Meaning:
O Source of good things! Perfection! Meritorious! Bloomed lotus eyed! Wearing moon! Adorned with serpant! Having Feet worshipped by the divines! Having pretty feet like the dawn light! Remover of demons! Desirable! Beautifully hailed by Vedas! Beloved by Parvathi! Destroyer of Kaala! Of flawless form! Treasury of supreme mercy! Pleasant One for the lotus-like well-ornamented Parvathi! Remover of desire! Uplifter of the depressed! One who speaks words that soothe! Holding the fascinating deer! Shatterer of the ego of the insane people who quarrel in the name of religion! Guru of the sages! Benevolent! Protector of Tyagaraja.
