\Supremacy of Sri

Beloved spouse of You

The purest male to woo

Bed and seat softly made

By snake king, His aid                             (1-1)

Script bodied eagle

Serves as seat and vehicle

Obsessive primordial matter

Is veil and illusion filter                           (1-2)

Brahma, Siva and others

Their wives also adores

Proud to be Your servant 

And maid with fervent                             (1-3)

Your name itself is Sree  

With traits superbly glee

So celebrated You are

How can I praise thee?                            (1-4)

Praising Sri’s attributes

Amazing, infinitely vibrant

Naturally kind and eminent 

Virtues of Yours inherently  

Suits His liking, apparently                     (2-1)

Master, Your loving consort    

Have traits hard to enumerate

He can’t appraise Yours truly

Just like His own fame fully                    (2-2)

Sole Goddess of all domains

            Wife of the supreme who reigns

You are a never drying ocean

Filled with great compassion     (2-3)

I have done the surrender

Slave, I grasp Your splendor

Mercy of Yours, I now realize

With no fear, I start to praise      (2-4)

Praising Sri’s blessings

One time, the three universe                      

Ruined and went in accurse

When Your divine blessing

Distinctly, there it was missing  (3-1)   

Tiny elixir of mercy showers

            Showed Your magical powers

Now, they are greatly restored

Aptly supported and adored                  (3-2)

Humans aspire affluence   

Love self soul in preference  

Eager on the happy sky above

            Are rewards they aim with love      (3-3)

Sweet to lotus eyed Lord

            All the above, You bestow

Without the mercy You show

Nothing can prosper, though                 (3-4)

Praising Sri’s forms

Tranquil, blissful and serene

Permeates in all, still unseen

Spanned with splendid stature

Is supreme Hari’s innate nature             (4-1)

If a form larger, ever exist  

To Lord, loveable and brilliant

Apparent to eyes, that supreme

Is astonishing at the extreme                 (4-2)

Lord who likes to play forever

Everything His way, however

To help devotees access Him easy

The unborn takes form of many            (4-3)

To You, all of the Lord’s form 

Scripts say, amicably conform

And are embraced and gifted

Inseparably lusted and exalted  (4-4)
