1005. O my Father in Naimiśāraṇyam, O Lord of Kurungudi, with a hue deep as the vast ocean. In this age of Kali, the five senses rose against me at its command, shouting, “Crush him!” What path to life was left for them now? But I pushed aside their cruelty, and with this tongue of mine, I praised You in sweet words, woven in graceful meter, offering many flowers. I bowed down and worshipped Your feet, and now, I have come and surrendered to Your divine feet.
