கேடு இல் விழுப் புகழ்க் கேசவனை குருகூர்ச் சடகோபன் சொன்ன,
பாடல் ஓர் ஆயிரத்துள் இவை ஒரு பத்தும் பயிற்ற வல்லார்கட்கு, அவன்

English translation of verse 3.10.11:
Those that can recite these songs ten,
Out of the ṭhousand composed by kurukūr Caṭakōpaṉ
In adoration of Kēcavaṉ of undying fame.
Will in His service be enlisted and granted by Him
Heavenly bliss, well in sight of the men of this world,
And made the sole monarchs of all His worlds.
Note
Those that can recite these ten stanzas will be blessed by the Lord, right here, with spiritual fervour of universal fame and, on their ascent to Heaven, He would invite them to rule over it.
