotion ,
Those pleasures get weakened and would not be able to win over the devotee,
For ,similar to the raging fire completely burning away heaps of firewood,
When the collection of your devotion completely burns away sins,
How long can the false pride of sense organs last? 95.5

How can the mind get pure without melting of the mind ,
504
Thrill of the body, and tears of joy ?
What benefit can one without devotion get by doing penance or acquiring knowledge?
If the divine collyrium of enjoyment got out of knowing your divine stories,
Keeps on cleaning the mind this soul can clearly see the inner truth,
And this inner truth cannot be attained by any amount of reading Shastras. 95.6

I would practice the art of meditating on you by sitting straight on a seat,

Kept on a plane surface and then concentrating my sight on the tips of my nose,

And visualizing Sun, moon and fire above its tip and in the middle of that,
Meditating on your form which is black like a water rich cloud. 95.7

The famous occult powers like Anima and powers like distant hearing,

In my reaching you and I would only wish you full of divine bliss,
And Oh Lord of Guruvayur , Please save me from all my pains. 95.10

You are Garuda among birds , You are Adhi Sesha among the serpents,
And not only that You are river Ganges among the rivers. 96.1

You are the strength of the strong, luster of those lustrous beings,
There is no end to your glorious power, all that excel are you yourself,
You are the Purusha (soul) as well as Nature and in this world,
There is no thing at all which is not you. 96.2

Those who with devotion carry out the Dharma prescribed to different Varnas,
As well as that Of a Brahmachari after completely dedicating their actions to you,
When detachment increases in their mind , leave out such actions,
And realize that they are themselves the divine Brahmam which has the form,
Of existence, consciousness and bliss, which is same in all materials and beings,
And which is the cause as well as not the cause for the entire universe,
And also get the real knowledge of you who is pure and great. 96.3

The three paths of Jnana Yoga, Bhakthi Yoga and Karma yoga are the methods,
Of this world to reach you who is the divine Brahmam, and among the three,
Jnana Yoga is meant for those people who get detachment and dispassion,
But for those who are attached to this world , the method prescribed is Karma Yoga,
But for those who do not have great attachment and also do not have great detachment,
And get devoted to you by the narration of stories of your greatness,
It is well known that the path prescribed for them is Bhakthi Yoga. 96.4

Human beings are easily blessed with knowledge of philosophy,

Or devotion to you depending on the good deeds that they do,
And so Oh God, people who live in heaven or in hell.
Are very desirous of being born as human beings,
For in the human body which is like a ship to cross the life,
509
The souls enter due to their luck , and make their Guru as the captain of the ship,
And you God become the favourable wind and help them cross the sea of life. 96.5

Those who wish to adopt the path of Jnana adopt the study of Upanishads,
And also the meemamsa scriptures search for Brahmam that is invisible,
Which is very difficult and get salvation after passing through several births,
And Karma Yoga stands far , far away from the goal of salvation,
But this Bhakthi yoga is sweet to the mind from very beginning,
And path that leads to you very speedily and oh God,
And let this Bhakthi Yoga flourish within me. 96.6

Sage Vyasa says that an attempt at Jnana yoga without devotion is waste,
But the one who learns about supreme soul from the teacher ,
And attains stead fast devotion to you , gets salvation in his palm,
But due to instability of mind , the accusation that it is difficult to follow,
The path of devotion applies equally to the path of Jnana also ,
And it is relatively easy to master the technique of meditation,
Due to your mercy as well as constant practice by the devotee. 96.7

Oh Lord of the universe , To me who does not have interest ,

In the very difficult process of Yaga but has interest in,
Hearing the stories of your praise and being not capable of,
Sacrificing home , children and also friends due to attachment,
I would concentrate my mind on you with the firm belief,
Again and again , but serving the passions aware that it is bad,
And follow the path of devotion , for if you live in my heart,
All the attraction towards craving of pleasures would die. 96.8

Once there was a Brahmin who when he lost all his hard earned wealth,
Became one with a mind full of the dirt of anger and hatred,
And consequently was shunned by the society at large,
And told like this, “ The reason for my sorrow is not,
Outsiders, time , action or effect of planets like Sun,
But I am sure my mind is the reason for it and that mind does all actions,
Insinuating the capacity of action as well as consumption on the soul,”
And then he became extremely serene and attained you easily,
Oh Lord please also bless me with that type of serenity. 96.9

Once upon a time there was king called Pururuvas who was infatuated,
With a celestial lady called Urvasi and after serving her for a long time,
Attained detachment and concluded that the carnal pleasures are insignificant,
And again and again sang about this conclusion of his and later
Became full, by earning devotion to you and also divinely happy and attained salvation,
And oh Lord of Guruvayur ., please make me detached of minor pleasures,
And also make me your great devotee and alas the problem standing in my way,
In attainment of this are my diseases and so destroy all my illnesses. 96.10

Dasakam 97 The prayer for model devotion and story of Markandeya.
(devotion is explained with a model devotion of sage Markandeya.)

Knowledge, faith , doer , home, action and different types of food,

Fall in to the mixture of three Gunas, Sathwa, Rajas and Thamas,
And so the world consists of different types classified as good, medium and bad,
But in this world , your temple and your prayers and all those concerning you,
Stand based on the property less Brahmam and so depending on that,
Within no time , I shall attain perfection and reach divinity. 97.1

Hey God, Keeping my mind fixed on you and spending this life,
Offering thought words and action as an offering to you,
Going to pilgrimage to those holy places which are worshipped,
By your present day devotees and those who have lived earlier,
Treating a thief, a Brahmin and animals in a equal manner,
Leaving out insults competition, and jealousy from life,
I would worship always you in all beings where ever you exist. 97.2

Till my mind firmly and truly recognizes that a Brahmin and a thief,
Are different forms of yourselves, I would continue worshipping you,
Always as indicated earlier till I get to know that the soul is one entity,
And spend all my life with you only , Oh God , once this Dharma,
Of a devotee is started it will never , ever die out and so,
Oh Lord of the universe , whatever happens please,
Grant me this very interesting path of devotion and bless me. 97.3

To bring to practice this path of devotion that I have been telling,

Oh God, I need health as well as a long life, luckily,
For that all I need to do is to surrender to your lotus like feet,
And wonder of wonders ,this is like drinking milk to cure diseases,
For instance when Marakandeya came to know that according to planets,
His life span would last only for a period of twelve years,
He spent one full year singing your praises with concentration,
And managed to drive away death by the help of your soldiers. 97.4

Markandeya thus gained very long life, and being attracted by incomparable bliss,
He spent six periods of different Manus by concentrating his mind deeply in you,
In the banks of the river Pushpa Bhadra and the seventh king of the devas,
Tried to entice that sage by sending celestial maids, gentle breeze and the God of love,
But since they all wilted in the heat of the great penance of Markandeya ,
He failed miserably and Oh God who ever has so far conquered your devotees? 97.5

