    Your distinguished nose, your cheeks glowing with the reflection of swinging gem-earrings shaped like the makara, the interior of your mouth radiant with a row of bright teeth, the redness of your bimba-like lower lip within — and your ever sweeter faint smile, flowing with joy — I meditate on this face.

    With your pair of arms bearing jeweled bracelets, your red-tender hands, you hold in your finger-tips aglow with rays of outspread nails the flute-stalk, making the sound of sacred syllables — you hold it to your lotus-face and create the nectar of sweet raga — with that raga-nectar you cool the worlds.

    Your beautiful thighs, of dense smooth luster, the mind-stealers of Lakshmi, fearing lest the whole world be disturbed, both always clothed in yellow silk — your pair of knees before those who bow down, resembling in shade the casket holding all the attainable objects — and your feet step by step —

    meaning

    If in not knowing your greatness anything wrong has been said — O lord of the universe, forgive; may this hymn greater than the thousand more become for your pleasure; in two ways is this Narayaniyam supreme among scriptures and in its celebrating of your incarnations — thus does this illustrious work conclude.
