I meditate upon VANAJAKSHA-the lotus eyed. Oh the conqueror of demons; brother of INDRA!; MUKUNDA!
The Lord with flawless moon-like charming face. The one with blue hue and is praised by celestials and demi-gods. One who is draped in the attire that excels gold. Protector of the devoted ones, who prostrate at His lotus feet. One who is PADMANABHA.
Worshipped by the sages like AGASTYA, SAUNUKA and the son of BRAHMA. You are the incomparable sharp axe in cutting down the multitude of sins; adorned with various shining ornaments; eyes that are brimming with compassion, and mighty as the mountain. Oh PADMANABHA!
You hold conch, disc, mace and lotus. The embodiment of virtues; praised by the people of the world; your effulgent form equals that of Cupid. Oh PADMANABHA! You dwell in SYANANDURAPURA and worshipped.
