MEANING (from TK Govinda Rao’s book):

Victory (“Jayathi”)  to Lord Guruguha, who is adorned (“bhaja”) by all Gods(“santhatham”)  beginning with Vishnu. Oh! Mind! Constantly contemplate on the fact  (“iti”) that you are the Chidaanandanaatha.

He is the originator of different (“naaana”) diversified (“vichitra”)  forms (“aakaro”) of worlds (“prapancha”). He manifests  (“rupa”) as the five (“pancha”) elements (“bhuta”) and as the named (“naama”) and famed ones. He is the mighty sun (“bhaskaro”) destroying (“prachanda”) the darkness (“dvantha”) of ignorance (“ajnana”). He is the bestower (“pradaayako”) of spiritual knowledge (“jnaana”). He is the Maheshvara.

He is the divine (“divya”) Kalpaka Vruksha (“vano dyukta”) for the afflicted (“dinaa”) ones. He bears the sacred rivers like Mandakini. He is adept in granting happiness to the heart of His devotees. May my Guru bless me (“mangalam karo”).

He (who) is the substratum (“adhistaano”) for this illusory (“maayaa maya”) world (“visva”). He (who) is to be invoked through mantra (“mataanusthaano”) beginning with “Ka” (“kaadi”), ending with “ma” (“maatmaka”). He resides (“vidhaano”) in the center (“mandalaanta”) of the Malini-Chakra. He (who) is to be meditated (“dhyano”)  upon as the swan (“Hamsa”) representing the AJAPAA Mantra.

He who is an expert in obliterating (“hino”) the result (“kalana”) of MAAYA, the illusion. HE resides in my heart which is like a thousand (“sahasra”) petalled lotus (“kamalaasino”). Who enjoys the nectar (“amruta”) of mellifluous (“madhurya”) music (“Gaana”). He provides (“pradaano”) sheltor (“abhaya”) and boons (“vara”)  to MAADHAVA and others. Whose Brahmasvarupa is veiled (“sabalitha”) by Maaya. Whose  beauty (“sundara svarupo”) excels that of crores (“koti”) of Cupids (“mara”). Who shines as the light (“deepo”) atop the tower (“gopura”) like the heart (“hrudaya”) of his devotees (“matimataam”).

He who vanquished the proud (“matta”) SURA and others (“adi”). His place of abode is worshipped by the kinds (“mahipathi”) of Mayamalavagoula Desha and the like. Who shines (“prakaasha”) as surrounded by Vishnu (“madhava”) and other Gods (“brundha”). Who impounded (“upadesha”) the real truth (“mahaartha”) of Pranava to His father, Mahesha.
