Oh lord! Please rest onto the flowery bed - my heart.

Like the way Kousalya had sung lullabies to lord Sri Ram, or like the way Anusuya had sung lullabies (to the trimurthis), I'll try to sing about the extraordinary feats of yours, trying to serve you my best, so please, my lord, show me some courtesy and reside in my heart!

I don't want the sun to set. I don't want the sun to rise. I know nothing about 'bhakti', I don't even want moksha; my life wouldn't be stable for a second without your darshana, so please, oh lord! Relieve me of this pain. Please, oh lord! Reside in my heart!
