  • Verse 1:
    Nāraṇam (Nāraṇa) is the sacred name you must meditate upon. Besides this, I affirm, there is none other to consider. Take note, all those who yearn for the lovely feet of Kaṇṇaṉ, our Lord, who is easily accessible to the devout.
  • Verse 2:
    Nāraṇaṉ, our Sire, is the loving spouse of Mother Earth. He ordained this vast Universe and destroyed the gigantic elephant set upon Him by Kaṃsa, the great tyrant.
  • Verse 3:
    This is He (Nārāyaṇa), who pervades the whole universe, created it all with no external aid, sustained all the worlds in His stomach, and then spat them out. He once again lifted the Earth from deep waters; everything He ordains.
  • Verse 4:
    Reclining on the strong and smart serpent, the Lord holds sway over the vast Universe. Adore Him all the time, placing fine flowers at His lovely feet.
  • Verse 5:
    You shall attain emancipation if you worship the Lord daily with fresh flowers and sing His holy names, set to nice tunes, gaily.
  • Verse 6:
    Mātavaṉ, with the lovely complexion of a lily flower, who defeated the devil Pūthanā by sucking her breasts to death, resides on Mount Vēṅkaṭam.
  • Verse 7:
    Past sins shall not affect you at all, nor shall future sins taint you, if you but spell the name ‘Mātavaṉ’.
  • Verse 8:
    Those that chant the holy names of the cloud-hued Lord, regardless of their descent and deeds, shall be well beyond the reach of evil and on par with the revered Nithyasuris.
  • Verse 9:
    Those who are soaked in God-love and adore the Lord Supreme, the One who is beyond the reach of even Brahmā and others but easily accessible to the devout, are indeed out of reach of ills and evils.
  • Verse 10:
    Sins in their multitude and dense ignorance shall clear out in sheer fright when you meditate on the Lord Supreme and worship Him with fresh flowers from ponds.
  • Verse 11:
    These ten songs, out of Caṭakōpaṉ's thousand, the One who revels in the abundant grace of the Lord Supreme, will elevate the chanters to his level.
