(“chalakuchunnade”) in (“mandu”) the lotus-like (“kamala”) hearts (“hrudaya”) of the good people
(“janula”) who recite and sing (“sankeerthanamunu jesina”) his name. He holds (“batti yunnade”) the
hands (“virudu”) of the pure souls (“pathitha paavanudanu”). He is the one (“Ithade”) who gives
(“icchu vaadu”)salvation (“sadgati”). He is the one (“dora ithade”) who rides on the eagle mount
(“gamana”) called Garuda.

He is the soul (“praana”) mate (“naadu”) of 16000 (“padiyaru (16) veyla (1000)”) women (“sthrilaku),
a story from the Krishna avataara who were freed from Narakaasura. He is the one who suppressed &
