Meaning:
Oh, Mind ! Undertake your pilgrimage in the Brahmam ! May the hairlock of Brahma, meditated upon by you, be adorned with the plumes of an exhilarated peacock ! The cheeks of the Supreme One outwit the brightness of a mirror ! He sports around in the fort of the breast-hillocks of Mahalakshmi ! For his devotees, He is a Kalpavriksha in the court yard ! Supreme ascetics delight in that face-moon as a partridge bird ! Oh, Mind! May your pilgrimage be in this Brahma that fills the whole Universe with the flow of the music from His Bansuri(flute)
