*Pachai Mamalai Lyrics*
Pachai mamali pol meni
Pavala vaai kamala chenkan
Achuthaa amararere
Aayartham kozhundhe ennum
Icchuvai thavira yaan poi Indira logam aalum
Acchuvai perinum venden…
Arangamaa nagarulaanea

*Pachai Mamalai Meaning*
Azhwar describes the lord's body as a green mountain with beautiful red lips like the ruby.
His eyes are red and broad like a lotus.. When the azhwar has the fortune to rejoice the lord in this way, he considers even the moksha as inferior to this. He ignores that completely any of worldly joys. He wants to live with his lord, living in Srirangam and chanting his name that he does not want Indira lokha even if he were the ruler of it.

*Savale Sundara lyrics*
sawale sunder roop manohar
raho nirantar hriduy maze
aanik kahi iccha maha nahi chad
tuze naam god panduranga
janmojanmi aise magitale tuz
aamahasi sahaj dyave ata
tuka mahne tuz aise dayal
dundita sakal nahi aamha
