Having worshipped (a) the temple towers, (b) very sacred flag staff, (c) the figures of Gods carved in rock established on the ground, (d) dances of damsels, (e) rows of lamps, and (f) the divine carriages of the Lord, O Destroyer of sins! I became external oriented; therefore, is it in my capacity to behold Lord Siva? 2. Performing sixteen circumambulations by swaying slowly, uttering nicely words of abuse about others, I exulted by looking at others’ wives, but I failed to chant the sacred twin letter ‘Siva’; is it in my capacity to behold Lord Siva? 3. Is it a matter of play to remain in a state of trance by me firmly establishing (in the mind) the wonderful gold like form (of the Lord), beholding (the form) again and again in the Lotus of the heart? O Lord whose feet are worshipped by this Thyagaraja! is it in my capacity to behold Lord Siva? |