When things were like that you who along with your friend Nara,
Very much wanted to see Markandeya and paid a visit to him,
And that Markandeya praised you continuously by several prayers,
But refused any boons from you , though you were prepared to give any boon,
And when you compelled him, he requested you to show him Maya(illusion),
For he being a sage without any desire and mind filled with devotion,
Was not aware of the sorrow caused by Maya and wanted to see it,
Out of his simple curiosity and sense of wonder. 97.6

As soon as you left that place , from the thick clouds shaken and flown fast,
By huge cyclones and storms, rain poured and filled the seven seas,
And the entire earth was covered by floods and Markandeya floated in it,
For billions of years and was troubled by it and saw at a distance you,
As a small baby black in colour, keeping its thumb in his mouth
And lying on a banyan leaf and floating in that water making him greatly surprised. 97.7

That king of sages was thrilled from head to feet on seeing you,
And with a desire to touch you , speedily went near you,
And he was sucked inside you through your inhalation,
And there inside he saw the entire universe,
And later he came out through the process of exhalation,
And fell down and you showered your glance on him,
And that sage who was extremely elated wanted to hug you,
And then you disappeared from there and everything became as before. 97.8

Later Lord Shiva wanted to see your favourite devotee and he came,
Along with Goddess Parvathi and appeared in front of Sage Markandeya,
And he blessed that sage with agelessness and immortality and other powers,
Without the sage asking him and Lord Shiva went back to his place.,
And this proves that even that enemy of God of love can only be pleased,
By serving you and this clearly proves that you are the sacred trinity,
And the one God who controls every body. 97.9

You shine there , in the primeval waters as well in Gokula,
As the form filled up with only sathva trait , having a form,
Which is different from that of Brahmam a mixture of Sath and Chith,
And oh Lord of Guruvayur , please cure all my diseases. 97.10

Your form is not animals, birds, human beings, devas, asuras male or female,
Your form is not wealth, actions, caste , characters, existing and not existing,
So say the people who know you and they say that you are the one who would,
Still remain at the end , when we keep on rejecting things as not yourself,
And you are the one recognized by several sayings of the Upanishads ,
With great difficulty by your definitions as the divine supreme being,
And you shine in that form and my salutations to you. 98.3

As an image reflected in Maya you create the entire universe employing,

Intellect , ego differences, the senses of sound, touch form , taste and smell,
As well the five elements, the eleven sense organs , as projected in a state of dream,
And at the time of deluge like a tortoise drawing its legs within himself ,
Using your soul which has the power of destruction you destroy everything,
By drawing all of them with in you and then you shine as the divine joy,
In the all enveloping terrible darkness but without any relation to the baser qualities,
And My salutations to you , who is having such properties. 98.4

Oh God , According to all people of different and diverse opinions,

You are the primeval sound , the result of all actions and the indivisible atom,

As well as the soul and you carry out the creation by a mere glance,
And Oh Lord Krishna , my salutations to you. 98.5

Existing or non existing or being problematic to decide whether existing or non existing,
Is this rope of ignorance which is assumed and identified as the snake by many,
And this world is similar to that as it appears as existing to all of us,

And this same illusion , under the presence of the tide of the divine mercy,
When we slowly start understanding the implication of Vedic philosophy,
Becomes the great axe of wisdom and helps us to clear the forest of life,
And Oh God who is everything, my salutations to you. 98.6

Who knows the three states of human beings namely waking up , sleep and dream,
Who has taken incarnations in the three ions namely Thretha, Dwapara and Kali,
Who has taken measurement of the three worlds in his Vamana incarnation,
And who does not change in the three periods namely past, present and future. 98.9

Which is ever wakeful , which is not related with anything,

Which is without any second and without any emotions,
Which shines due to the presence of all good qualities,
Which does not have a cause and does not have any emotions,
Which does not have any end , which shines with infinite glory,
Which is innately present in the minds of great sages practicing Samadhi,
And which has incomparable joy within it, which has a shining form. 98.10

Who will narrate the greatness of Lord Vishnu?

Who is there to count the atoms of the entire earth?
With which Vishnu’s feet this earth was measured and was filled with wealth?
Which Maha Vishnu wears all the earth?
This me who is here, should reach the place of Mahavishnu
Which is very great and is very dear to me as your devotees,
Enjoy divine bliss there and there is flow of nectar in that place. 99.1

With the mind and body satisfied with pleasure of senses,
And with interest in rituals like Yaga but with no interest in Vishnu. 99.7

Which is nearly three fourth of the whole shines above the three worlds,

Who was experiencing the thrill of supreme bliss,
As seen by his hair standing erect on all his limbs
Who was surrounded by Narada and other sages,
As well as by a bevy of extremely pretty damsels,. 100.1

May you cool my ears with the nectarine divine music,

Consisting of very sweet and well played melodies,
Which cools the entire world , emanating from,
The holes of the flute held by your two red soft hands,
Which are decorated by the bangles inlaid with precious gems,
And which have acquired a multi coloured hue due to contact of your fingers,
And which is kept very near your lotus like face ,
By the shifting touches of your radiating fingers . 100.5

As well as blossoms over which many bees hover round and round. 100.6

I meditate on you who attracts ever one by the applied fragrances ,

Coming out of the five scented pastes which spreads everywhere,
Who sports a small waist though all the universes are lying there,
Who wears an yellow silk dazzling in its gold colour,
Over which are overlaid the blue sapphire stones,
And who wears the shining gem studded waist belt,
Decorated with tinkling bells emitting brilliant rays of light. 100.7

I sing about your pretty well proportioned shining thighs,

Which are capable of stealing the mind of Lakshmi,
And are always covered by yellow silk , possibly,
Out of fear that the mind of world would get agitated,
And salute your two knees which appear as if ,
They are two pretty caskets , where all the things,
Which can be wished or demanded by your devotees ,
Who salute you are kept stored, and also salute,
Your fleshy well tapered and pretty forelegs. 100.8

I meditate on your anklets which by the sweet noise it produces,

Seems to tell your devotees that singing about your feet would do good,
And the upper part of your feet which are like a tortoise ,
Which lifted the Mandara mountain lifts high,
The minds of the devotees who are getting drowned in illusion,
And also meditate on the auspicious rows of your toes,
Which have a raised middle and shine with light red colour,
And by the light of crescents on them removes,
The darkness of sorrow of your devotees and also does them good. 100.9

Oh God, Oh Lord of Guruvayur , Oh Krishna, Oh ocean of mercy,

Let the soles of your feet which is the sweetest part of your body,
To the great sages, which is the place of those who attained salvation,
Which is the tender sprout of the wish giving tree that showers,
536
The fulfilment of all the wishes and desires of your devotees,
Be firmly kept in my mind so that all my sorrows are destroyed,
And confer on me the flood of prosperity of the Supreme bliss. 100.10

