Meaning

Oh the lord of the universe, the dear one.  The melody of your flute captivates my heart.  The son of Nanda, the savior of dejected ones.  You enslaved all the three worlds by the melody of your flute.  The meditation of your form brings bliss to all the celestials.  Your head is adorned with peacock feathers; on your neck lies pearl necklaces.  On your broad forehead shines the saffron Tilak.  Oh lord, Padmanabha, the lord of hapless ones, who can understand your exploits which is like the illusion between the sun and the moon that one cannot comprehend.
