Meaning:
Oh One with the radiant hue of the emerald! Pray be aware of the yearning
of my mind. Oh Protector of devotees from shame and disgrace! Oh
Benefactor of the solar race! You are the sole refuge and none else. Oh
Aananda Hriday - the One with a heart brimming over with bliss! In the
past, as my kindly Lord, you protected me with affection and compassion
but of what avail is it if you do not deign to clasp my hand and grace me
when I need you most?

Other information:
Often thought to be composed in (and performed in) hindOLam, the song is actually in varamu (varam, suddha hindOLam), which has the higher chatushruti dhaivatam.
