अप्पय्य दीक्षितस्य वैराग्य शतक - शरणं चरणं महेशस्य

भव्यमभव्यं वा नः प्रलिखतु वेधाः सुदुर्मेधाः ।
सव्यमसव्यं वा नः शरणं चरणं महेशस्य ॥

- अप्पय्य दीक्षितस्य वैराग्य शतक

bhavyam abhavyam vA naH pralikhatu vedhAH sudurmedhAH ।
savyam asavyam vA naH sharaNam charaNam maheshasya ॥

- appayya dIkShitasya vairAgya shataka

Let the creator write prosperity or misery in my fate. I would not bother.Either way I will bow down to the left or the right foot of the Lord. It does not matter whether it is misery or prosperity when the destination is the Lord himself.

अप्पय्य दीक्षितस्य वैराग्य शतक - विषय सुख

निध्यायसि विषयसुखं न ध्यायसि विषममस्य परिपाकम् ।
बंधुं तमेव चिंतय बंधुं मोक्तुं च यः क्षमते ॥

- अप्पय्य दीक्षितस्य वैराग्य शतक

nidhyAyasi viShayasukham na dhyAyasi viShamam asya paripAkam ।
bandhum tameva chintaya bandhum mOktum cha yaH kShamate ॥

- appayya dIkShitasya vairAgya shataka

You are attaching yourself to worldly pleasures, not fully understanding the misery that follows. You should be thinking about God who alone can help you both attain attachment and detachment. He is the only attachment that one must have.
