With a body adorned by wonderful, dazzling golden ornaments, clad in yellow garments, bearing the complexion of blue cloud, holding a mace, conch, disc and lotus in His hands, may that Lord Vishnu Himself, adding splendour to Guruvayur temple and dispelling the miseries of human beings all over the world, bestow honour up on my poem.
(Translation by C.R. Swaminathan and Sudha Gopalakrishnan)
