Dasakam: 037 -- Shlokam: 01


सान्द्रानन्दतनो हरे ननु पुरा दैवासुरे सङ्गरे
त्वत्कृत्ता अपि कर्मशेषवशतो ये ते न याता गतिम् ।
तेषां भूतलजन्मनां दितिभुवां भारेण दूरार्दिता
भूमि: प्राप विरिञ्चमाश्रितपदं देवै: पुरैवागतै: ॥१॥

saandraanandatanO hare nanu puraa daivaasure sangare
tvatkR^ittaa api karmasheSha vashatO ye te na yaataa gatim |
teShaaM bhuutalajanmanaaM ditibhuvaaM bhaareNa duuraarditaa
bhuumiH praapa viri~nchamaashritapadaM devaiH puraivaagataiH ||1

O Lord Hari! Condensed bliss incarnate!
