Meaning: (From TK Govinda Rao’s book)

I salute Lord Swaminatha again (“namaste”) and again. He is the son (“suta”) of the eternal (“shashwatha”) Paramasiva, and helped (“sahaaya”) all(“sarva”)  the celestials (“deva”). He is enshrined(“sthithaaya”)  in Swamishaila and bestows (“daaya”) boons (“vara”). He is the spouse (“ramanaaya”) of Gajaamba and the brother (“soodhara”) of Lord Ganesha. He transcends (“atheetha”) the three (“thraya”) gunas and is of the imperceptible (“guhya”) form (“aakaaraya”). He is worshipped by Brahma and Indra (“ajeendra”). He showers (“daaya”) his grace(“phala”)  to those who take refuge(“aashritha”)  in him. He has the peacock (“varasiki”)  as his mount (“vaahanaaya”). He is of the form(“swaroopa”) of Guruguha.