Oh Lord of the universe , please pardon me for writing this stotra,

Without knowing your greatness properly and this prayer,
Having more than one thousand stanzas should be blessed,
by you with all your grace as this which is called Narayaneeyam,
Is both about Narayana as well that which is written by Narayana,
And as Vedas tell that God is one who is known by his incarnation,
This prayer has been well fortified by the stories on incarnation of God,
May kindly grant a healthy pleasant long life. 100.11

II GEM- Poonthanam's Jnappana (Malayalam)
Jnana Pana
By
Poonthanam.
Translated to English verse,

By
P.R.Ramachander
Introduction
Poonthanam was born about four hundred years ago in a village called Angadippuram in Kerala. Near by is the
Thirumandan Kunnu Bagavathy temple which is the family goddess of the Zamorins who ruled over a part of
Kerala now called Malabar.
Poonthanam is not his name but the name of the Namboodiri family he belonged to..His name seems to have
been forgotten in antiquity. At a very young age Poonthanam started visiting the temple at Guruvayoor and
became a staunch devotee of Lord Guruvayurappan-the presiding deity. He got married and had a son. On the
child’s first birthday when a great feast was being arranged the child fell in the boiling rice and died. From then
on Poontanam became a perennial visitor of Guruvayur. Poonthanam did not know Sanskrit and so decided to
express his innate feelings in chaste Malayalam. One of the greatest poets of the time was Melpattur
Narayanan Bhattathippad who later wrote one of the greatest books of that era named ”Narayaneeyam”
Melpattur was also a great devotee of Guruvayurappan. It is told that initially when Poontanam requested help
in editing his poetic work “ Sri Krishna Karnamrutham” from Melpattur he refused saying that he never read
works in Malayalam. Melpathur started suffering from rheumatism immediately and that night the Lord
appeared in his dream and told how the lowly Malayalam works of Poonthanam were more dear to him than
the Sanskrit works of Melpathur. There are several tales of Poontanam the great devotee and his Lord
Guruvayrappan.
Poonthanam was possibly one of the greatest fore runners of Bhakthi cult in Kerala and his greatest work was
Jnana Pana, Loosely it can be translated as “Pot of Knowledge”. But “pana” here is not pot but a style of folk
poem. This is written in a common man’s language and in a common man’s verse. It preaches the greatness of
repetition (singing) of the Holy God’s names. In between Poonthanam wrote about the world he saw and the
world he wanted to see. Some people term it as the “Bhagavad Geetha of Malayalam”
Though written in a simple language , there are many complex statements which are obtrusive. The only
interpretation available is . the “Tatwa deepika” which is written by Sri.K.R.Neelakandan Nambeesan.I have
followed his interpretation in translating the Jnana Pana in to English.I also have given English transliteration
before the translation as well as a brief commentary for each verse after the translation...I dedicate this
translation to Lord Guruvayurappan and request his devotees to pardon any lapses that have occurred in my
539
part.
Guru Nathan thuna cheiga sanththam,

Thiru namangal navin mel eppozhum,
Piriyathe irikkanam nammude,
Nara janmam saphala makkeduvan.
Request I, for the grace from my Guru without fail,

So that Lord’s holy names are always on my tongue,
And continue to be there forever without change,
So that this our, human birth becomes most fruitful. 1
Comment:All great Indian religious work either start with salutations to the teacher or to the God.
Innale yolam enthannu arinjeela,

Ini naleyum enthannu atrinjeela,
Ini kanda thadikku vinasamum,
Inna nearm enatharenjeela.
Till yesterday we did not know it,

Even tomorrow, we may not know it,
The death to this trunk which is the body that we see today,
Know we not when it is . . 2
(We do not know what we were in the last birth,

We do not know what we will be in the next birth,
Even in this birth in this human body,
Know we not when all this is going to end.)*
Comment:The poet brings out the ignorance filled life of the so called intelligent human being in this verse.
Kandu kandangirikkum janangale,

Kandilennu varuthunnathum Bhavan
Randu nalu dinam kodangoruthane,

Thandilethi naduthannathum bhavan
Malika mugalileriya mannante,

Tholil marappu kethunnathum Bhavan
The people who is seen by all of us now ,.

You are the one who makes them
Not to be seen in this world.
In a matter of day or two
540
You are He, who makes them ride on the royal chair.
On the shoulder of the king who climbs to the top of palace.

You are He , who places the tattered heap. 3
Comment: The poet brings out how our life is “God controlled” and how temporary are the happiness and
sorrow that we go through.
Kandal ottariyunnathu chilar,

Athu kandalum thiriya chilarkethume,
Kandathu onnume satyamallennathu,
Mumbe kandariyunnathu chilar.
Some people are able to know when they see,

But others do not know even if they see it.
Some people know that all what we see is not the truth,
For they have seen it earlier and experienced. 4
Comment:The poet tells us that in our capacity to understand the real truth about God and salvation we are
very much different among our selves.
Manu jathiyil thanne pala vidham,

Manasinnu visesha mundennu orkenam
Even in these assembly of man,

Remember there are many special kinds of minds. 5
Comment: He further says that though all human beings are rational, there is difference among themselves.
Palarkku mariyenam ennitallo,

Pala jathi parayunnu sastrangal
With an aim that lot many a people should realize,

Our religious science has made many paths to follow 6
Comment: It is with view to make the various types of people understand that our religion tells us about varying
paths.
Karmathil adhikari janangalkku,

Karma sasthrangal undu pala vidham,
Sankhya sasthrangal yogangal enniva,
Sankhyallathu nilakatte sarvavum.
For those who can choose the path,

Many a paths of action exist,
Like those that make one realize the veil covering the truth,
541
Or the methods of yoga depending on ones own limits,
But of limited use they are all because they are intricate... 7
Comment: But most of these methods are difficult and obtrusive except for the very intelligent human beings.
Chuzhaneedunna samsara chakrathil,

Uzhaneedum namakku aringheeduvan,
Arivulla mahathukal undoru,
Paramarthangal chey thirikkunnu,
Eluthayittu mukthi labhippanai,
Chevi thannethu kelpin ellavarum.
In this rotating wheel of life of births an rebirths,

To teach us who get caught and toil in this wheel,
Those great ones who have realized,
Have showered on us many a truth with grace,
To attain salvation with ease,
And so all of you please listen with care 8
Comment:The poet tells us that easy methods to attain salvation has also been given by our sages.
Namme okkeyum bandhicha sadhanam,

Karmam ennu ariyunnathu mumbinal.
Please know first that the thing which ties us all,

Is the Karma that we have done earlier.
Comment:The poet introduces the theory of past birth’s Karma that results in our present day actions.
Munnamikkanda viswa maseshavum,

Onnayulloru jyothi swaroopamai.
Onnum chennangu thannodu pathathe,
Onnilum chennu thanum valayathe,
Onno nnai ninakkum janangalkku,
Onnu kondariyavunna vasthuvai,
Onnilu murakatha janangalkku,
Onnu kondum thiriyatha vasthuvai,
Onnu pole onnillathe yullathee,
Onnayulloru jeeva swaroopamai,
Ninnavan thanna viswam chamachu pol,
Moonum onnil adangunnu pinneyum.
Each part of all this world that we knew earlier,

