Meaning:
I worship the blue-throated one forever, the one extolled by Brahma (the lotus-seated)
The undiminishing one ,the one seated facing north on the banks of the Akhanda (broad) Kaveri river, the five-faced one, who protected the foremost among devotees, whose crown is the moon (lord of the stars),cleverly manifest as manifold names and forms,
The sovereign ruler, who finds Kedara Gaula Raga agreeable,the one whose abode is famed as the Southern Kashi city, who censured Manmatha and the Tripuras, the annihilator of Daksha’s sacrifice, the destroyer, the merciful one, who hands are (lovely) like lotuses.
