dhaga dhagita koustubha dharaNa vakshasthalam
khagarAja vAhanam kamala nayanam

nnaga rAja SAyinam ghana nivAsam ||
karipura nAtha samrakshaNa tatparam
karirAja varada sangata karAbjam

tiru venkaTAchala dEvam bhajE ||
A misprint is corrected::*mindirA*
Your chest shines with koustubha jewel. Garuda the king of birds is your vehicle. You are lotus eyed. The scriptures adore you. You recline on the king of serpents *and made it your great home*
*You reside in an auspicious place{vaikunTham}
{Ghana is ::Solid,aupicious}
You readily rescued Dharmaraja the king of Hasthinapura. *You blessed the king of elephants with your lotus-like hands*. Your face is beautiful like lotus. The discus is glittering on your hand. I worship the holy lord of Venkatachalam[3]
*your lotus like hands are joined in friendship with the benefactor of the king of elephants*
*sangata is:: association, friendship*
