Meaning

Oh, Mankind! chant!, chant the glorious name of Hari.
It is the best of all; removes forever the fear of any calamity or death.  It is an easy way to assimilate the essence of Vedas and attain immortality. 
While it is the sacred prayer - Pavanamantra - to the downtrodden, it is the life-line Jivanatantra to Paramasiva
Why penance?  Why oblation?  why aspire for glory? why aspire to worldly comforts?
You can chant with devotion even when, in fear, to attain salvation or for a lively hood.
You can chat while bathing, drinking walking resting, singing, and while giving alms.
Meditate the lotus feet of Sripati in your heart while in discomfort or comfort and in all situations.
At the time of death or birth or any ailments, the chanting of Hari Nama will change the chemistry of the body & mind.  It is the maxim of the lifeline of eminent ages like Sanka and others.
Chant always the Namas like Sri Rama, Acyuta, Sri Ramana, Narayana, and Padmanabha.

Oh my, beloved!  Do not go away to far-off lands.  I will anoint you with Attar oil of roses, fragrant paste, and decorate with flowers.

You are decorated with fresh and flawless garlands.  Your eyes are like fresh lotuses. You reside on the banks of river Vahini.
Oh ! daughter of the mountain king, destroyer of the demons Canda and Munda, your hands shine with the trident.  You are beauty personified and your forehead shines lwith the Tilaka. You are full of compassion and are the savior of the good.  Your feet are beautiful like the tender leavs of the Kalpaka tree.
You show the power of your hands against Mahishasura and other demons.  You are worshiped by those devoid of ego. Your teeth conquers the beauty of jasmine buds.  Your lips resemble the red hibiscuss.  Your face is like the moon.  You are like the soft-blowing Malaya breeze.  Please sport in my heart.
You are most sacred.  You are the sister of Padmanabha.  Your tresses are black.  You ride on the lioness.  You destroy the affliction of your devotees. You are Gauri-the fair one.  You are worshiped by Devas lead by Indra.  Oh! one who removes the burden of sinds, kindly be compassionate to me.
