Meaning

Oh Lord of celestials!  Abode of virtues!  Protector of Helpless! Protect me.
Oh immaculate lord, giver of auspiciousness! Sriman Adikesava!  You are an expert in removing the sins of those who bow of your feet.
YOu recline on Adishesha, your teeth are like a mirror, you are the slayer of the wrathful demon Kesi, your eyes are like lotus,  Garuda is your vehicle, your face is shining with the golden necklace, your form is equal to million Cupids.
Oh, Vasavanuja!-brother of Indra (in vamanavatara) You make everyone happy with your soft speech, your dresses glitter like lighting, your charming smile outshines the beauty of jasmine, you adom shining golden bracelets, you destroyed the pride of Brahama, and shine with garlands of wildflowers.
Your feet are praised by great sages like Narada, you wiped out the fear of all the afflicted ones, you walk like the king-elephant, you removed the fear of all helpless people and that you removed the fear of elephant.  Oh, Vanajanabha! Madhava! please protect me!
