I have the lyrics, but I need the meaning of the krithi. Who is Swathi Thirunal is refering as "Sarasaksha" and Jagadeesha. Who is the main deity on which the song is composed

Sri Padmanabha!
Swati tirunal maharaj's beloved deity!

the last line has the mudar padmanabha, then the following adjectives make it more abvious - nIradAbha, vihagEshvara vAhana, kamalAdharanIvara

sarasaksha parpalayamam looks like a pada varnam. I want to attempt to choreograph for bharathanatyam.
Can anybody advice me whether i am setting foot on the right track?
