ମୁଚୁକୁନ୍ଦ ସ୍ତୁତି

ଅର୍ଥ:O sinless Lord, having obtained this rare and complete human form without any effort, the foolish person who does not worship Your lotus feet is like a beast fallen into the blind well of household life.

ଅର୍ଥ:O unconquerable one, this lifetime of mine has been wasted; for as a king puffed up with the pride of royal fortune, identifying this mortal body as the self, ever attached to sons, wife, treasury and lands, I was consumed by endless anxiety.

ଅର୍ଥ:Thinking 'I am a king, a god among men,' falsely proud of this body which is no better than a clay pot or a mud wall, surrounded by chariots, elephants, horses and infantry and their commanders, I roamed the earth in arrogant folly, taking no account of You.

ଅର୍ଥ:While a man is thus heedless, intent on his schemes, swollen with greed and hankering after sense objects, You, ever vigilant, suddenly fall upon him — just as a hungry serpent, licking its fangs, seizes a mouse, so does death seize him.

ଅର୍ଥ:The very body that once moved about in gold-bedecked chariots and on mighty elephants, bearing the title of 'king', is by Your insurmountable time reduced to that which is called stool, worms, or ashes.

ଅର୍ଥ:Having conquered all directions and freed himself of foes, seated on a royal throne and praised by equal kings, a man is yet led about like a pet animal for the pleasures of women in the privacy of his home, O Lord.

ଅର୍ଥ:Striving in fruitive work, firmly fixed in austerity, renouncing enjoyment for the sake of future gain, thinking 'may I become a self-ruler again and again' — with ever-swelling thirst, he never attains happiness.

ଅର୍ଥ:When a wandering soul is at last destined for release from material existence, O Acyuta, he gains the company of saintly devotees; and the very moment such association comes, his mind turns toward You, the goal of the saints, the Lord of all higher and lower beings.

ଅର୍ଥ:I consider, O Lord, that You have shown me Your grace, for by Your own will my entanglement with kingdom has been removed — that very freedom which saintly kings of unbroken sovereignty pray for when they wish to retire alone to the forest.

ଅର୍ଥ:I desire no benediction other than the service of Your feet, O almighty Lord — the boon most prized by those who are free of all material desire. What noble soul, having worshipped You, the giver of liberation, O Hari, would ask of You a boon that only binds him further to material life?

ଅର୍ଥ:Therefore, O Lord, casting aside all blessings that are bound up with the modes of passion, ignorance and goodness, I come to You — the unblemished, attributeless, non-dual, supreme Person, who are pure consciousness alone.

ଅର୍ଥ:Long have I suffered in this world, scorched by remorse and afflicted by my six unconquered enemies, never anywhere finding peace. O shelter-giving Supreme Soul, I have now come to Your lotus feet — fearless, true and free of sorrow. O Lord, protect me, who has taken refuge in You.
