        Viveka-śatakam


                               Translation
        For one who is hearing the nectarean topics about You,
        where  are  the  threefold  miseries?  Where  is  the  cycle
        of birth and death? Where is distress, madness, sensual
        enjoyment,  anger  or  lust?  Where  is  greed,  ignorance,
        envy  or  fear  of  death? Which  intelligent  person  would
        not  honour  the vibrant  narrations  about Your  qualities
        from the mouth of saintly devotees?
