Meaning:
Lord! Mounted on GaruDa, son of Vinata, what a grand spectacle you present! Let me prostrate before you again and again to my heart’s content. What is life worth if one is not looking at you everyday? Is not your darshana the sole remedy for all the ills of the world ? Where is the need for that kind of worthless life which involves cruelty to others? What is the use of indulging in fruitless arguments with confirmed atheists and non-believers? Their company should be avoided scrupulously. Only association with the pious and righteous will lead to happiness. O Protector of Devas!
