नित्यं स्वोदरपोषणाय सकलानुद्दिश्य वित्ताशया
व्यर्थं पर्यटनं करोमि भवतः सेवां न जाने विभो ।
मज्जन्मान्तरपुण्यपाकबलतस्त्वं शर्व सर्वान्तर
स्तिष्ठस्येव हि तेन वा पशुपते ते रक्षनीयोऽस्म्यहम् ॥
Nithyam swodhara poshanaya sakalan uddhishya vithasaya,
Vyartham paryatanam karomi bavath sevam na jane Vibho,
Majjanmanthara pushyapaka balatha sthvam ssarva sarvanthara
Sththshtisyeva hi thena vaa pasupathe the rakshaniyoaasyaham. 57

திஷ்ட2ஸ்யேவ ஹி தேன வா பஸு1-பதே தே ரக்ஷணீயோऽஸ்ம்யஹம் ||57||
Always For filling my stomach, And desirous of becoming rich. Many I have contacted, And have traveled without aim,
But knew not service to you, Oh all pervading one. Oh, Lord of all beings, Oh, Lord who wipes away sins of his devotees,
Because of the good that I did in my previous birth, Knew I, that you are within all beings, And so I become fit to be saved by you.
