Meaning:
Sri Naarada! Like a bee humming around the lotus, you gyrate round sacred "Nada" dispensing divine music. (Alt: The honey-bee drinking from the lotus of Nada). One with an auspicious form. Protector of the honor of the forsaken and helpless devotees! Lord of the World! One with a face as radiant as the moon! One who knows well the technique of playing on the veena, which has its origin in the Vedas. (alt: You are adept in eliciting out of the veena, its genuine and unique musical sounds characteristic of the Veda.) One who is free from the three kinds of torments that cause distress. (alt: O dispeller of all the three kinds of ills which plague mortals!) Worshipped by devas ! Formost among sages and dear to Sri Krishna born in the Yadava race, you enjoy perpetual bliss as you are immersed in devotion. O giver or wealth and prosperity! Worshipped by Tyagaraja who need and craves for your care and protection.

Composed as thanks to Sage Narada, as described here.
