Starting with one, yielding in two,
We can witness the three worlds!
Forgetting tomorrow, as the anxious heart grows brave,
We can bathe in bliss like a flowing river!

Trivia
In this song from Kulakozhunthu (1981), lyricist Kannadasan humorously subverted traditional imagery by substituting the classic milk-and-butter offerings associated with Lord Krishna with modern carbonated drinks like Coca-Cola, brought to life by L. R. Eswari's signature energetic vocal style.
