This is a lyrical masterpiece of devotion of Vishnu by Sri Yamunacharya, the predecessor of Sri Ramanuja. Sanskrit text, with English transliteration, translation and notes.
This I have seen in life -- those who are overcautious about themselves fall into dangers at every step; those who are afraid of losing honor and respect, get only disgrace; and those who are always afraid of loss, always lose.
-Swami Vivekananda
