Oh Lord Hari, let me think of you every minute. Let me forget myself and live in your love.

I spend some days in sleep, some days in evil deeds and some days arrogantly. I am mislead. Even if I beg will the past come back. Let me keep you in mind always and live.

C 2

I spend all my life in pursuit of riches and food. I spend my life in attachments only. Oh Venkatanadha, if I awake and worship, will you protect me? I'll certainly live in your service only.
