As I meditate upon the karma which leads to that, I become fearful; hence, I surrender unto your divine feet which lets us escape such dangers. Isn&#8217;t that union filled with sorrow? If one sets out to enjoy such love, a) it does not let him become satisfied one day, b) it makes one lose one&#8217;s masculinity, c) it makes one hang his head in shame in front of others, d) eventually it will lead to narakam (hell). When I think about the karma which is the cause for such union which causes svarUpa hAni (damage to true nature), it makes me fearful; hence, I will approach and surrennder unto the divine feet which will let me step on the heads of yama et al, even after roaming around anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>pOdhalar nedumudip puNNiyanE<\/strong> &#8211; Oh one who is having the purity of eliminating my desire towards other matters by showing your presence with the garland, decorated around your divine crown!