Became only one form of an ethereal light during deluge,.
With nothing attaching to it,
With it not attaching to anything,.
And for those seekers who search minutely one by one,
542
It becomes the one thing through which every thing is known.
And for those whose mind flits and wanders,
It becomes something, which is the great unknown.
Similar but dissimilar to each other,
But all together the spirit of the soul.
And it seems was made by God,
Again with all the three worlds as its parts. 9
Comment:The concept of Brhmam-the eternal truth is introduced. It is one thing for those who realized it and
another for who are not able to know it.
Onnu kondu chamachoru viswathil,

Moonayitulla karmangal okkeyum,
Punya karmangal papa karmangalum,
Punya papangal misramam karmavum,
Moonu jathi nirupichu kanumbol,
Moonu kondum thalakkunnu jeevane.
This world which is made by one veil of ignorance,

Has three differing types of actions,
Sins, good deeds and mixture of these,
Which when we think deep,
Ties the soul firmly to this world. 10
Comment:The Concept of Maya, the eternal veil of Hinduism is introduced.How by Maya we are tied to this
world is mentioned.
Ponnin changala onnee paranjadhil,

Onnil irumbu kondathre bedangal,
Randinalu meduthu pani cheythu,
Changala yallo mishramum karmavum.
Chain of gold* we think we are tied,

But it is no different from an iron chain**,
And this chain of Karma that ties us to this world,
Is no different but a mixture of these two. 11
Comment:How rewards , recognition , punishment etc are only illusions has been brought out by the poet.
Brahma vadiyayi chayirumbolum,

Karmabadhanmar ennatharinjalum,
Bhuvanangale srishtikka ennathu,
Bhuvananda pralayam kazhivolam,
Karma pasathe langikkunnathu,
Brahmavinnum eluthalla nirnayam,
Dik palakan marum avvannam orororo,
Dikku thorum thalachu kidakkunnu.
543
Though taking the side of eternal truth,
All are bound to this world by Karma.
For the worlds would continue to be made,
Till the end marked by the deluge.
And to go against these ties of Karma,
Is definitely not easy even for Brahma.
And even those divine eight, who guard the directions,
Are chained strongly in their respective places. 13
Comment: The chain of illusion ties us to this world and the poet tells us that it is difficult to break it even for
Gods and demi Gods,
Alpa karmikalaya namellam,

Alpa kalam kondu ororo janthukkal,
Garbha pathrathil pukkum purapettum,
Karmam kondu kalikkunathengine.
We who have done but little Karma,

In a small span of time,
Enter and leave the wombs of different animals,
And play thus with the karma that we have earned. 14
Comment: The theory of Karma and the cycle of births and rebirths is introduced by the poet
.
Narakangalil kidakkunna jeevan poyi,
Durithangal odungi manassinde,
Paripakavum vannu kramathale,
Nara jathiyil vannu pirannittu,
Sukrutham cheythu mel pottu poyavar,
Swargathil irunnu sukhicheedunnu
.
Those souls who lie in the hell,
After suffering all the punishments there,
And after getting a reformed mind over time,
Are born as Men,
If good deeds are done, they go above,
And enjoy their life in heaven.
15
Comment: The concept of Karma, the concept of punishment in hell and concept of reward in heavens and the
consequent theory of births and rebirths is introduced by the poet.
Sukrithangal okke yodungumbol.

Paripakavam ellola millavar,
Parichodangu irunnittu bhoomiyil,
Jatharayi duritham cheythu chatthavar,
544
Vannora durithathin phalamayi,
Pinne poyi narakangalil veezhunnu.
When all the rewards for good deeds done end,

Those who do not have an iota of reformed mind,
After some time are born in the earth,
And then those dying after doing bad deeds,
Due to the result of them ,
Do go and fall in different hells. 16
Comment: The impermanence of rewards for good deeds is brought out by the poet.
Sura lokathil ninnoru jeevan poyi,

Nara Loke Mahi suranakunnu,
Chanda karmangal cheythavar chakumbol,
Chandala kulathil pirakkunnu,
Asuranmar suranmarayidunnu,
Amaranmar marangalayidunnu,
Ajam chatthu gajamayi pirakkunnu,
Gajam chatthu ajamayeedunnu,
Nari chatthu naranayi pirakkunnu,
Nari chatthu noriyayi pokunnu,
Krupa koodathe peedippichudunna,
Nrupan chathu krumiyayi pirakkunnu,
Echa chatthu poochayayidunnu,
Easwarande vilasangal angine.
A soul from the land of Gods,

Is born as man in this earth,
People who do cruel acts in this birth,
Are born as outcastes in this earth,
The Anti gods are born as demigods,
The deathless ones are born as trees,
The goat dies and is born as elephant,
The elephant becomes a goat after death,
The tiger dies and is born as a man,
A lady dies and is born as a fox,
The king who troubles without mercy,
After death is born as a worm,
The fly dies and becomes a cat,
And all these are but the divine sport. 17
Comment: The concept of rebirth according to rewards earned and punishment given for bad deeds as
different type of beings is brought out by the poet.
Keezhmelangine mandunna jeevanmar,
545
Bhoomiyeenathre nedunnu karmangal,
Seemayillatholam pala karmangal,
Bhoomiyinnathre nedunnu jeevanmar,
Angine cheydu nedi marichudan,
Anya logangal oronnil oronnil,
Chennirunnu bujikkunnu jeevanmar,
Odungeedum adhu ottu nal chellumbol,
Udane vannu nedunnu pinneyum,
Thande thande gruhathingal ninnudan,
Kondu poonna dhanam kondu namellam,
Mathenganum oridathu irunnittu,
Vithu unennu prarayum kanakkine,
These souls who run between the top and the bottom,
It seems do get the Karmas done only in this earth,
And without limits these different Karmas,
Are done by the souls only in this earth,
After doing which after their death,
They go to various worlds of heaven and hell,
And enjoy the rewards for these Karmas,
And those rewards would end before long,
And they come again here and start earning Karmas,
Which is like taking money from ones own house,
And using it in some other place,
Selling what we have till it lasts. 18
Comment: The poet tells here that action can be done only in earth and rewards and punishments for these
actions can be had in other worlds.He tells that this is true even for beings living in other worlds.. Thus the
wealth is here and to get it for spending you have to come here.
Karmangalkku vibhuvayitolloru ,
Janama desamee bhoomi yennarinjalum,
Karma nasam varuthenam engilum,
Chemme mattengum sadhiya nirnayam.
Please know that this our motherland,

Is the land to do Karmas,
And it is definitely impossible,
To destroy the residual karmas any where else. 19
Comment : The poet tells us that though the rewards for the Karma done here is elsewhere, Those Karmas
which do not merit us heaven and do not merit punishment in hell are to be only spent here,
Bakthanmarkkum mumukshu janagalkkum,

