At the death-bed, my focus be on You, ignoring all the pains!

At the deathbed, my focus be on You, ignoring all the pains!

Prayer from Atmarpanastuti of Appayya Dikshitar

Not looking at the eyes of the intimate ones that are muddied with the brimming tears, not hearing the wide cries of the tender ladies in the front, not considering the pain of the breath going out,

oh the God with the braid-locks, oh the One residing in the soul,

may my soul resort to Your two feet!

अत्युत्क्रान्तिश्रममगणयन्नन्तकालॆ कपर्दिन्

अङ्घ्रिद्वन्द्वॆ तव निविशतामन्तरात्मन्ममात्मा ॥ ३९ ॥
