Wonderfully sung here:

I have roman-transliterated it as best as I have deciphered, using IAST:
sārade karunānidhe
sakalān avāmba sadā janān
cāraṇādi mahita vaibhava
pūritākhila diktaṭe

dharmabhūśaṇa bhūśite
vara ratna mauḷi virājite
śarmadāyini karmamocani
nirmalaṃ kuru mānasam

hasta sandhṛta pustakākṣapaṭi sudhāghaṭamudrike
kastavāsti hi varṇane caturo narakhecaro' thavā

Last line as I see it:
kah= Who hi=indeed asti=is there, nara=man khecaro'thavā=or aerial being, caturo=capable of tava varṇane=describing your glory.

[Rajani]

Thanks Sachi Sir. I made corrections to diktate and athavaa based on your inputs.

[Sachi_R]

🖐

[rshankar]

Rajani and Sachi: thank you!
Some of these compositions do not traipse off one's tongue like say the compositions of Sri Muddusvami Dikshitar, making it tougher to understand.

[Sachi_R]

Yes.

[aaaaabbbbb]

Rajani,

Thanks for the lovely translation.

God bless you.

Regards

[Rajani]

Thank you Ravi and Savitriji.

[Sachi_R]

Our home is resonating with this song in a loop for some days now

Rajani-ji,
I think the word in the first charana is
bharmabhūśaṇa bhūśite
bharma means gold (MW) so gold ornament.

bharma also means navel. So navel-ornament!

[Sachi_R]

So final version from my side:

sārade karunānidhe
sakalānavāmba sadā janān
cāraṇādimahītavaibhava
pūritākhiladiktaṭe

bharmabhūśaṇabhūśite
vararatnamauḷivirājite
śarmadāyini karmamocini
nirmalaṃ kuru mānasam

hastasandhṛta pustakākṣapaṭīsudhāghaṭamudrike
kastavāsti hi varṇane
caturo narah
khacaro' thavā

[vidya raja]

Thank you Very much for the meaning Rajani and Sachi Sir. I have also yes the word is BharmaBhushana Bhusite .
I also got the translation from Prof Mahadevan retd VC of Sanskrit Vidya Peetham.

1.Oh Mother Sarada! Treasure of all mercy! Protect all the people always, You whose holy benign grace sung by the Vedas, the demigods and the human beings reverberates all over the quarters (directions) (Chaaranas are believed to be the divine singers and also are the bards in the King's court).
The reading chaarana also can be interpreted as the taddhita form of charana - her holy feet.
2. Decked with glittering gold ornaments , a crown studded with precious stones, the giver of all comforts, reliever of people's bonds of karma, please help us to keep our hearts blemishless.
3. Also adorned by a book, a garland of
rudraaksha and the pot of nectar! Who on earth among (men) or elsewhere (the bards or the Gods) is capable of describing you in totality

[Sachi_R]

A scholar has pointed out a typo.

It should be
śārade and not sārade


There is another thing. The Sringeri website and books write it as
cāraṇādimagīta....
(notice g in place of h)

My knowledge of Sanskrit is inadequate to explain that
But I feel the meaning we have arrived at will remain unaffected.

Postscript: 'ma' one of the meanings is Brahma.
