The Lord has many auspicious qualities which will make those who have attained Him, to remain with a determined mind, having no thought of leaving Him ever. ?appon peyarOn tadanencam keenda pirAnAr tamatadik keezh vidappOi, tidanencamAi emmai neetthu inRutARum tirikinRatE.? (I sent my heart as a messenger to the feet of the Lord Who had easily broken the hard chest of the demon, HiraNya. It also rushed there with determination. But, it has abandoned me who sent it as a messenger, and till now, it is very happily following Him wherever He goes.) 47. The Lord has such good qualities which will make the devotees to enjoy Him without any break. In case a break occurs, even friendly objects will appear to be inimical to them. ?tirikinRatu vadamArutam tingaL ventee mukantu, choarikinRatu athuvumathu, kaNNan viNNoor tozhavE, sarikinRthu changam,taNNam tuzhAikku vaNNam payalai virikinRatu muzhu-mayyum, ennAngkol en melliyaRkE?? (The hot northern breeze blows. The Moon, which is usually pleasant, pours cinders. It is the same as that (the hot air from the north). All these happen to my gentle daughter who could not get fulfilled her wish to continuously worship, without any break, the Paramapadam, the Abode of Krishna; with the result, her bracelet made of conches slips from her hand; Her desire for the pleasant Tulasi garland of the Lord has not been materialized; and so, the golden tinge of her entire body has turned black. What will happen to my girl?) [This is the worry of the mother of the Lady-love of the Lord.] 48. The Lord gives the full enjoyment to the devotees who are happily experiencing His auspicious qualities, so that their minds do not go after anything else. ?melliyal Akkaik kirumi kuruvil miLir-tantu AngE chelliya chelkaittu ulakai en kANum? ennAlum tannaic holliya soozhal tirumAlavan kavi yAtu kaRREn? Palliyin chollum chollAk koLvathO uNdu paNdu paNdE.? (The slender worm, born in the wound, stays there itself. It is its nature. How it will be aware of the world? It will not. Similarly I am placed. The Consort of Lakshmi cleverly got me sung about Himself. How do I know about His clever words? The chirp of the lizard is considered as an omen since long. Isn't it?) 49. He Himself is used to enjoy again and again the same experience of the devotees. ?perumAn madusoodanan dAmOdaran uNdum umizhntum katAya maNNEr anna oNNutalE? (You have the bright beautiful face, similar to that of the world which was saved by the Lord, by swallowing it at the time of the deluge and bringing it out, at the end of the deluge. He is the Over-Lord and also named as Madu-soodanan and DAmOdaran.) [The Lady-love is addressed by her maid-friend.] 50.

Our chariot should be driven now in such a speed as to reach there, before the golden colour of My lady-love?s body turns into green.)
