Meaning
How can one describe the radiance of the autumnal moon-faced Lord Padmanabha, the beloved of Lakshmi, appearing on the attractive Garudavahana!
Decked up with beautiful earrings, in the shape of Makara (fish), bangles, anklets, gem-studded garlands, and golden yellow attire;
With all the darkness done away, since the devotees walk with lamp posts which compete with the rising sun;
The beautiful ladies who have decked up themselves are seen along with their beloved on the front yard of the houses on either side;
With warriors who make grief in the minds of enemies, walking with weapons and worshiping the Lord;
With devotees, delightfully holding different kinds of Vyajana (fans), Atapatra (umbrellas), Camara (fly flaps) etc. in their hands and ceremoniously serving the lord with enthusiasm;
With soldiers lead by their chives, parading on both sides and serving the Lord's feet with great joy;
With everyone walking in silence, brimming with devotion in their minds since the Lord is setting out for hunting.
