English poem
For bliss of world, come dear, join this divine mission.
To sing at the lotus feet of VaikunthaNatha of Milk Ocean
Forsake ghee and milk and forget not bathing in early hours.
Forsake flowers and eyeliner, avoid give facial make up.
Listen to elders, do not do the don’ts, do only the good.
Hurt not, donate as much as you can.
For salvation, engage with noble thoughts, awake, let us all go.
