Meaning :

Krishna ! Come hither soon !
Show me your face!
Beautiful anklets adorn your feet! Sapphire bracelets on your arms!
Oh! Blue coloured one.. Please come hither dancing !
Waistbands with bells adorn your waist! Ring(s) on your finger(s) !
The divine Vaijayanthi necklace garlands your neck !
Sacred Saffron cloth from Kashi covers you ! (a) flute in your hand(s)!
Oh dear! Your body is anointed with sandal paste !
The one who showed his mother the universe in his mouth
That Benefactor of the world is our Udupi Shri Krishna !
