Meaning

Oh, Rama!  Please protect me.  Oh, lord of the universe, the vanquisher of the dreadful demons!
You are more handsome than Cupid, are engrossed in bestowing the desired boons on your devotees.
Your feet are caressed by the son of wind-god Hanuman.  The beauty of your face surpasses that of the Parijata flower.  Oh, the savior!  You punished the demon who took the guise as a golden deer.  your beautiful forehead is adorned with the distinguished Tilaka made of substances like Kasturi and camphor.
You subdued the pride of the ocean with an arrow. Your form shines like sapphire.   You are adorned with a golden crown set with brilliant gems.  Your sweet smile enthralls Janaki.
You are adroit in annihilating all forms of miseries that afflict pious people.  Suzerain of all the worlds, your great virtues are sung by the celestials and sages.  You are the lotus-eyed lord Padmanabha who destroys all the impurities of the devotees.
