Meaning: (From TKG’s book)

I worship Lakshmi Varaaha, who is with Lakshmi and gives happiness to those who take refuge in Him.

Whose body is dark like monsoon cloud, who is the object of praise by Nilaadevi and Bhudevi. He is the friend of Nilakanta, the blue-necked one and Guruguha. He removes fear and miseries from all the devotees.

Whose feet is adorned by the auspicious Raga Abhogi, He is worshipped by virtuous, praised by Vedas. He delights Sankara, enriches Kubera, the God of wealth. He adorns conch and discus, full of compassion, worshipped by Brahma and other important ones. He is meditated upon by Lakshmi with the Lotus face, adorns garland of lotus. He resides on the banks of the river Tamraparni. He absolves obstacles and is always blissful.
