A couple of corrections::
In the anupallavi, the word'cigura' is 'cikura'
In the last line of carana 'samadana' is 'sAmadAna"{?}
The meaning::
Protect me Govinda you have soft lotus like feet.[p]
You relieved the misery of the elephant which served you.
You grant salvation[mukunda] you have a brilliant mass of dark
hair.[a p.]
All beings reside in you.[vasudeva] You have lotus like
eyes,brilliant face, like the moon in autumn.
You are with Lakshmi. You protect your devotees
by the method of sama and dana [humane ways and gifts]
Your eyes resemble the lotus.Your attire is of shining gold.[c]

Smt. Savitri - thanks you! I love the concept of sAma dAna. Sri Tyagaraja describes the Lord as 'sarasa sAma dAna bhEda daNDa caturA'...

Sir,
In the text the word is ‘shamadhana’
But it was not found any where.
So I am writing the meaning taking
the word in question as ‘samAdhAna’
which means ‘solution’
‘You protect your devotees
by finding solutions’
May I request Rajani to check?
