Meaning:
O Lord, with the majestic gait of a large elephant! O protector of the lotus-like hearts of the saintly! O Krishna, whose fame transcends time!
O Expounder of the nectar-like music arising from sAma vEda! Thou of great qualities and mercy! Care for me.
The acme of the vEdas! O Light in the mountain of music, based on the seven swaras of Goddess Saraswati! Member of the yAdava clan! Player of the flute! O mysteriously attractive Lord, worshipped by tyAgarAja!
