Narayaniyam Caturdasadasakam Meaning:

Manu the son of Lord Brahma, meditating on your lotus like feet,
Singing the stories of your incarnations, completed,
His period of seventy-one, four-fold yugas without any problem. ॥ 14.1 ॥

During that time Kardhama who was created,
In the image of Lord Brahma himself,
According to the suggestion given by Brahma,
Got interested in the process of creation,
And did penance for ten thousand years,
Meditating on you who is very handsome. ॥ 14.2 ॥

Oh Lord, you with a pretty color of the cloud rode on Garuda
Holding playfully a lotus flower and was radiant with a pleasing smile,
And you appeared before the Kardhama by your divine grace. ॥ 14.3 ॥

You gave Kardhama, who was enraptured on seeing you,
And who was singing your praises the boon of marrying Manu’s daughter,
And also blessed him to get nine daughters and a son called Kapila and vanished. ॥ 14.4 ॥

As per the advice of Sage Narada which was as per your prompting,
Swayambhuva Manu along with his queen Satha roopi,
Along with his daughter, Devahuthi went to Kardhama who was awaiting them. ॥ 14.5 ॥

That Kardhama when he was given Devahuthi
Who was a jewel among women, by Manu,
Got happy and contended with devotion to you,
And lavished love on her due to her great affectionate service. ॥ 14.6 ॥

Kardhama with the power that he got by worshipping you,
In the plane constructed by himself as per the wishes of his dear wife,
Journeyed and enjoyed romantic pleasures with her,
Assuming nine forms and being surrounded by celestial maidens, ॥ 14.7 ॥

Later that Kardhama after spending one hundred years,
Begot nine very pretty daughters,
And intended to go to the forest to do penance,
But staying at home so that you would be born to him. ॥ 14.8 ॥

You were born to Devahuthi as Sage Kapila
To teach the philosophy of the supreme soul
And Devahuthi was drowned in your service,
According to the advice of her husband. ॥ 14.9 ॥

Oh Lord of Guruvayur, who was born as sage Kapila,
With your birth the very satisfied Kardhama left to the forest,
And you, who took up the task of teaching our religious principles,
To your mother, may please cure me of all diseases. ॥ 14.10 ॥