Saktharaya vishayee jangalkkum,
Ichicheedunnathokke kodutheedum,
Viswa mathavu bhoomi siva! Siva!
546
To the devotees great,
To those who seek salvation,
And to those who pine for ordinary things,
This mother land of ours,
Would grant whatever they want, God, Oh God. 20
Comment: The poet tells here that in no other world can Karmas be done and an ordinary man can transform
himself in to great souls.
Viswanathante moola prakrithi than,

Prathyakshena vilangunnu bhoomiyayi,
The innate qualities of our Lord of the world,

Obviously thrives as this world. 21
Comment: In this the poet feels that this our earth is God Himself.
Avani thala paalanithinallo ,

Avatharangalim palathorkkumbol,
Athu kondu viseshichum Bhoolokam,
Pathinallilum uthamam ennallo,
Veda vadhikalaya munikalum,
Vedavum bahumamichhu chollunnu.
To save and upkeep this earth of ours,

Incarnations took place it seems,
And because of this the earth specially,
Is greatest among the fourteen worlds,
So tell those who are experts in Vedas,
And so praise the Vedas about this earth. 22
Comment: Since all incarnations are for protection of this our earth, The poet says that it is the greatest among
fourteen worlds.
Lavanambhdhi madhye vilangunna,

Jabhu dweeporu yojana lakshavum,
Saptha dweepukal adhil undethrayum,
Uttamamennu vazhthunnu pinneyum.
In the huge sea of salt,

Exists the Jambu islands,
Ten lakh miles long,
Within it are the seven islands,
Praised by scriptures as most holy. 23
Comment: From this verse the poet describes the earth.It is supposed to be divided in to seven islands and our
country is in an island called Jambu Island,
547
Bhoo padmathinnu karnigayayittu,
Bhoo darendran adil allo nilkunnu,
Idhil ombadhu gandangal undallo,
Adil uttamam bharatha bhoo thalam.
In the peak and center of the lotus of this earth,

Stands the mountain of Maha Meru,
And there are nine major parts of this earth,
And the most sacred is the Bharatha country. 24
Comment: This island has in its center the Maha Meru mountain and has 9 countries including our mother
land, the Bharatha country.
Sammatharaya mamunigal,
Karma kshetramennallo parayunnu.
The great recognized sages,

Tell this as the temple of sacred duty. 25
Comment: The poet says that the sages call our motherland as Karma Bhumi.
Karma bheejam adeennu mulakkendu,

Brhama lokathil irikkunnavargalkkum,
Karma bheejam varatti kalanjudan,
Janma nasam varuthanamengilum,
Bharathamaya ganda mozhinjhulla,
Parillengum eluthala nirnayam.
The source of all Karma is this land,

Even for those great souls in Brahma Loka,
And it is here only that Karma is destroyed.
If one desires salvation,
And though it is for sure that these can’t easily be done,
Anywhere else other than in Bharatha Ganda. 26
Comment: The poet talks about the superiority of our land.
Athra mukhya mayulloru Bharatha

Mi pradesamennu orkkanam,
Yugam nalilum nalla kali yugam,
Sugame thane mukthi varuthuvan.
Please do remember that this land of Bharatha,

Is the most sacred land known,
And in the vast time periods this Kali time period,
548
Leads to salvation most easily. 27
Comment: From the creation of earth to the grand deluge, the Hindus have divided the time in to four large
time periods(Yugas). The last of these is Kali. Though more suffering is there in this time period , just by
repeating the name of the Lord it is possible to attain salvation only in this time period.And so it is great.
Krishna , Krishna, Mukunda, Janardhana,

Krishna ,Govinda , Rama ennin gene,
Thiru nama sankeerthanam enniye,
Mattedumilla yathnam ennaarinjalum.
Please know that there is no effort,

Except singing for the holy names,
Krishna, Krishna, Mukunda Janardhana,
Krishna, Govinda and Rama. 28
Comment:The poet tells that no other effort is needed during this kali time than calling holy names of our Lord.
Athu chindhichu mattulla lokangal,

Mattu gandangal ettil ullorum,

Mukthi thangalkku sadhyam allaygayal,
Kali kalathe ,Bharatha Gandathe,
Kalithadaram kai vanangeedunnu.
Thinking about this,

Those living in the other thirteen worlds,
Those living in the six other islands,
Those living in the other eight countries,
And those living in the other three time periods,
Realizing that they would not get salvation easily.
With folded hands do salutations,
To the Country of Bhratha and the time period of Kali. 29
Comment: Because of this all other beings who do not live in Kali time period in our country, salute the beings
who live here in this time period.
Athil vannoru pullayittengilum,

Ithu kalam janichu kondeeduvan,
Yogyatha varutheeduvan thakkoru,
Bagyam porathe poyallo deyvame,
Bharatha gandathil pironnuru,
Manusharkkum kalikkum namaskaram.
To be at least a grass in that country,
549
And be born now in this time period ,
We were not lucky enough oh,God,
And so our salutations to the men,
Of Bharatha country and Kali time period. 30
Comment: They repent that they are not lucky enough to be born at least as a grass here in this time period so
that eventually they can very easily attain salvation.
Ennellam pukazhtheedunnu mattullor,

Ennathu endinnu nam paranjeedunnu?
Kalaminnu kali yuga malayo,
Bharatha mi pradeshavum allayo,
Nammalellam naranmarum allayo?
Chemme nannayi nirupippin ellorum,
Hari namangal illathe pogayo,
Narakangalil pedi kuragayo,
Navu koodahe janama mathagayo,
Kashtam! Kashtam! Niroopanam koodathe,
Chuttu thinnunnu janmam pazhuthe nam.
Why do we tell that,

All those who are not here, sing our praise thus?
Is not this the time period Kali,
Are we not living in the country of Bharatha,
And are we not born as human beings?
All of you please think about this,
Should we go without the names of Hari,
Should we be less afraid of going to hell,
Should we live without a tongue?
Alas! Alas ! without proper thought,
We destroy our lives in vain. 31
Comment: The poet laments that we who are men born in the Bharatha country in the age of Kali are wasting
our lives.
Ethra janama prayasa pettittu ikkala,

Mathra vannu pirannu sukruthathal,
Ethra janama malathil kazhinjadum,
Ethra janmama jalathil kazhijadum,
Ethra janama mannil kazhinjadum,
Ethra janmam marangalayi ninnadum,
Ethra janamam marichu nadannathum,
Ethra janmam parannu nadannathum,
Ethra janama mrigangal pasukkalayi,
Marthya janmathil mumbe kazhichu nam.
550
What an effort we put to be born now,
Because of the good deeds that we did?
Many lives have we spent in shit,
Many lives have we spent in water,
Many lives have we spend in mud,
Many lives have we spent as trees,
Many lives have we moved around afraid of death,
Many lives have we spent as birds,
And many lives have we spent as beasts and cow,
Before we were born as men. 32
Comment: To get this reward we all must have spent lots of time as other beings.
Ethrayum pani pettu ingu maathavin ,

