Meaning

Oh lord, I pay obeisance to you every day with my Karanatrayam- mind, speech, and body.
Your form resembles the dark clouds.  You remove the sufferings of the learned ones.
I enthrone you on a seat bedecked with precious nine gems, and with great deference, I anoint you with fragrant and cool waters.  Oh, protector of this world! What else can be called as good fortune than serving you thus?
Oh lord with eyes resembling lotuses! I worship you with flowers like jasmine, the sacred Tulasi held in a golden basket.  I offer you the lighted lamp and cooked food.  I pray to you every day like this, my lord Padmanabha!
