Can someone post the lyric and meaning of Deekshitar's 'IshAnAdi shivAkara manchE' ?

Here is a great rendition of this song by G.Ravi Kiran ... http://www.sangeethapriya.org/noauth.ph ... ikiran.mp3

Meaning
Pallavi :
Prostrations to gauri -
The one that is seated on the cot that is the form of Shiva and has the 5 forms like Ishana as its props on the left side of shiva Kameshwara

Samashti Charanam:
The one who is worshipped as Sarasvathi and Lakshmi on either side; The form of Shrngara; The one adored by Shyamala Devi and Bagala devis the one whose lotus feet is skilled in removing the evil desires; the complete one praised by Vishnu and guruguha, enemy of Mura; the one who has the 5 flowered arrows ; the one who is in the center of the SriCakra which is a representation of space time, things and form.

[My editing : original says "the complete one praised by Vishnu enemy of Mura and guruguha" - which does not seem to be right. ]
