Oh Ocean of grace  that knows no boundaries.
Please give us fulfilment in this worldly prison-like life,
Oh Chandrashekara  , I surrender  to  you.

8. Even the Devas (living on the Sky) search for you and come by,
Such was your powerful grace and blessing as the Living God on earth,
At all times I would be leaning   towards  your Holy feet,
Oh Chandrashekara  I surrender  to you.

Sri Maha Periva thiruvadikalil samarpanam
Dedicated at the divine feet of Sri Maha Periva .
