Meaning
- I adore Lord Venkatesha — whose smile radiates grace, who holds the conch and discus, adorned with gem necklaces, dark as the raincloud, and clad in golden silk.
- With a hand bestowing fearlessness, a bright waist-belt of jewels, and knees shining with divine light — He is Padmanabha, the support of the universe.
- Ever-pure, sky-like, the cause of creation, knowable through the Vedanta, radiant and infinite — the embodiment of Sat-Chit-Ananda (existence, consciousness, bliss).
- With Goddess Lakshmi seated on His left side, worshipped by Brahma and Rudra, the auspicious and tranquil one, source of peace and liberation — I bow to Him.
- Attainable by great yogis, resplendent in cosmic form, Lord of the worlds, the serene and meditative Venkatesha — I worship You.
- I praise Him who took forms as Matsya (Fish), Kurma (Tortoise), Varaha (Boar), Narasimha (Man-Lion), Vamana (Dwarf), and Parashurama, to protect creation.
- I revere the eternal Lord, who incarnated also as Buddha and Kalki, sustaining the world through His divine play and compassion.
