Meaning: (approximate)

I meditate (“upAsmahE”) daily (“nityam”) upon sri ranganatha. He is the consort (“vallabham”) of sita. He is meditated (“vEdyam”) upon by Sankara and Guru Guha.

He is worshipped (“nuta”) by Narada and others (“nArad-Adi”). His neck (“gAtram”) is dark in color (“shyAmaLa”). He has lovely eyes (“su-nEtram”) which are like the lotus (“niranjAri”) and martanda. He is brave (“dhIrataram”). He holds (“dharaNam”) the bow and arrows (“sharacApa”). His feet (“caraNam”) are prayed (“pUjitAbja”) to by Indra, the king of devas (“dEva-rAja”).
