Meaning:
In this song, Annamaacaarya praises the beauty and charm of Lord VenkaTEshwara. When the Lord walks gracefully, the camphor on his body sprinkles and as the goddess sits on his lap it seems as if he is covered by moonlight. The glittering ornaments worn by the Lord join the charisma of the goddess and seem like a lightning joins hands with the glitter and charisma.
