Meaning:
I became(“bhavami”) the devotee (“bhaktho”) of Vallabha Nayaka, the bestower (“daayaka”) of the desired boons (“vaanchitaartha”), seated on the mount (“vaahana”) of his choice, the mouse (“mooshika”).

His feet (“pada”) are as soft (“pallava”) as the tender shoots(“Mrudu tarasya”). He sports a noose (“pasha”), a goad (“ankusha”) and other (“aadi”) weapons in his hands (“tarasya”). He is adorned with garlands (“haara”) of Jaati (jasmine), champaka flowers and also with gem studded (“mani”) necklace (“maalasya”). He is the cause (“kaarana”) for bringing about the marriage (“vivaaha”) of Valli with Subramanya. He is worshipped (“pooji”) by Guruguha and adored (“sannuta”) by Kaali, Sarasvati (“kalaamalini”) and the lotus (“kamala”) eyed (“aakshi”) Lakshmi.
