HAIL TO THE LORD!

jayatu jayatu dEvO dEvakI-nandanO'yam
jayatu jayatu kRshNO vRshNi-vamSa-pradIpa: |
jayatu jayatu mEgha-SyAmala: kOmalAngO
jayatu jayatu pRthvI-bhAra-nASO mukunda: || 2

This verse is like a Pallaandu. Kulasekhara salutes the Lord as Deva:, Devaki Nandana:, Krishna:, Vrishni Vamsa Pradeepa:, Mega Syaamala:, Komalaanga:, Prithvi Bhara Nasa: and Mukunda:. There are again EIGHT Naamas included in this verse. Lord Krishna is saluted as the Son of Devaki and as the light of Vrishni clan of Kings. His dark blue complexion reminding one of the clouds of the rainy season, Hisbeautiful limbs and His lightening of the burden of the Earth through destruction of the wicked during the Bharatha War are hailed here. Kulasekhara like Periyazhwaar says, Victory to Thee and may you thrive forever!

VERSE 3:

mukunda! mUrdhnO praNipatya yAcE
bhavantam EkAntam iyantam artham |
avismRtis tvac-caraNAravindE
bhavE bhavE mE'stu bhavat-prasAdAt || 3

O, Mukunda! I prosrate before you and only beg for this small boon. Please bless me to remember your Lotus Feet in every one of my births without let. This is the esssence of the 58th verse of Nammazhwaar"s Periya Thiruvandhaadhi:

pirappinmai perru adikkeezh kurravElanru,
marappinmai yaan vendum maadu.

Marappinmai or the ceaseless remembrance of the Lord's holy feet of the Lord in all the births is the small request made by the Kolli Nattu Arasan. Marappinmai or AVISMRUTHI is the same as the Dhruva Smruthi sought by Azhwaars and Aacharyas.

VERSE 4:

Sublime and dispassionate devotion:

nAham vandE tava caraNayOr dvandvam advandva hEtO:
kumbhIpAkam gurumapi harE nArakam nApanEtum |
ramyA-rAmA-mRdu-tanu-latA nandanE nApi rantum
bhAvE bhAvE hRdaya-bhavEna bhAvayEyam bhavantam || 4

Here, Kulasekhara spells out to Mukunda as to what he is NOT praying for.

· I am worshipping Your holy feet not to gain evanescent joy or to shake off my samsaric sorrow;

· I am praying to You not to escape from the terrifying Narakam known as Kumbhipaakam.

· I certainly am not offering my salutations to enjoy the celestial damsels with beautiful limbs in the pleasure gardens of Indra.

O Lord,who chases away the sorrows of the bhakthaas! Please grant me the boon of realizing You through meditation in every one of my births in the house of my Heart. That is all I am praying for and not for anything else.
