- तटिद्वाससं नीलमेघावभासं रमामंदिरं सुंदरं चित्प्रकाशम् ।
- Clothed in lightning-yellow garment, appearing like a blue cloud, abode of Rama, beautiful, luminous consciousness.
- वरं त्विष्टकायां समन्यस्तपादं परब्रह्मलिङ्गं भजे पाण्डुरङ्गम् ॥२॥
- Placing his feet on the brick as a boon: I worship Panduranga, the emblem of supreme Brahman.
Feet placed on the devotee's brick show that God honours human love and does not spurn the humble offering. The Lord as cit-prakasha, luminous consciousness, is worshipped in form yet known as the light behind every form.
