Clouds in the sky played horns like heralds, waves in the ocean clapped and danced. The seven continents stood with gifts, to see the devotee of eternally-praised Narayana homeward-bound

pUraNa poRkudam * pUriththadhu uyar viNNil **
nIraNi kadalgaL * ninRArththana * nedu varaith

On seeing Narayana's devotee, the rain cloud joyously filled gold-pots in the sky, the oceans stood and cheered in joy. The mountains made festoons for him, and all the words bowed in worship
thozhudhanar ulagargaL * dhUpa nal malar mazhai
pozhivanar * bhUmi anRaLandhavan thamar munnE **
ezhumin enRu iru marungkisaiththanar * munivargaL *
vazhi idhu vaikundharkkenRu * vandhedhirE 3
When they saw the devotees of the Earth, mesuring Lord, they rained flowers, lit incense and offered worship. Bards stood on either side and songs "Hall" and said, "This way to Vaikunta"
edhiredhir imaiyavar * iruppidam vaguththanar *
kadhiravar avaravar * kainirai kAttinar **
adhir kural murasangkaL * alai kadal muzhakkoththa *

All the way the celestials made resting points, The Moon and the Sun lighted the path, thundering drums rolled like the ocean, in honour of the nectar-Tualsi-Lord Madava's devotee

Incense rose with fire oblations, bugles and concehs rent the air, "Rule the sky, O Devotee!", the Vel-eyed dames cheered lustly
madandhaiyar vAzhththalum * marudharum vasukkaLum *
thodarndhengkum * thOththiram sollinar * thodu kadal
kidandha en kEsavan * kiLaroLi maNimudi *

Marut and Vasus joined in worship as damsels cheetred in joy, to see the bounded serf of the Lord, -the ocean-reclining Kesava, radiant-crowned Gopala, Lord of Kundandai, -on his journey homeward bound
kudi adiyAr ivar * gOvindhan thanakkenRu *

kodi aNi nedu madhiL * gOpuram kuRuginar *

Gods in rows teamed to see and said, "Here comes Govinda's bonded serf!", then climbed on the high walls of the festooned Gopuram, to catch a glimpse of the devotee, -cast in Madava's image, -as he entered Vaikunta
vaikundham puguthalum * vAsalil vAnavar *
vaikundhan thamar emar * emadhidam pugudhenRu **
vaikundhaththu amararum * munivarum viyandhanar *
vaikundham puguvadhu * maNNavar vidhiyE 9
As the devotee entered the portals, the bards were filled with joy. The gods in the temple bowed and offered their niches to him, for entering Vaikunta is very man's birthright
vithi vagai pugundhanar enRu * nal vEdhiyar *
padhiyinil pAngkinil * pAdhangkaL kazhuvinar **

Vedic seers praising their forture, washed the devotee's feet, while moon-faced dames greeted him with Purna kumbha, lamp and saffron-water
* vandhavar edhir koLLa * mAmaNi maNdapaththu *
andhamil pErinbaththu * adiyarOdu irundhamai **
kondhalar pozhil * kurugUrch sadakOpan * sol

The devotee then stood face to face before the Lord in his jewel Mandapa in everlasting joy. Those who master this decad of the thousand by kurugur satakopan will become bards
