P: (I) always/continually (aharniSam) depend (avalaMbE) on the big-bellied (lambOdaram) son (sutam) of pArvatI (ambA)
AP: who is revered by (vinutam) by the celestial sages tumburu and nArada, and whose heavy/pendulous curls (laMbAlakam) frame his elephant (ibha) face (vadanam).
C: Both the gods (sura) as well as the brahmins (bhUsura) offer worship (saMsEvitam) at the feet (caraNam) of the Lord who destroys (vidUram) sins (agha). He is like the mount mandAra (mandAram) to those that seek refuge (SaraNAgata) in him. He is an ocean/repository (sAgaram) of compassion (karuNA). He is the brave (dhIram) brother (sOdaram) of kArtikEya (guha) who destroyed (haram) the pride (garva) of the moon (hariNAnka). He holds (dharam) the excellent (vara) noose (pASa) and hook (ankuSa) in his hands, and is the benefactor (varam) of his devotee (bhakta), SrI vAsudEvAcAr (vAsudEva).

Just one small correction. mandAra is one of the 5 Kalpaka (wish-fulfilling) trees of Heaven.
