Meaning

Oh, Lord of Lakshmi!  The embodiment of beauty!  please protect me.  Why is this indifference of yours?
Destroyer of the pride of the sinful, your fame is sung by the celestial, oh pure one!
You sport in the lotus-like heart of the host of sages.  In anger, you destroy the demons.  Ocean of kindness!  you are to sins what a mighty wind is to the clouds.  Your lips are red like the Bimba fruit;  you are bedecked in gold.  You revel in totally destroying the sorrows of your devotees.  You are always skillful in bestowing boons.  Bhuvaneswara!  the lord of the universe!  Grant me good fortune.
Your visage is like the autumnal moon.  Your lustrous form is like the clouds.  scriptures praise you.  Your form is so lovely that it eclipses that of Cupid.  Your crescent-shaped forehead is adorned by the Kasturi mark.  Narada and Sanaka worship your feet.  You have teeth like jasmine buds.  You are the savior of all the sages and the celestials.
You have the sun and the moon for your eyes.  Brahma, Siva, and Narada worship you.  Oh, Master of Syanandurapura!  you wear the golden yellow hued dress on your most sweet form.  Oh, Padmanabha!  you dispel the fears of the holy ones.  You have a soft smile and an ocean of virtues.  Oh, beautiful one!  please deliver me from all my sins.
