Well, after many years, came across the recording and transcribed the lyrics - just need a clarification/two.

rāga: suraṭi tāḷa: tiśralaghu

maṅgaḷamu gururāja maṅgaḷamu surabhōja (bh/b/p/ūja?) (surabhōja sounds correct - roughly means delighter of the divine, i.e. through his paens of verse, poetry and song)

maṅgaḷamu śrīguru rāghavēndrā

baṅgāru kavacamunu śrṅgāra mugadālcu
maṅgalācaritunaku jayamaṅgaḷam
saṅgīta jalanidhiki śubhamaṅgaḷam

śrī mūlarāmunaku cinmayarūpunaku
śrī māta jānakiki śubhamaṅgaḷam
sādhvi śirōmaṇiki śubhamaṅgaḷam

śrīmadvasanmuniki śrībhīmavaradunaku - (Can someone elaborate on this line - does this refer to the lineage of guru-s?)
śrīmantrapurapatiki jaya maṅgaḷam
śrī bālamuraḷiki śubhamaṅgaḷam

The Haridasa lineage is available here. But it only covers from Purandaradasa onwards.

sura-bhUja means kalpa-vrkSa. A guru can be compared to the (divine) wish-fulfilling tree since he grants the devotees' wishes.

maṅgalācaritunaku - should only be mangaLa-caritunaku.

śrīmadvasanmuniki - shrI-madhva-sanmuniki - Madhva and BhIma are part of the Dvaita theology. VAyu is a deity who incarnates in each yuga as hanumAn, bhIma and Madhva.
