Lodge in the lotus of your heart the Lord of Guruvayur who killed Kamsa in a fight, whose flow of compassion removes all the sufferings of worldly existence and bestows peace of mind, and who eradicates the fear of diseases such as arthritis caused by the imbalance of body fluids. जातुधुरिपातुकमिहातुरजनं द्राक् शोकभरमूकमपि तोकमिव पान्तम् । भृङ्गरुचिसङ्गरकृदङ्गलतिकं तं वातपुरनाथमिममातनु हृदब्जे ॥ ४॥ 4. Lodge in the lotus of your heart the Lord of Guruvayur who hastens to protect devotees who make offerings to Him for the eradication of sufferings, who protects those who are overwhelmed by grief, as one protects a child, and the splendour of whose body defeats that of the black bee. पापभवतापभरकोपशमनार्था- श्वासकरभासमृदुहासरुचिरास्यम् । रोगचयभोगभयवेगहरमेकं वातपुरनाथमिममातनु हृदब्जे ॥ ५॥ 5.
