  Kurai Onrum Illai
  No Regrets Have I)
  
  A rendering of the Tamil
  composition of C. Rajagopalachari
  
  No regrets have I
  My lord,
  None.
  Lord of the Written Word,
  My light, my sight,
  My very eyes
  No regrets,
  None.
  Though you stand
  Where I behold you not
  My light, my very eyes,
  Protector of all earthlings
  I know you sustain me
  Lord of the Venkata Hill so pure
  You meet my hunger, my thirst
  My hope, my prayer
  You keep me from harm,
  Lord of the Sparkling Gems,
  I need naught else
  Father of the Seven Hills,
  Naught else.
  
  
  * * *
  You stand — do you not? —
  Veiled by a screen
  Only the learned can part
  For they are the learned
  Which I am not
  But no, no regrets have I.
  Crowning this hill
  You stand as rock
  Giver of Boons
  Immutable God
  Father to these hills
  No regrets have I
  Govinda !
  
  
  * * *
  In this benighted Age of ours
  Lord —
  The worst of all the Four —
  You have entered
  The sanctum
  A shaft of granite
  Where though I see you not
  No regrets have I.
  Boulder of strength
  With the Ocean,
  Heaving on your breast,
  Of the purest compassion —
  My Mother,
  My very own, who grants
  Anything I ask of her
  Can I possibly have regrets?
  The two of you, I know,
  Stand there for me
  Eternally
  No regrets have I my Govinda
  None, none whatsoever
  Govinda! Govinda!
  Govinda! Govinda!

  From the web:
  
  Meaning: "I have no grievances at all absolutely, vEdha nayakA! kaNNA! You
  are not seen by my eyes; Even though You are not seen by my naked eyes, I
  have no grievances! (implies; I have, because I am not able to see you)
  
  Whatever I wish, You are able to give me, Then, what else do I need? (except
  You); Hence, I have no grievances; maNivaNNA! malai appA! GovindhA!
  
  You are standing behind the curtain (imples stage; You are a soothra
  dhaari); Only vEdic scholars and jnAnis can see You; Even then, I have no
  grievances (implies, I have because I am not able to see You);
  
  During these "kali" yugam, You have come and entered and stayed as an archA
  form at TirumalA, kEsavA! No one can deny Your Existence, GovindhA!
  When the Merciful, Goddess stays in Your chest all the time, why should I
  have any "kuRai" (grievance)? GovindhA!"
