Meaning:
Eternal salutations to Shri Raaghava, worshipped by sage Shuka. He is ever closely related to all who have none else to depend on, ocean of mercy that he is. He eliminates the sins of devotees as the sun dispels darkness. He is a patron of worthy poets. He grants the wishes of genuine devotees, just as the Kalpaka tree does. He is mentor of gods like Brahma, Shiva, and other celestials. He is concerned with the welfare of innocent and pious devotees. He is the destroyer of Raakshasaas. He is infinitely wise. He confers health, longevity, and prosperity on worthy followers. He lies on the snake AadisEsha and is fond of fresh butter. He is the sole witness of all that happens in the universe. With hands long and powerful like the trunk of a royal elephant, he flung the mighty Subaahu to the distant ocean by a single arrow. He is the protector of AadisEsha and Tyaagaraaja.
