Wife and children, friends and relatives, have no love save for what they see you have. The Lord who swallowed the eight Quarters, Heaven, Hell and all else, is our only road to freedom, his worship alone is proper
thuNaiyum sArvum AguvAr pOl * sutRaththavar piRarum *

Friends and relatives gives you their time, but sup your wealth like leeches till it lasts. Seek the prince who shot an arrow through seven trees, he is an oasis of freedom. Other than him there is no way, this is certain

Seeing you walk in affluence, they will come forward to wish you. Seeing you in poverty, not one will ask what happened. The Lord was born in Mathura to destroy wicked Asura, Love and serve him other than him there is really no refuge

Those who are placed as trustees of your wealth, will behave like petty moneylenders in bad days, -what use, need we dilate on this? The only wisdom there is lies in praising the Lord of Mathura, He is our hope and refuge
sadhuram enRu thammaith thAmE * sammadhiththu inmozhiyAr *

Those who enjoyed sweet union with pampered parrot-like- dames will also experience something else later, The Lord of Mathura destroyed many frightening Asuras, So wait on for his servitude, that is the only joy there is

There is no joy, that is certain, Alas, not realising this, how many men have come and passed away in vain since yore! In short, praise the Lord who took birth in the ancient Mathura city, other than this there is nothing
matRonRillai surungkach sonnOm * mAnilaththu evvuyirkkum *

There is nothing else, I have said so, have no doubt. For all beings on Earth, even thinking of him will do, Alas! At least in bearing his names there is nothing wrong. So recite the names of the perfect cowherd-lad of Mathura
vAzhdhal kaNdIr guNam idhandhO? * mAyavan adiparavi *

A life time spent in worshipping the feet of Krishna is good. Alas, there could be nothing greater than singing his praise. The Lord was born in Northern Mathura city to protect us pure-hearted devotees, who desire him alone
yAdhumillai mikkadhanil * enRenRu adhu karudhi *

Those who pursue limited ends as if the infinite is not, -they only waste away their lives, alas! –like widening their ear-bore and losing their ear ring! So take refuge in the pennon-mansioned Mathura city's Lord
kaNNan allAl illai kaNdIr * charaN adhu niRka vandhu *

There is no refuge other than Krishna, "It is certain, to prove it he took birth in Mathura and rid the world of its burden. If you consider anything as yours. Sacrifice it to him. Have no doubt, devotees, all is by his grace
* Adhumillai matRavanil * enRadhuvE thuNindhu *

This decad of the faultless thousand songs by kurugur Satakopan who took refuge of the feet of garland –chested Krishna, -those who can sing it will be our eternal masters!
