tuhina giri sutAvarAya - to the husband (vara) of the daughter(sutA) of the snow-mountain(tuhina giri)
caraNam 1
shankarAya - to Sankara who does good,
sAdhujana vashankarAya - to the one who wins over (vashankara) good (sadhu) people,
duSTa jana bhayankarAya - to the one terrible (bhayankara) to evil people
bhOgi bhUSaNAya - to the one has snakes(bhogi) as ornaments (bhushana).

I think bAlamuraLi in this context refers to the composer himself

Yes, of course. So it may be better to interpret the phrase as "one enchanted by the composer Balamurali's music"
