prāptau paraspara tulām-atulāntarau te
śrī veṅkaṭeśa caraṇau śaraṇaṃ prapadye || 14 ||
I take refuge in the lotus feet of Lord Venkatesvara, whose attraction to those who surrender
(prapannas) is like the breast of a mother for a suckling infant, spouting the incomparable
spiritual ambrosia whereby they are nourished.
satvottarais-satata sevya padāmbujena
saṃsāra tāraka dayārdra dṛgañcalena |
saumyopayantṛ muninā mama darśitau te
śrī veṅkaṭeśa caraṇau śaraṇaṃ prapadye || 15 ||
I take refuge in the lotus feet of Lord Venkatesvara, adored by the pious and virtuous, and
which are a boat for crossing over this world of mundane existence: they were revealed to
me by the gentle sage Manavalamamuni whose eyes were moist with compassion.
śrīśa śriyā ghaṭikayā tvad-upāyabhāve
prāpye tvayi svayam upeyatayā sphurantyā |
nityā-śritāya niravadya guṇāya tubhyaṃ
syāṃ kiṅkaro vṛṣa-girīśa na jātu mahyam || 16 ||
O Lord of Opulence, you yourself are the means to final beatitude, after reaching you,
mother Lakshmi herself became the Mediatrix overflowing with compassion and solicitude, I
have dedicated myself to your service for no reward whatsoever, but only to please you.

Auspiciousness be to the Lord Venkatesa who gazes alluringly at Goddess Lakshmi with
elegant eyebrows, and who observes all the worlds with His vacillating eyes. .

whose auspicious feet adorn the crest of mount Venkata.
