brndAraka= devas . So brndArakAdhIsha = Indra. The whole meaning si "one whose lotus-feet(padAbja) is worshipped (vandita) by Indra"

indirAkucataTi :
The whole meaning is "one who beautiful body (cAru deham) is marked (ankita) by the chandana which Lakshmi applies on her bosom (kucataTi) " In other words , one embraced by Lakshmi.

I do not know who "karipuranAtha " is .

In my view 'kari pura' might refer to HastinApura and hence karipuranAtha may refer to yudhiShThira though conventionally it should refer to duryOdhana. In any case dharmaputra has equal rights to that title as the ultimate ruler of the kingdom!
I guess it is also vibhrAjita

You are absolutely right! karipuranAtha refers to YudhishTira because the next words are samrakshna tatparam meaning one who is always protecting Yudhishtira.
yes, it is vibhrajita.