Garbha pathrathil veenathu arinjalum,
Pathu masam vayattil kazhinju poyi,
Patthu pantherandu unni yayittum poyi,
Thanne than abhimanichu pinnedam,
Thanne than ariyathe kazhiyunnu.
Please know that it is with lots of effort,

That we fall in the womb of our mother,
Spend we ten months in her stomach.
Ten to twelve years we spend as playfull kids,
And after this, thinking that we only do everything,
We spend our time without knowing ourselves. 33
Comment: Most part of the initial life is wasted in the womb and as children. And it is crime to waste it further.
Ithra kalam irikkum mini yennum,

Sathyamo namakkedu millallo.
There is nothing truthfully known,

As to how long we will live. 34
Comment: The poet tells us how unsure we are about our span of life.
Neerpole pole yulloru dehathil,

Veerpu mathramundingane kannunu,
Orthariyathe padu padunneram,
Nerthu pokum athenne parayavu,
Athramathra mirikunna nerathu,
Keerthicheedunnilla thiru namam.
In the body which is like a water bubble,

We see it filled up always,
551
And when we put efforts without thought,
We can tell that this bubble will only burst.
In this very limited time,
We do not sing the holy names. 35
Comment: He is sad that we waste this temporary , unsure life of ours without singing the holy names of God.

Boasting about their positions and posts,

Some people walk in the world ever ashamed,
Thinking about their abilities and disabilities of others,

Some people walk in the world with a diseased brain,
Entering the houses of pretty damsels with flitting eyes.,

Some people walk in the world like the circus monkey,
Employed by the king and the government,

Some people walk in the world heavily made up,
Employed for worshipping Gods,
552
Some people walk in the world with thoughts of their time after dusk,
For mother and for father and wives,

There are some who do not care to look after,
The wife married with fire as witness,

Is not even seen in dream by some,
When good people think and advise,

There are some who look them as enemies,
When people worthy of salutations are seen,

There are some who berate and curse them,
This world stands thus,

Boast some people because of their talk
Raising and raising by the acts of Brahmana,

Some people claim they are better than Lord Brahma,
To earn money and get titles,

Some people do yagas in the fire,
And some people sell gold and jewels .

To earn money without limit. 36
Comment: The poet details how we are wasting the God given gift by not doing what we should do.
Mathebam kondu kachavadam cheythum,

Uthama thuragangal athukondum,
Athrayu malle kappal veppichittu,
Ethra nedunni thartham Siva! Siva!
Vrithyum kettu doortharayi eppozhum,
Arthathe kodichu ethra nasikkunnu,
Artha methra valare undayalum,
Trupthi vara manassinnu oru kalam.
Using elephants for trade,

Using thorough bred horses,
And not only that by use of ships,
How much money is earned Alas! Alas!
Disregarding the family jobs and becoming boors and rascals,
How much we destroy ourselves with avarice for money,
Never will we get satiated,
By earning more and more money. 37
Comment: The mindless chasing of money disregarding our duties of men is focused in this stanza by the
553
poet.
Pathu kittugil nooru mathiyennum,

Sathamagil sahasram mathi yennum,
Ayiram panam kayyilungumbol,
Ayuthamagil ascharyam ennathum,
Asayayulla pasamathingennu,
Ver vidathe karerunnu melkku mel.
When we get ten , we say hundred is sufficient,

When we get hundred we say thousand is sufficient,
When we save thousand coins,
We say more will be wonderful,
And like this the rope of desire,
Without roots reaches more and more heights. 38
Comment: This chase the poet is an endless and perennial one writes the poet.
Sathukkal chennu irannal aa arthathil,

Swalpam mathram kodaa chila dushtanmar,
When pious people beg for doing good deeds,

Some bad people will not even give a little. 39
Comment: Even this money earned will not be spared for good causes.
Chatthu ponneram vastram athu polum,

Othida kondu pokan orutharkkum.
At the time of death, even the cloths that they wear,

Cannot be taken with them by any one. 40
Comment: The poet points out that at death this result of our efforts does us no good.
Paschathapam moru ellolamillathe,

Viswasa pathakathe karuthunnu,
Vitthathil aasa pattruka hethuvayi,
Sathyathe tyajikkunnu chilar aho!
Without feeling an iota of remorse,

They consider deceiving of those who trust,
Because of the attachment for money,
Alas! Some people even forget the truth. 41
Comment:Nothing seems greater than money earned and for preserving any action including forsaking of truth
is OK.
554
Sathyamennathu brahmam thanne,
Satyamennu karuthunnu sathukkal.
Since truth is Brahmam definitely,

The learned consider this as the only truth. 42
Comment: Compare the modern saying “Truth is God”
Vidhya kondu ariyendathu ariyathe,

Vidwan ennu nadikkunnathu chilar,
Kumkumathinde vasamariyathe,
Kukumam chummakkum pole gardhabham.
Gaining knowledge and not knowing what should be known,

Some people act as if they are learned ones,
It is like the donkey carrying Kumkumam*,
Without even knowing the smell of it. 43
Comment : Even knowledge gained seems to be without purpose.The learned ones we see many times are
but actors.
Krishna! Krishna! Niroopichu kanumbol,

Trishna kondu bramikkunathu ithokkeyum.
Krishna! Krishna! When we think about it,

People get always wonderstruck with avarice. 44
Comment: When we really muse about it, it seems it is purposeless avarice.
Enni enni kuruyannithayussum,

Mandi mandi karerunnun mohavaum,
Vannu onam, Kazhinju Vishu vennum,
Vannillalo Thiruvadira yennnum,
Kumba masithilagunnu nammude,
Janma nakshatram aswathy naaleenum,
Sraddham mundaho Vrischiga masathil,
Sadhya yonnum meluthalla iniyennum,
Unni yundayi velpicchathinnoru,
Unni yunadai kandavu jnanennum,
Konikkal thane vanna nilam ini,
Kanam mennum ozhipikkaruthennum.
Slowly and slowly, reduces this span of life,

And with speed and more speed climb our desire,
The Onam has come and the Vishu is over,
And the Thiruvadira has not come,
555
And our birthday falls,
On Aswini in the month of February-march,
And there is death anniversary in the month of October-november,
It is not easy to hold feasts from now on,
After the marriage of our son,
We would like to see a son born to him,
In the land which came under our control,
We should not stop receiving the rent. 45
Comment: The poet clearly brings out the net of desires that ties us to this world.
Iththam oronnu chindichirikkave

Chathu pokunnu pavam Shiva ! Shiva!
When thinking like this and that,

Alas some people die and go. 46
Comment:With these unfulfilled perennial desires some people die.
Enthinnithra paranju viseshichum,

Chindi chheeduvin avaolam ellorum,

Vannu koodum purushartham ennathum,
Iniyulla naraka bhayangalum,
Innu vendum niroopanam okkeyum.
Why was all these special things told,

