Meaning
Oh, Madhava! Protect me forever constantly with your grace.
Your forehead adorns the pure Kasturi Tilaka; you ride on Garuda the enemy of the serpent; Oh Padmanabha! You are the lord of the three worlds.
Your auspicious lotus feet will bring happiness forever, you've destroyed the emperor of Cedi Sisupala; you are praised by Indra; you are the refuge of the hapless; leader of Yadav dynasty; adorned with the Kirita shining like the sun; your face resembles the flawless moon and you have no equals.
You have the blue hue of the water-bearing cloud; your glorious exploits are capable of removing the miseries of the entire world; you are soft-spoken; you subdued the pride of Indra by holding aloft the mountain; you have long eyes like the lotus petals you take delight in the melodious Samagana and you are most lovely.
You recline on the serpent; annihilate all the miseries of those who worship you; the abode of virtues; you are the embodiment of consciousness, oh lord of the universe, you have the gait of the king elephant; worshiped by Narada and others; you majestically reside in the ocean. Oh, son of Nanda! You protected the king elephant and you are the Kalpaka tree.
