This song, a composition of the famous poet Sri Devulapalli Krishna Sastry. This is a devotional song which offers praise to Lord Ranganatha of Srirangam. Here the dancers describe the beautiful form of Sri Ranganatha as he reclines in the Srirangam temple. They wonder if even a thousand eyes are sufficient to admire the beauty of the Lord and His enchanting consort Sri Lakshmi. The devotees then seek the blessings of the Lord.

Look at this beautiful Krishna! Keep on looking at this beautiful kid, Krishna ! He is devoid of any interest in things material. He the prime mover of the entire universe.. He is Sriman-Narayana, the nemesis of the demons. Keep on looking at this beautiful kid, Krishna.
He dances (innocently). This incarnation of permanence, beyond all the transient things. He has immense affection towards his devotees. He is the ultimate truth. Keep on looking at this beautiful kid, Krishna. He is engaged perennially, in his delightful pastime of amorous music and poetry as keenly as though he is playing about in the chaste waters of the river Ganga,
Keep on looking at this beautiful kid, Krishna.
He is the granter of meaningful wealth and fortune. He averts all disasters and misfortunes.He is the ultimate bliss that Narayana Tirdha strives to attain.
Keep on looking at this beautiful kid, Krishna.

Naadathanumanisham, A keertana penned by non-other than St poet Tyagaraja. Naadatanumanisham describes lord shiva as an embodiment of music and he says oh lord you are the embodiment of music and i tribute my entire knowledge of music to you. You are the one who gives eternal joy and bliss to anybody who praises you. You are panchavaktra or the lord who has the 5 faces and anybody who gives you joy with music you just surrender to them and bless them. the dancer quotes an example of RAAVANA who praised shiva to get the aatma linga when shiva does not appear he rips apart his abdomen, pulls out his intestines and plays the rudra veena to appease shiva. Shiva moved to tears comes running to RAAVANA and blesses him with Aaatmalinga such as the power
of music. Even the gods and universe can jump in joy.

the Lord to restore righteousness to the world.
