962. Sriman Narayana, whose anklets resound with divine music,
Worshipped by the gods who bow at His feet,
Once dwelled on the vast ocean,
With Mahalakshmi on the lotus, decked in a shining Mekalai,
Created a shore, so that all could reach Him with ease.
He now dwells with Mahalakshmi in the sacred Himalayas,
Where mighty mountain-like tuskers pluck young bamboo shoots,
Dip them in wild honey,
And feed their tender calves with love.
Go, O heart, and reach Thiruppirithi!
