Word breakdown
- उदञ्चद्भुजावल्लरीदृश्यमूलो-
- Whose brow, root of the sight of the creeper of upraised arms,
- च्चलद्भ्रूलताविभ्रमभ्राजदक्षम् ।
- shines with the charm of moving eyebrow-vines in playful splendour.
- मरुत्सुन्दरीचामरैः सेव्यमानं
- Served by celestial maidens with chamara whisks.
- गणाधीशमीशानसूनुं तमीडे
- I praise that lord of the hosts, son of Ishana.
The captivating brow and celestial service show the Lord honoured in the inner shrine as well as in heaven. When the mind is charmed by his presence, the senses that once scattered outward turn into attendants of the one Self.
