O Lord elusive to even Indra - who is Lord to the celestials - and Brahma - the Grand Father! O Lord for Whom tranquility and other virtues are adornments! Beloved of Parvati!
You are verily Lord Bhava, wearing the digit of the Moon; with the blue throat; Who appears as if a billion suns have arisen together! O Lord praised by Vishnu - Consort of Lakshmi - please deign to bestow on me devotion to Thy Holy Feet, Benefactor of the humble; Lord with a smiling Face; the Lord worshipped by Tyagaraja
