Meaning

I  meditate upon the Lord of Janki who is the ocean of mercy.
He destroys the sorrow produced by the heavy Samsara.  His eyes are lovely like the petals of a blue lily.
He is beautiful like a million Cupids.  His forehead shines with the unique Kasturi Tilaka.  He is an expert in destroying the wicked Rakshasa.  His garment is golden and he destroyed the wicked Tataka.
His feet are worshiped by the brave monkeys.  His face is lovely like the autumnal moon.  He destroyed wicked demons like Khara with his fist. His bow and arrows destroy all enemies.  He is the celestial tree to the helpless.
His gentle smile is like Jasmine.  He is worshiped by the host of celestials.  He takes residence in Saketapura.  He is the abode of great excellence.  His hair is dark as the blue lotus.
