Meaning:
Why do people flock to you? They are all inclined with the same longing to experience lasting bliss. Ocean of benevolence!
Bestower of property! Abode of supreme wisdom! You are indeed the celestial gem which fulfills wishes and desires immediately.
Mother Sitadevi is fascinated by your peerless beauty and charm and is in a state of perpetual bliss. Lakshmana delights in responding to the slightest gesture of your eyes and serving you accordingly.
Bharata loses himself at the sight of your countenance radiating grace. Shatrughna experiences unalloyed joy in contemplating you as an embodiment of spiritual wisdom.
The mere thought of your feet lifts Anjaneya to the empyrian heights of devine trance. O abode of all auspicious attributes! Bestower of boons to Tyagaraja!
