Both are Lord Venkatesa's Maya. But I was fettered in the service for others where as I have absolute freedom in the service of the Lord of my heart.

In this Padam Annamaiah compares the world to a village market,living beings to buyers,accumulated punyam and papam to cash. He says that Sri Venkatesa is watching the transactions from above.

Wealth,women and festivity are abundant. Lift as much as you can on your heads. Sri Venkatesa is there above to evaluate and bestow what one deserves.
