 Meaning

Let my mind worship lord Padmanabha! He is adored by Gagadhara! Let lord Padmanabha reside in the hearts of the sages who are devoid of attachments like the ever-hovering bees over the lotus.  He is the conqueror of the demons-the sons of Diti.  He held aloft the great mountain.  He resposes on the king of the serpent.  He is adorned in golden rainment.  He is more beautiful than Cupid.  He is the exponent of the sentiment of love.
