Meaning:

In this prayer song Annamaiah describes the divine appearence and great qualities of the Super Soul Sriman nArAyaNa and surrendering to Him.

Oh Sriman nArayaNa, I surrender (“SaraNu”) to your lotus feet (“sree pAdamE”) only.

You are like the Sun (“kamalAsatee”) to your lotus faced (“mukha Kamala”) consort Kamala or Lakshmi. You are dear (“priya”) to Kamala with your eyes resembling lotus petals (“kamalEkshaNA”). You are dear (“hita”) to Brahma the creator who sits on a lotus (“kamalAsana”). You move on the Garuda bird (“gamana”). Your navel is like lotus. I surrender (“SaraNu”) to your lotus (“kamalamE”) feet (“pada”).

You are the ultimate destination (“bhAga dhEya”) to the supreme (“parama”) sages (“yOgijana”). You are the supreme (“parama”) personality (“purusha”). You are transcendental (“parAtparA”). You are the supreme soul (“param-AtmA”). You manifest (“roopa”) yourself even in the tiniest atom (“param-ANu”). Oh Lord (“dEvA”) of the holy (“tiru”) Venkata hill (“venkaTa-giri”), I surrender (“SaraNu”) to you.
