685. Oh Lord! Like a plant that
grows, you manifest to destroy the
evil that lurks in the world. May I
be born as a door step in your
temple that your devotees step
over, so that I can see your
beautiful lips for ever. (Kulasekara
Alwar’s prayer is answered! The
door step in Vishnu temples is
called as Kulasekaran Padi!)

Mukunda! make me your glory great oft recount,
As Laksmi’s consort dear, as the bestower
bounteous,As the all-merciful, as the great friend of
the devout,As the deft destroyer of earthly bondage,
as my sole support,As the one lying on the serpent
couch in sweet repose,As the all-pervading Lord of
the universe (and so on).

0, Hari, I worship Thy pair of feet, not to overcome
The twin operation ofpain and pleasure, nor even
To escape drudging in the dire hell, kumbhipikam
Or dally with damsels, soft and sweet, in Indra’s garden
But to keep you enshrined in my heart, span after span

O, Bhagavan! neither am I inclined to dharma
Nor to riches, nor to the pleasures sensual,
Let me, as I should, reap the fruits of my karma;
Yet, the only thing unto me most delightful,
I do pray for, is devotion deep and perennial
Unto your lovely pair of feet, in my births,
one and all.

Comfort do I take that my thoughts dwell
On Your lovely pair of feet, which excelleth
The autumnal lotus, even in my hour of death

The Sānatsujātiya refers to a portion of the Mahābhārata, a Hindu epic. It appears in the Udyoga Parva (book), and is composed of five chapters (Adyāya 41–46).[1] One reason for the Sānatsujātiya's importance is that it was commented upon by Adi Shankara,[2] the preeminent expositor of Advaita Vedanta, and one of the most important Hindu sages, philosophers, and mystics.
