Meaning

Oh, Sarasanabha!  The one who lifted up the Mandara mountain, the one who redeemed mother Earth from her misery, parent of Cupid, suzerain of the universe, victory to you.
Adorned with sweet-smelling flowers, Oh Mukunda!  You are the paragon of virtues.  Oh, Garuda Gamana!  Protector of the elephant king, you are the annihilator of a host of demons,  refuge of your devotees, ocean of compassion, bestower of boons, and savior to those who surrender unto you.
Oh, lotus-eyed lord!  Obliterator of afflictions of the world!  Remover of arrogance!  Your radiant face is attractive like the full moon.  Oh, Sucartita! Dispel my despair and grant me immortality.
Oh, Madhumura Mukha faced with demons Madhu and Mura!  The lord of the thousand fanged serpents Adisesha and the eagle king Garuda!  Giver of bliss!  Protect me.  Oh, benefactor of the universe!  I surrender unto thy lotus feet;  without tarrying bestow thy grace on me.
