425. When the Kingarars, the messengers of Yama,
come to take me,
even if I run to the front door of my house
and beg them, saying, “Stop here” they will not do it.
O lord with a discus and conch in your hands,
whenever I can I worship you and praise you, saying all your names.
You should protect me from all trouble and take care of me.
O lord, you rest on the snake bed on the ocean in Srirangam.
