Meaning

Oh, Padmanabha! Protect me always. Vanquisher of the demon Mura!
Give me the privilege of serving your, oh the abode of charming virtues!
You are an expert in removing the afflictions of those who prostrate at your feet;  soft-smiling and giver of joy to the minds of sages!
Your beautiful form resembles the hue of cloud; your face is like the autumnal moon; give me all prosperity.
You are the progenitor of Cupid;  you have beautiful eyes like lotus petals; you have a great story; please dwell in my heart.
