आमुक्तमाल्यदा (विजयनगर सम्राट् श्रीकृष्णदेवराय - गोदा देवी आण्डाल भक्ति एवं साम्राज्य-नीति)

64 Goda's Garland of Dev.
Yea, this is the moment in human time
that cuts across timeless time:
this is the movement is terrestrial terms
that alchemises earth-clay into divine Light.
This is the journey's end for those
who choose the path of Divine Life.
The Lord smiles as Goda gets merged in him:
ah whither has gone the bright young bride?
Vishnuchitta grasps the secret
of the wedding of the Lord and his Spouse,
comprehending the eternities.
For the present, the colour, joy and the smile;
For all future time, Truth's self-delight.
Ah, infinite Lover! compassionate Lord!
Was it to make us see and sing
this symphony of divine Delight
grown native on our beautiful earth,
you missioned your consort Vasundhara
to take a human birth as Goda
in Villipputtur, in Pandyan land?
