Meaning

Oh, Hari! God of gods! I always depend upon you.
You are Padmanabha residing in the city of Anantapura.
I am a refugee who has fallen into the ocean of birth and death which is boundless.  Looking at me, who is thus suffering, does compassion not rise in your heart? I do not know what is good and what is evil!  I am like an infant.  How can the father neglect the child?  You are the support of the hapless.  Oh, Padmanabha! Give me happiness.
