Oh Lord Venkatesa, some people talked against you and some extolled you but you did not consider them as high and low. It is difficult to understand you.

One sage chanted your name incessantly and became dear to you.(Narada). One refused even to hear your name but you blessed him salvation. (Ghantakarna). A humble Brahmana approached you as a childhood friend. You blessed him with a fortune. (Kuchela). A person abused you repeatedly but you killed him and blessed him with salvation. (Sisupala).

A sage always meditated and chanted your name and became great Yogi.(Suka). An atheist who never worshipped you is also blessed with salvation. (Ajamila). Another person with extra-ordinary devotion to you became very great.(Uddhava). A warrior who was friendly with you achieved great victory in battle.(Arjuna).

Some fortunate women embraced you in divine love and became blessed souls.(Gopikas). As cowherd you protected cows by following them. Oh Lord Venkatesa, one may be close to you or may be away from you with hatred. But you bless those who constantly keep you in their minds.
