Meaning

Pallavi:
O mahalakSmi, the daughter of kSirAbhdi (tiruppArkaDaL), whom are you going become a wife of?

Charanam1:
Will you marry SRI rAmAchandra mUrti who built the bridge (with the help of the monkeys)?
Will you marry SRI ananta padmanAbhan, the PARAMATMA, residing in tiruvanantapuram?
Will you marry SRI janArdhanA, who has the "primodial lotus" (residing in varkaLA near tiruvanantapuram)?
Will you marry SRI ranganAtA who resides in SRIrangam (near tirucchirApaLLi, tamizh nADu) and SRIrangapaTNam (near maisUrU, karNATakA)?

Charanam2:
Will you marry our dear SRI chennakESavan of bELUra?

(Note: Here if I'm allowed (kannaDA experts) to treat the first two words and the second two words seperately. The first two wordscould be refering to mElkOtE SRI cheluva mUrti aka SRI cheluvanArAyaNasvAmi aka SRI sampathkumAran.)

Will you marry SRI kRSNan of uDupi? (I don't know what "gElati" means)
Will you marry SRI pANDurangan of paNDarIpuram?
O lotus eyed dame, tell us if will you marry SRI badarinArAyaNa from badrinAth?

Charanam3:
Amateur has already given the meaning clearly.

Note: There is an ancient temple near anantapura (andrapradESam) with a deity with the SRI mAdhavarAyan. It could refer to him too. puruSOttam here could refer to puruSOtta perumAL of dEvaprayag aka kanDam ennum kaDinagar. This temple is on the way to badrinAth and has 10 pAsurams from tirumangaiyAzhvAr.

Charanam4:
Will you marry tirukacchi SRI varadarAjan, whom devEndran prays to? (archana means to pray with flowers or tulasi leaves)
Will you marrySRImuSNam SRI AdivarahAn, whom the asurAs prostrate before?
Will you marry SRI ranganAyaka, who lies eternally on the AdiSESa bed?

(As Shankar points out, sEshaSAyiAda SrIman nArAyaNagO? seems more appropriate here as dAsaravAru has already mentioned abount ranganAthan in the first paragraph. In that case he refers to the perumAL in tiruppArkaDal. In rAmAnuja and madhava sampradAya, we hold that tiruppArkaDal is different from SRIvaikuNTam. It is from here perumAL gets ready for taking an avatArA. Refer tiruppAvAi pAsuram 6. veLLaittaRavil tuyilamarnda vittu. The seed (for all avatAras) lied
down on the white serpent bed in tiruppArkaDal.)

Will you marry tirumAlirumsOlai SRI azhagan aka SRI azhagirISan?

(Note: alagiriSan is not SRI narasimhan. SRI narasimhan would be ahobilagirISan or GaTikAdrISan)

Charanam5:
Will you marry sArangapANi, from kumbakONam aka tirukkuDandai, the one who protects SaraNagatAs (prapannAs)?

(Note: Here dAsaravAru has very aptly chosen the name and the kalyANa guNa of perumAL here, i.e. rakSanatvam. He is the SRIrAmA aka sArangapANi (also kODanDapANi) who said sakrutEva prapannAya tavAsmaitichayAchatE abhayam sarvabhUtEbhyO yetath vratam mama. (Refer to vibhISana SaraNAgathi in the yuddhakAnDam of SRIramAyaNam of SRI vAlmIki muni). If you surrender to me once (and only one), I will protect you from everything (even give you mOkSa).)

Will you marry SRI SRInivAsan, who gives us various boons?
Will you marry rAjagOpAlan of mannArguDi (aka champakAraNyam) who destroyed the clan of kuru (kauravAs)?
Will you marry SRI purandaraviTTala, who remains same (unchanged with respect to dESa, kalA and vastu)?

Krishna - great job!

vadhu I think translates best as 'bride'...Sri vAdirAja has composed a paen describing mahAlakshmi as she arises from the kshIrAbdhi, and how the celestials give her many gifts - nArada gives her the vyjayanti mAla, which then becomes the varmAla as mahAlakshmi chooses nArAyaNa as her var/grrom and places the vyjayanti mAla around his neck...this particular song of Sri purandara dAsa would be perfect as she stands before nArAyaNa..wondering which of these divya mUrtis she will be garlanding....

And Kaniks - it is kshIrAbdhi kannikE and not kannigE
