Meaning:

Oh, Ranganatha who lies on the bed of snakes on waves of milky ocean,

the

Oh God, give us wisdom to search for your lotus feet and

get salvation

When the evil Somukha hid the four Vedas inside the

Ocean,

You later took the incarnation of fish to,

Bring them back to the earth and kill that bad one

When the Devas and Asuras churned the ocean to get

elixir, for lifting the Mandara mountain,

You took the form of a turtle with a curved hard back

When Goddess earth was hidden inside the seven oceans by that evil Hiranyaksha, a great sinner,

You took the form of a boar and lifted the entire earth.

On hearing the words of Hiranya "Where is he?" his son

replied that you are everywhere. "He is here in this dust and in that pillar," he said.

You took the incarnation of Narasimha, rose with great

anger, a very gigantic body and a big belly and tore with

your sharp claws his flesh apart and stood there spilling

his blood all around Oh lord who carries the conch and the wheel and who is

the basis of everything. Oh Lord Vamana who came asking for three feet of earth,

then measured earth by one one foot, heaven by another

and then measured the head of Mahabali, Oh Lord Parasuramsa, the enemy of solar dynasty after

you the soul of your father was taken by them,

Oh Lord, born as Dasaratha Rama, released devas from prison and killed Ravana and others,

Oh, Balarama who stood carrying the farmer's plough in

his hands having saved us from famine.

Oh, who took birth on Rohini star and Ashtami thidhi of

Avani month (August-September), Yasodha and Nanda's

son, grew with the Cowherds,

Who enjoyed company of ten thousand gopis, who

conducted the Mahabharatha war

Who is Gopalakrishna, the primeval root, who looks after all.

Being summoned by Kali age, when people are not scared

to commit the 5 great sins, engaging in fights, cheating and creating enmity, For Dharma flourish, you took the friendly incarnation of

Kalki,

Oh Lord who is very pretty, you are all the ten incarnations.
