What ways of the world are these which breed untold miseries making
incompatible people laught at and compatible people cry in anguish?
Compassionate Lord whi churned the Milk Ocean! Be pelased to pronounce
this vassal's withering away (from this body) without any delay and show
the way to attain your feet only.

What ways of the world are these that the clan and other relatives dash
their heads on each other, lament, roll around and wail at
one's (unanticipated) death and downfall (from wealth and power)? My Lord
on the bed of Adisesa! I do not understand any of these. Have
consideration on this vassal and call me to you without delay.

I cannot bear to see the goings on in the world of life ebbing away
leaving behind mutual appreciation, the pride of heredity, the clan, other
relatives, immense wealth, dames of lovely tresses with flowers humming
with bees and mansions. The Lord of the sea-hue! Unlike what you thought
of me previously, call this vassal into service.

What nature of the world is this that the quality of tamas
(unrighteousness) makes one say, "take it, take it", when great riches,
destructive like fire, is thrust on him to accept? Bounteous Lord of
saffire-hue! Be generous and accept this vassal and grace the way to reach
your feet.

What ways of this world thriving in destructive waters, that the beings,
existing and moving about in the world face uprootment by birth, death,
disease and old age, and over that the cruel hell? Saffire-hued Lord! Do
not get this vassal engrossed in it. Accept me.

People thrive (fill their belly) by frightening, ensnaring, torturing and
killing. There is nobody aware of (to enforce) righteousness. What nature
of the world is this? Lord with fragrant tulasi on your crown! My
insatiable nectar! You took this sinner into service. Be pleased to call
him to you.

As no other entity exists other than you as the moving beings and
immovable objects in the worlds as your body, you call this vassal to you
ridding me of suffering, old age, birth, existence and death. Do not show
me this cruel world henceforth.

When will it be that you unit me to your hard-to-get-at sacred feet in
your lustrous Parampada, freeing me from this fortress that is the unique
cosmic egg, brought about by you for the celestials to live, from out of
earth, water, fire, ether and wind, brought forth to light by you from
concealment.

Lord reposing on Adisesa! I realise that you unite those (surrendering to
you) to your sought after feet and part without accepting worship from the
celestials (who make self efforts). I know that you will unite me to your
hard-to-get sacred feet so as for me to subsist carrying your sacred feet
(on my head) freed of all extraneous matter.

I have seen the pleasure of the five sense-organs by seeing, hearing,
feeling, smelling and eating and the inferior bliss (Kaivalya) beyond
one's awareness. Having discarded in toto these after seeing the
excellence of Lakshmi of lovely bangles and you together, I have attained
your sacred feet.

These ten pasurams of the tamil "Thousand" composed on the holy feet by
CatakOpan of lovely KurukUr desiring to attain the holy feet of the
universal refuge, narayana, kesava, the Supreme effulgence, will make one
attain his sacred feet. Be united (in service) attaining his feet.
