Dance and Sing.

Moimmampumpolil: 3-5.

Pray tell, O people of the ocean girdled earth!
What are they who cannot sing and dance in joy
The glories of the dark hued lord who saved the elephant
From the jaws of the crocodile in the lotus tank?

Praising the Lord who gives woe to the mighty Asuras,
Friends who mince and eat mortals on earth,
Those who cannot sing on top throat and dance in ecstacy
Must forever suffer the throes of Karmic birth.

Those who do not dance and touch the earth with their heads
repeatedly uttering the praise of the lord
who stopped a hailstorm with a mountain
Must forever suffer stormy hell as their only retreat.

Sing the praise of Sridhara of coral lips
who killed seven bulls for love of Nappinnai.
Dance with hands over head, dignity be blown.
or else what use this birth amid saintly men?

The lord of vedas left his radiant Vaikuntha
And came as a mortal to protect the innocent from Kamsa's tyranny.
Other than singing and dancing his praise through every street
What is there to learn before scholars, are they men?

The birthless lord who took birth reclines in the ocean,
Sweet as fruit and nectar, sugar and honey and ambrosia,
He is the living, the non living and all else.
those whopraise him, sing and dance attain total knowledge.

The radiant lord unleashed a terrible army
Over the unfair hundred and granted victory to the five.
Of what use to the good world are men who build up their biceps
If they do not melt their hearts, dance and sing and praise?

Our lord resides in Vengadam of cool water springs,
Rave his name incessantly and be called a mad man 
roam through towns and hamlets, let the world mock at you.
Jump and dance in ecstacy, and be worshipped by celestials.

The lord worshipped by celestials is lord of all creation.
For all other than those who have reached him forever
Through yogic penance and see him in their hearts,
Dancing and singing his praise is the only Karma.

He is their Karmas their fruit and their cause.
My lord of gem hue and lotus eyes, lord of celestials,
With oneness of heart, melting inside, dance and sing,
Lose your pride and shame, and rave his praise like mad.

this decad of a thousand songs
On acyuta, lord who corrects devotees and accepts them
Is by Satakopan of fertile Kurugur fields.
those who sing it will win over strong Karmas.
