Meaning:
O son of Dasharatha! Ocean of mercy! Destroyer of demons! O celebrity in verse, no less a person than sage Paraashara! Dweller in the hearts of divine poets! Good fortune and treasure of devotees! O sarasijanaabha! Cloud-hued! Protector of GajEndra! Bliss of devotees! One who stooped down from empyrean heights to befriend monkeys. O effulgent sun which destroys the darkness of ingnorance and sins!
