My heart melts, more than I can bear. My love surges when I recall his wonders. Alas, what can I a mere servant, do? He lives in Tirukkatkarai where lotus blooms abound in streets

In every thought and every world, my heart fails. Even when I sing your praise, my soul melts. My Lord and Father living in lake-abounding Tirukkatkarail! I cannot think of how I am to serve you

Through goodness he deceived my heart and entered it. Then he became my soul, hurt me and took my life. My dark hued Lord and father lives in Tirukkatkarai, I do not understand his deceits

The Lord who contains all the worlds is contained in them. I cannot understand how the Tirukkatkaai Lord fancied such a lowly soul as mine!

Pretending to shower grace he entered into me, and in a trice he swallowed me, body and soul. Oh, the tricks of dark hued Lord Krishna plays! He lives in fertile groves of Tirukkatkarai

My Krishna's tricks appear to me as truths. This chaff of my soul which he sucked and threw aside wakes up to reality, then weeps day and night, "My Krishna, my Krishna" and worships him at Tirukkatkarai

Worshipping my Krishna at Tirukkatkarai, my love-sickness grows; I think and then weep. He came and took me lovingly into his service. But my soul diminishes day by day, alas!

He came not to take my service, but to eat my soul! Day by day, bit by bit, he eats my all. My rain cloud Lord at Tirukkatkarai, -was he interested in service? His attention was on my soul!

My dark hued Lord at Tirukkatkarai has lotus eyes and coral lips, four arms and a godly radiance. Which other soul does he torture like he does mine?

I thought, "If ever I see him I will gobble him", but before I could, he deceived me and hastily drank my all. My dark Lord of Tirukkatkarai is smart!

This decad of the thousand songs by Satakopan of lvy-walled kurugur on the Lord who killed kamsa will destroy the mirage of the world, just see!
