I toiled much at the doorsteps of others.Now I found Hari

tari poorva karmAdi daivamE ichchEni ||
|
I used to get myself exausted in the service of others.Now I
practice Yoga to balance my body and mind.Whatever rewards others
gave for my work, God is bestowing according to my piety accumulated in my previous births.

| C 3 |
andu santOshamE phalamindu santOshamE phala
andunu mAyA kalpita mindunoo mAyE
andunindu Sree vEnkatAdheeSuDE karta
andaitE bara tantramu indu nE swatantruDa ||
|
Of course happiness is the reward in both cases.Both are Lord
Venkatesa's Maya.But I was fettered in the service for others
where as I have absolute freedom in the service of the Lord of
my heart.
