P.R.Ramachander
(Here is a remarkable prayer to Lord of Guruvayur seemingly from a senior citizen.)

Kashtam yennude mujjanma papangal,
Dushtangalaya vyadhi swaroopangal,
Kettiyittu valukkunna dehavum,
Gheeshpathi maru mandhira Govinda. 1

Oh Govinda of the city of Guru and Vayu,
The sins that I committed in previous births,
Are becoming horrible forms of diseases,
And are pulling down my body.

Kalu kondu nadappan vasamilla,
Kosa pole melinja sarreravum,
Tholu pole sareerathilullu may,
Gheeshpathi maru mandhira Govinda. 2

Oh Govinda of the city of Guru and Vayu,
I am not able to walk with my legs,
As I have body as thin as a stick,
And one which appears to be only skin.

Keezhil cheythoru doshangal kondallo,
Kezhu marayi vannithu jnan ippol,
Dosham koodathe palicharulenam.,

Oh Govinda of the city of Guru and Vayu,
Due the sins that I have committed before,
I am now forced to cry and weep,
And so please look after me without problems.

Oh Govinda of the city of Guru and Vayu,
In my body which is the culprit,
All these diseases have become serious,
And please cure them and look after me.

Oh Govinda of the city of Guru and Vayu,
Oh God , thoughts arise in my mind,
As to whether I should die jumping in the well,
Or die by eating some thing.

Oh Govinda of the city of Guru and Vayu,
I spend my time alone at night weeping,
I do not have any taste for food,
And I do not have pleasure even for a second.

The mothers do not kill their children,
Whatever they do they protect them,
And so without any doubt protect me.
