Mukunda Mala 52
O Lord, your wife is daughter of the sea, Your son, the demiurge, hight Virinchi, The Vedic texts your high praises proclaim, The gods in heaven are your servant train, Salvation is your grace, your potency Projects the world, your mother Devaki, Your friend the son of him who Bala slew. I acknowledge, O Lord, no one but you. 52

Mukunda Mala 53/54
To wise dwellers of heaven 'tis well known The purpose of the head is to bow down To the Lord, and the hands fulfilment gain In his devoted worship to maintain; The purpose of the mind to contemplate His qualities and transcendental state; And speech its ultimate purpose attains, When his exploits and glory it proclaims. 53
Having recited Narayana's name, Who, though sinful, did not their hopes attain? But we did not, and prior deeds compel, Sorrow attendant, in a womb to dwell. 54

Mukunda Mala 55-57
Whoever deep meditation maintains, On Vishnu who in the heart's core remains, Immutable, all pervading, endless, Are granted the high state of fearlessness, The supremest accomplishment conceives, And the perfected Vaishnav state achieves. 55
Therefore, O illustrious one adored, You show kindness to those who have no lord, O Vishnu, who all things doth permeate, You are exceedingly compassionate. I am sunk in the sea of worldliness, And wallow, O Hari, in sore distress; It would be worthy of your dignity, O Purusottama, to rescue me. 56
Hail Madhava who slaughtered Madhu dread, Recumbent on coils of the serpent bed, Whose body radiates sublime beauty, Splashed by fine droplets from the milky sea. 57

Concluding Mukunda Mala.
Enough, enough, it will suffice, I say, Alone all creatures sins to drive away; By repeatedly uttering the name, 'O Krishna, Krishna!' over and again, If there for Mukunda devotion is, Attended with intense ecstatic bliss, The Goddess Salvation before him stands, And offers her bounty with open hands. 58
The two learned poet friends of the king, Padma and Shara, worthy honour bring; This work by Kulashekhar is complete, Who like a plunderer who hath six feet, Quaffs down sweet nectar as between he flies, Lord Hari's lotus-feet and lotus-eyes. 59
Whoso doth this Mukunda Mala read, From all iniquity is straightway freed, Which endless happiness on him bestows, And to Vishnu's eternal region goes. 60
