Meaning

Oh God of the three worlds! Give happiness forever and quickly relieve me from miseries.
Oh, Ambujanabha!  You are beautiful as Cupid, drove away from the fear of Gajendra; the esteemed supreme being revered by celestials and sages.
YOu are the destroyer of the enemies of celestials; your speech is as sweet as nectar;  you are the perennial spring residing in the hearts of sages;  you are worshiped by Brahma.
One who granted enormous wealth to Kucela; worshiped by Kubera and noble poets.  Your hair can surpass the dense clouds and your smile is bright.
You reduced the ever-increasing burden of the earth.  You are to Rama what clouds are to the earth.  You are the axe that cuts asunder the mountain like evils.  Do reside in my heart forever.
