Meaning
Oh lord, Anantapadmanabha! please protect me. You are the repository of noble virtues.
Your face is like the full moon. Just as the sun drives away the darkness, you remove the sorrows of those who worship your feet.
Your raiments outshine molten gold. You nurture the clan of Devas, like Indra. You destroyed the fierce demons like Madhu.
Your wondrous exploits are adored by Brahma and Siva.
Sun and Moon are your eyes. You are adorned with a divine diadem, bracelet, and hip chain. You are to the hearts of sages like Sanka and others, what sun is to the lotus. You have an exquisite form with Vanamala in abundance.
Your smile, sweet, soft, and unhurried speech is nectarine. Your beautiful form attracts the entire universe. The progenitor of Cupid, you give happiness to good people. Your wrath becomes visible on the battlefield.
