Meaning
Oh, Karunakara! Madhava! Having effulgent golden attire! Protect me!
You vanquished the demon Mura; Lord of the universe; the beauty of your face excels moon in beauty; Victory to you always; oh Hari!
Annihilator of sin; Your virtues are praised bys ages; You protect the world; You took the form of a cowherd; bless me with auspiciousness; You are worshiped by celestials as well non-celestials.
You are worshiped by virtuous ones; please reside in y heart. You have Tilaka on your forehead; You remove lustful passion; Your auspicious form is worshiped by Siva and Brahama; You are the progenitor of Cupid. You are eternal.
You are kind enough to those who bow at your feet; You recline on the serpent; oh Lord Pakajanabha! Destroyer of enemies; You have eyes resembling the lotus and you removed the fear of the king elephant.
