The peerless Lord protector of the seven worlds in a thousand ways, has a thousand names. The Lord of dark rain-cloud hue, he is our own Lord Narayana

avanE agalnjAlam * padaiththidandhAn *
avanE aqdhu uNdumizhndhAn * aLandhAn **
avanE avanum * avanum avanum *
avanE matRellAmum * aRindhanamE 2

He made the wide Earth and lifted it. He swallowed it, remade it and measured it, The 'he' Brahma, the 'he', Indra and the 'he', Siva, are also him. He is all else too, we know this

aRindhana vEdha * arumporuL nUlgaL *
aRindhana koLga * arumporuL Adhal **
aRindhanar ellAm * ariyai vaNangki *
aRindhanar * nOygaL aRukkum marundhE 3

The Vedic texts have revealed Hari as the substance of consciousness. O Thinking men, worship him as the cure for all ills

marundhE nangkaL * bOga magizhchchikku enRu *
perundhEvar kuzhAngkaL * pidhatRum pirAn **
karundhEvan emmAn * kaNNan viNNulagam *

Extolled by hordes of celestials as the Soma of their bliss, the dark Krishna is our liberation, Note, O Heart, so never leave him

manamE! unnai * valvinaiyEn irandhu *
kanamE sollinEn * idhu sOrEl kaNdAy **
punam mEviya * pUnthaNthuzhAy alangkal *
inamEdhum ilAnai * adaivadhumE 5

The Lord of fragrant Tulasi garland is one without a second, experience him, I beg of you, O Heart, pray take heed; Never let him leave you

adaivadhum aNiyAr * malarmangkai thOL *
midaivadhum * asurarkku vempOrgaLE **
kadaivadhum * kadaluL amudham * en manam
udaivadhum * avaRkE orungkAgavE 6

Joy is the lotus-dame's embrace, hard is the constant war with Asura. Churning is the Ocean's ambrosia. Breaking is my hart united with him

Agam sEr * narasingkam adhAgi * Or
Agam vaLLugirAl * piLandhAnuRai **
mAga vaikundham * kANbadhaRku * en manam
Egam eNNum * irAppagal inRiyE 7

My heart hankers night and day for one Vision of Vaikunta where the Lord dwells. He tore the wide chest of the Asura with his nails

inRip pOga * iruvinaiyum keduththu *
onRi Akkai pugAmai * uyyak koLvAn **
ninRa vEngkadam * nILnilaththu uLLadhu *
senRu dhEvargaL * kaithozhuvArgaLE 8

Destroying pairs of opposites, he gives liberation from rebirth; he resides in Venkatam where gods worship him

thozhudhu mAmalar * nIr sudar dhUpam koNdu *
ezhudhum ennum idhu * migaiyAdhalil **
pazhudhil tholpugazhp * pAmbaNaip paLLiyAy! *
thazhuvumARu aRiyEn * una thALgaLE 9

O Lord of glory on serpent couch! Worshipping you with flowers, water, lamp and incense is superfluous. Alas, I know not how to serve you feet

thALa thAmaraiyAn * unadhundhiyAn *
vALkoL nILmazhuvALi * unnAgaththAn **
ALarAyth thozhuvArum * amarargaL *
nALum en pugazhgO * una sIlamE? 10

Brahma sits on your lotus-navel. Siva occupies your right side, Celestials stand around you and worship. Can I ever praise you fully?

* sIlam ellaiyilAn * adi mEl * aNi
kOla nIL * kurugUrch satakOpan ** sol
mAlai AyiraththuL * ivai paththinin
pAlar * vaikuntham ERudhal pAnmaiyE 11

This decad of the thousand songs by fair kurugur's Satakopan on the Lord of great virtues will secure high Vaikunta

adivaravu: Or avanE aRindhana marundhE manam adai Agam inRi
thozhudhu thAL sIlam mai