All of you think as much as possible,
About the largeness of Karma done,
About how we have taken many births already,
About how the present is the Kali time period,
About the largeness of the country of Bharatha,
About how all these days we were born there,
About how all the past period was spent without meaning,
About how we do not have much life span left,
About how we were healthy all along,
And how by singing of holy names of God,
All fortunes would come about,
About how the fear of future hell,
556
Has to be thought about today.. 47
Comment: Instead the poet requests us to think of getting salvation easily by singing the holy names of God.
Endinnu vridha kalam kalayunnu,

Vaikunda thinnu poykolvin ellorum.
Why are you wasting time unnecessarily,

All of you please go to Vaikunta*. 48
Comment: Instead of wasting time in useless pursuits, the poet requests us to do things that will take us to
heaven.
Koodiyalla pirakkunna nerathum,

Koodiyalla marikkunna nerathum,
Madhye ingane kanunna nerathu,
Matsarikku nnathu enthinnu vridha?
We were not born together,

Nor are we going to die together,
In between when we meet each other,
Why should we compete with each other unnecessarily? 49
Comment: This useless competition among ourselves with absoulutely no need is to be avaoided.
Arthamo purushartham irikkave,

Arthathinnu kodhikkunnathu endu nam,
Madhyannam arka prakasam irikkave,
Khadyodayatheyo manicchu kollendu?
When we should really long for salvation,

Why de we e madly pursue the gain of wealth,
When the sun shines bright in the noon,
Should we long for the fire fly? 50
Comment: The chase for wealth instead of salvation appears to be like a chase for the fire fly when there is
Sun.
Unni Krishnan manassil kalikkumbol,

When the little babe Krishna is playing in the mind,

Do we need other babies as our sons,
WE do have large bevy of friends Shiva Shiva,
For are there not devotees of Vishnu in this world. 51
557
Comment:Poonthanam lost his babe in a tragically and does not have any body to depend on.He feels when
Lord Guruvayurappan is there, where is the need for a child and when devotees of Vishnu are there where is
the need for relatives,
Maya kattum vilasangal kanumbol,

Jaya kattum vilasangal goshtigal,
When we see the attractive play of this enchanting veil,

The play of love of our wife is but a child’s play. 52
Comment:Maya the veil shows us unwanted things as enchanting.
Bhuvanathile bhoothigal okkeyum,

Bhavanam namukkayi idhu thane,
All the wealth in this world,

Is this house of earth for us. 53
Comment: The poet says the whole world is our wealth.
Viswanathan pithavu namukkellam,

Viswa dathri chara chara mathavum,
Achanum punar ammyum undallo,
Rakshicheeduvanulla nal okkeyum.
Lord Viswanatha is our father,

And the mother of us all is this moving whole earth,
We have thus both the father and mother,
And these parents would look after us for ever. 54
Comment: Gods are our parents and they will look after us.
Bikshannam nalloru annam undallo,

Bakshicheeduka thane paniyullu.
We have good food as alms,

And only eating remains to be done. 55
Comment:For the devoteethe very little that he gets as alms is sufecient.

Paril angine sancharicheedumbol,
Prarabdhangal asesham ozhinjeedum.
Always without attachment and always,

With extreme devotion we should chant the names of God
Till the life span allotted to us is over,
And like this all of us should live.
We should praise all the beings that we see,
Leaving the sense of shame.
Filled with tears of joy,
And leaving out insults heaped,
We should fall at the feet,
When we see holy people around.
And then drowning in the sense of devotion,
Like a drunkard we should dance.
If we travel in this world thus,
All problems would run away from us. 56
Comment:The ecstasic state of Bhakthi and how it solves all problems is well brought out in this verse.
Vidhichhedunna karmam odungumbol,

Padhicheedunnu deham oridathu,
Kodicheedunnu brhmathe kandittu,
Kudhicheedunnu jeevanum appazhe.
When the Karma as per fate is over,

The body falls in one place,
And Seeing the Brhmam which was ever longed for,
Immediately the soul jumps towards it. 57
Comment:After death the body remains here and the soul longs for salvation.

Janma saphalyam appozhe vannu poyi,
Brhama sayujyam kitteedum ennallo,
Sridharacharyar thanidhu paranju ithu,
Badarayanan thanum arul cheydu,
When wandering after desires have left,

Thinking that we are not yet ready for salvation,
Please do not develop self pity,
And hear the greatness of God’s holy name.
Even if one belongs to the lowest caste,
Or a learned higher caste who is expert in Vedas,
Except those who are born without tongue,
And who are made dumb by nature,
Out of the uncountable holy names of God,
At least one, once in any one day,
At least when are happy and contended,
Or at least in dreams without our control,
Or at least teasing Him as some other,
Or at least for the sake of some one else,
Wherever we are,
If we tell with our tongue,
Or atleast if else,
Hear the name with our ear,
We will get salvation then and there,
And would become one with God,
And so say Sreedhara* the great scholar,
And sage Vyasa** who wrote the puranas. 59
Comment:This is the conclusion.Without care in ecstacy if we sing the name of God or hear it, whatever
circumstance it may be , we would get salvation.
Geethayum paranjeedunnatangine,
Vedavum bahumanichu chollunnu,
Even Bagavad Geetha says the same,

And also so say the Vedas with respect. 60
Amodam poondu cholluvin namangal,

Anandam poondu brahmathil cheruvan.
560
So sing God’s holy names easily
And with joy become one with God. 61
Mathi undengil okke mathiyidhu,

Thiru namathin mahathmyam mamithu,
Pizhayagilum pizha kedannagilum,
Thiru ullamarulga bagavane!
For those aiming at salvation this book is sufficient,

For it sings about greatness of God’s holy names.
With errors or without errors.
Please grant me your grace , Oh my God! 62
Comment: The poet concludes and feels that he has done what he wanted and requests excuses for any
errors.

