2. He alone is blessed, who, like Tumburu (Gandharva chief of celestial musicians), dances in the Court of the Lord – the Ocean of mercy, attuned with his tambura.
3. He alone is blessed, who, without leaving the company of virtuous people for help, and himself remaining vigilant (against pitfalls), has spent his time happily.
4. He alone is blessed, who, having extinguished the afflictions of his mind, considering all (worldly enjoyments) to be false, remains talking sweetly (about the Lord).
5. He alone is blessed, who goes about without being involved in the six-fold internal enemies (kAma, krOdha, lObha, mOha, mada, mAtsarya) which screen one from understanding the real nature of the Lord – the saviour of Gajendra – the elephant.
6. He alone is blessed, who believes whole-heartedly the Lord Rama-incarnate, who is famed as the One who rids of all the griefs and cycle of re-birth.
7. He alone is blessed, who, having been born in actual Brahmana family (or caste) - which is indeed rare to attain - achieves the ever-lasting end-result called liberation.
8. Be he grounded in performance of Vedic actions or be he of virtuous (or charitable) disposition, he alone is blessed, who knows the secret of the joy of the name of Lord Sri Rama.
9. He alone is blessed, who is not ruined, because of desires, donning garbs for the sake of petty coins.
10. He alone is blessed, who sets his aim in the charming Lord Sri Rama, who has been worshipped well by all by chanting His names.
11. He alone is blessed whoever had earlier (or first) experienced the excellent comfort after this much of effort.
12. He alone is blessed, who, without himself joining the company of the people given to the quality of passion, believes in the resplendent Lord Sri Rama - praised by this Tyagaraja.
