Word breakdown
- नृपालिमौलिव्रजरत्नकान्ति-
- Shining like a river-fish maiden lit by the jewel-splendour of hosts of royal crowns,
- सरिद्विराजज्झषकन्यकाभ्याम् ।
- like fish-maids radiant on the river.
- नृपत्वदाभ्यां नतलोकपङ्क्तेः
- Bestowing kingship on the ranks of those who bow.
- नमो नमः श्रीगुरुपादुकाभ्याम् ॥५॥
- Salutations, salutations to the blessed sandals of the Guru.
Kingship conferred by the sandals is the sovereignty of the Self over the mind, greater than any earthly throne. Radiance borrowed from every crown points to the one light that makes all glory possible.