III GEM-Bhasha Karnamrutham of Poonthanam (Malayalam)
Bhasha Karnamrutham
(The nectar of ears in common language)
By
Poonthanam
Translated by
P.R. Ramachander
(Poonthanam was born in the year 1547 in a village called Kezhatur near Angadipuram town in the
Malappuram, district of Kerala. He was a great devotee of Guruvaurappan and is the celebrated author of a
book called Jnanapana (see my translation in http://stotraratna.sathyasaibababrotherhood.org/o3.htm
He lived up to the ripe old age of 93. Once when the old Poonthanam was insulted by the workers of the
temple in Guruvayur, it seems Guruvayrappan told him that he himself would come to the place of
Poonthanam and live there.The lord is supposed to be in the temple of Lord Krishna called “idathupuram “
meaning “left side “and in Sanskrit “Vamapuram” . Possibly attracted by the very famous Sanskrit work
called Sri Krishna Karnamrutham of Leela Sukha , Poonthanam might have decided to call it “Bhasha
Karnamrutham” . In the 167th stanza of this great work he says
“By your well decorated and coloured form , you made the entire earth get attracted to you,
Oh God , Oh God, the world is also surrounded by desire and great anger ,
And if my “Bhasha Karnamrutham” is always enjoyed by the toungue
Then like olden times no one need not creep under the load of the tendrils of Karma forever.”
Unlike the work of Sri Krishna Karnamrutham which are poems drenched with devotion addressed to
Lord Krishna , this BHasha Karnamrutham relates the story of Lord Krishna from his birth to the famous
incident of Lord Krishna helping Arjuna to get back the dead son of a Brahmin. (Mostly from Dasama
Skanda of Bhagwatham.Possibly he got this idea from the famous Narayaneeyam relating the story of Lord
Vishnu.) These are narrated in the first 113 stanzas. The portion from 114th to the 169th stanza emphasizes
the need for chanting the name “Narayana” and also relates the philosophy of Poonthanam.
562
Poonthanam states in the work that his Guru was one Neelakanda and that this was edited and corrected
by one Sri Soolapani.
By the blessings of the dust of the feet of Neelakanda(Author’s Guru) ,
I went on narrating the plays of Lord Krishna somehow,
Oh Mukunda , Victory to Lord of Vamapura ,
Please grant me devotion to your divine feet. (117)
Soolapani put in lot of efforts,
To systematized and edited it ,
Put in lot of efforts to make it great ,
My “honey to the ears “ written in local language ,
And please become happy at the feet of Achyutha.(118)
Poonthanam also states that this work has been written when he was nearing the age on ninty.
Oh sea of mercy , I was for a long time longing,
To see the toys with which Lord Krishna played,
Counting and counting the singing of your names,
Ninety years have almost passed by. (148)
To the best of my knowledge no effort has been made to translate this great work of devotion to Lord
Krishna in to English.Because of that even very great devotees of Krishna and organizations like ISKON do
not anything about this great book. , There is no discussion about this book in the web also. I think my
elementary effort would bring it to the attention of great Krishna Bhakthas outside Kerala,.
I would like to dedicate this translation to sri P.V.V.Raghavan (Puducode Venkateswaran

Veeraraghavan) who happens to be my co brother .Sri Veeraraghavan (Popularly known as Veeramani of
Thekke Gramam of Puthucode) is above 90 and lives in Mumbai with his sons. He goes in to raptures even
today while singing prayer songs written in Malayalam. He remembers by rote most of these songs and it
is from him that I developed interest in Malayalam prayer songs addressed to Lord Guruvayurappan.)
563
1.Karnamrutham Vamapuradhi vasin,
Ninnal matham kinchana bhashayai jnan,
Yennal varum vannam udhara keerthe,
Chonnal athum preenanai varum
Oh lord of Vamapura, this nectar to your ears,
Has been composed by me according to your wish,
To the best of my ability, Oh Lord with great fame.
And it should make you happy if recited.
2.AAkkam pondu Ashtami Rohini oruma kalarnnoru naal ardha Rathrou,
Chol kollum Chinga mase muzhu mathiyum udhikkunna mukhye muhurthe,
Trikkayyil Shanku chakrambuuja Gadakal darichoru Bala Swaroopam,
Thakkathil devakikkum kanavanum anaye darsitham kai thozhunnen.
On a holy day when Ashtami and Rohini were mixed , at mid night,
In the very good month of Chingam , in the time when the moon rises to the full,
A form of a baby holding in his hands conch, wheel, lotus flower and mace ,
Was made to be seen by Devaki as well as her husband, My salutations.
3.Achande hastha padmathinnu Madhu karamai niinu povaan mudhirnnu,
THalkkale mushku thedeedinna , kanaka kavadangal thane thurannu,
Chakreesan chathram aarnnu nira puzhayum uzathode neer vaangi ninnu,
Chikkennu ambadi chernnu, janakanavide akkanyaye kondu ponnu.
He immediately started to stand from there like a bee in the lotus hands of his father ,
And immediately those proud golden doors which were imprisoning them opened by themselves,
The Lord of all snakes became an umbrella , the waters of the river receded and stood there,
564
And they reached the place of cattle herds soon and his father brought a girl from there.
4.Atham koodathe kouthoohala paravasanai , nandha gopan thadanee,
Yetham dhanangalum cheythu udan athi mahitham Jatha karmam kazhichaan,
Chuthi khandichu thoppil kodi thiru udarathandu bangya kidannor,
Yethillathu unniye kandavar avar amruthanandam aaraadinar pol.
Then Nandagopa attained limitless happiness,
And gave in charity large wealth and also completed the ritual of Jatha Karma,
And then they cut the umbilical chord which was lying twisted on his belly,
And whosever were lucky to see the baby were drowned in the nectar like joy.
5.Dushtayakkapoothanakkum chuzhal valiya kodumkathinnum chattinnum nee ,
Kattakkavai kidakkum pozhuthu gathi varuthedinan asramena,
Thushtyaa poi chennu gargan thiruvadi thirunamangal ittoru sesham,
Pushtyaa mevidum ambadiyil anu divas am jyeshtanodu valarnaan.
When you were lying as a little baby without any difficulty whatsoever ,
You killed the very bad Poothana as well as the Rakshasa ,
Who came as a cyclone and also as a cart and later ,
With happiness after the sage Garga gave you a name ,
You happily grew up progressively in the cow herd village along with your brother.
6.Yeandhunna kaa rana jalathillorunniyai poi,
Neenthiduvaan kazhivarathavan annu polum,
Nandande kottil nadumutham mivathilellam,
Neenthi thudangiya kidavinu kai thozhunnen.
565
As a little baby in the water meant for creation,
It seems he(lord Vishnu) was not able to swim .
And my salutations to him who but as a little baby ,
Started swimming in the water filled courtyard of Nanda.
7.Achan chennu achyuthande thiru mukha kamalam kandu kondadum appol,
Achande hastha padmathil, oru adisaya sammanam ichanukoolam,
Kacholum vaani visweswara janani mudhaa kai valarthal Yasodha ,
Viswasathode nalgee varamathilum oru ammanam ammakku vayya.
When your father went and started to fondle the lotus face of yours,
With great willingness you gave a gift to the lotus like hand of your father ,
And at that time Yasoda , who was the mother of the god of earth ,
Extended her hand with happiness with great hope ,
And oh lord you gave her also a boon .
8.Chanjeridunna picha kali kavinnu kidannu omana kai uyarthittu,
Anjum vevvere trikkai viralugal malare thottu kittanjumappol,
Kunji poomeimarinju ammalarum alavilum punjiri then chorinjum,
Kunjikkai randumai kattina bhuvana pathe , ninne jnan kai thozhunnen.
Like all babies playing and trying to get up , you lay down and lifted your very dear hands,

169.Peethambara prollasitha Akhilesam,
Hemangadhjol bhasithas bahu dandam,
Somambuja sri Vadhanara vindham,
Vamalayastham Bhaja Vasudevam.
He who is shining wearing an yellow silk,
With golden armlets decorating his wrist,
Whose face is like the moon as well as lotus,
Is The Lord of Vamapura And I salute that Vasudeva.
