Meaning
Lord Sarasanabha appears in the Sibika palanquin!
While the celestials shower the flowers from the Kalpaka tree;
While the minds of the sages are overwhelmed with joy;
while Indra's city in the heaven echoes the sound of Bheri (the kettle drum);
While the musicians like Gandharvas (celestial musicians) sing;
While people assemble with excitement, as the bees swarm on a lotus, the lord Padmanabha appears and marches in procession!
