Meaning:

I seek the refuge in Soundara Raaja, who protected the Gajeendra in the forest of elephants and He is the top most in granting boons .

He is the darling son of Nanda, he is the ruler of Naagapattana. He is the spouse of the lovely Lakshmi . He is praised by the celestials and He is the King of the Universe .

Whose lotus face is lit with smiles , whose lotus like hand holds the Mandara mountain.

Whose lotus-like eyes gives happiness to everyone and he possess the beautiful shining lotus-like feet .

He is the father of the enemy of Siva -- Cupid. He is saluted by Shuka and Shaunaka. He protects devotees like Ambarisha. He is the eternal joy of Guruguha. He is worshipped by Brahma , praised by Indra and other celestials.

He supressed the pride of the ocean - Samudra. He is the remover of the afflictions emerging out of falsehood and ignorance . Whose neck equals the conch in beauty, who destroyed the ten-headed Raavana. He is Srikanta, praised by the sage Tumburu. He removes sorrow and abides in Vaikunta.
