Meaning:
pallavi: neeraajanam (haarati, benediction) to the daughter of the milky ocean, to the goddess shree mahaa lakshmi, and to the one whose abode is a lotus.
caraNam 1: To the face of the lady jalajAkshi, one with eyes like lotus petals, and to her pert breasts, benediction with camphor (karpooram). To her mass of hair (aLivENi, one with hair dark), thick like a swarm of dragonflies (tummedalu), and to her lotus hands, benediction with gems.
caraNam2: With poise, in daytime she became the supreme consort of shree venkaTEsha, queen of the land - to such lady's virtues, benedictions. In this whole world, ever fresh benedictions only to alamElu manga's beauty.
