Meaning: Courtesy: http://www.swathithirunal.in/htmlfile/224.htm

Oh Lord with eyes (“lochana”) like lotus flower (“pankaja”) protect me (“pAhi”). You, the vanquisher of demon MURA (“mura-antaka”).

You are the beloved (“jIvanAtha”) of goddess LAKSHMI (“pankajAlayA”). You are the supreme one (“vibhO”).

You are eulogized (“nuta”) for your virtues (“guNa”) by SANKARA, BRAHMA (“vidhi”) and INDRA (“valashAsana”).

Always (“satatam”) grant me (“mE”) good fortunes (“shamkuru”), oh Lord PADMANABHA (‘sArasanAbha”)! SAURE!

Oh Lord SRI NARASIMHA! You tore to shreds with your nails, the fierce-oppressor of the three worlds, the demon HIRANYAKASIPU and saved his son PRAHLADA, who worships your lotus feet.

Oh Lord SRI RAGHUVIRA! You honored the words of your father, and exiled yourself to the forest. You destroyed RAVANA with single arrow, as he had abducted your wife, the most beautiful and virtuous, and returned along with her to SAKETA victoriously.

Oh son of NANDA! Your from is exquisitely bewitching (“sundaratara rUpa”)! You are the bee (“madhupa”) hovering over the lotus like (“sarasIruha”) faces (“mukha”) of the cowherd damsels immersed in bliss (“AnanditAbhIra nArI vrnda”).

… you amused yourself in BRNDAVANA (“vrndAvanAnta krtavi vidha sukha vihara”)

Oh Lord with teeth like jasmine buds (“kunda nibharadagOvinda”)… Oh son of NANDA! (“nanda nandana”).
