Meaning:
The Lord reclining on the serpent couch, protected sage Agastya, who had sipped the ocean dry. May he protect me as well! He is radiant with gem-studded crowns. He equals a million Cupids. He has the majestic gait of an elephant. He has a charming face. He is the Protector of the righteous. He has a beautiful array of teeth. He is worshipped by GaNEsha (the elephant-headed god). He is the embodiment of compassion. He is lotus-eyed. He has earned a place for himself in Tyagaraja's heart.
