Meaning:
Raghuvira! Firm and inviolable like the Mount Maha Meru! Bestower of boons! Pray come! Let us feast our eyes on your emerald hue, your majestic and stately gait. Your lovely tresses, sporting ever the beautiful Kasturi Tilaka on your forehead, your blossoming cheeks, effulgent countenance and the dangling gold necklaces adorning your bosom. Destroyer of the wicked! Give us the privilege, the blessing, the rare good fortune of watching this grand spectacle.
