In translation: One who is a Vaishnav, feels and understands the pain of others Does good to others, especially to those who are in misery Does not let pride enter his mind, A Vaishnav, honours and praises the the entire world Does not criticize or say bad things about anyone Keeps his words, actions and thoughts pure O Vaishnav, your mother is blessed A Vaishnav sees everything and rejects greed and avarice Respects women especially some His toungue may get tired, but He does not even touch someone everyone equally, one else's wife as his mother will never speak lies else's property

A Vaishnav does not succumb to worldly attachments Who has devoted himself to staunch detachment from worldly pleasures Who has been addicted to the elixir of the name of God For whom all the sacred places of pilgrimage are in the mind Who has no greed and is not deceitful Who has renounced lust and anger The poet Narsi would like to see such a person By whose virtue, his entire family gets salvation
