MEANING: (From TK Govinda Rao’s book)
Lo Behold (“Alokaye”) the Lord of Venkatagiri, mounted on the non pareil Garuda (“gaarudham”)- the
king (“naayaka”) of birds (“Vi”).
He is the Lord worshipped (“Pujitha”) by Indra (“Devesha”) and dazzles (“Prakaashavantham”) with
the brilliance of crores (“koti”) of suns (“Dinakara”). He is Govinda – the bestower of salvation,
extolled (“Brundham”) by a host of virtuous (“nata”) people (“Bhusura”). He is Mukunda, who delights
(“anandam”) Guruguha.
He is the AnthaPadmanaabha in the company (“Sametham”) of Alamelumanga. The transcendental
one the cognizable one (“pratyaksha vibhaatam”) this age (“Yuga”) of Kali, and is surrounded by
Brahma (“Kanja”) and other (“aadi”) celestials. His resplendent form is like that of the dark
(“Jaladhara”) cloud (“sannibha”). The sun (“jalaruha”) and the moon (“mitrabja”) are his eyes
(“Netram”). He dwells in the Gokarna Kshetra, which dispels (“apaha”) all the sins (“Kalusha”). He is
the repository (“paatram”) of compassion (“karunarasa”) and the embodiment of pure consciousness
(“chinmaatram”).
