Peria Thirumozhi--mudar pathu---1

I withered away in deep sorrow worrying about this impermanent body,
I united with young women ,chasing them tirelessly for more pleasure,
In this mindless race and pining that brought only in its wake untold miseries I discovered the remedy to dispel my sorrow,
That what I was seeking all along was 'Narayana', the sacred name!

The verse in Tamil.

Vaadinen vaadi varundhinen manathal perum thuyar idum paiyil pirandu,
Koodinen koodi ilayavar thmaodu avar tharum kalavia karudhi,
vodinen vodi ooivathor porullal unnarvennum perum padamtherindu,
Naadinen nadi naan kandu konden Narayana vennum namam!
