You bear the pASa(noose) and ankuSa(goad).You are the most supreme one who has mooShika, the mouse, as your vehicle. You are affectionate/loving to the sages. Kindly and happily show me Your feet. You who is worshipped by sadhus/righteous people, kindly grace me with the ability to worship Lord Purandara vittala who has the lotus in his navel..
