Meaning:Sitting on Adhisesha, He has His left foot (savyam paadam) dangling(prasaarya) from the left knee down. The right foot that is slightly bent(kunjayitvaa) and resting on Adhisesha quickly removes (shritha durithaharam) the obstacles of Prapannas. He rests left hand on His right knee(jaanun aadhaaya savyE). His other hand is resting on Adhisesha (Itharabujam naaga bhOgE nidhaaya). He dons the Conch and the powerful disc on the upper two hands for demolishing the evil forces (PrathibaTa shamanE). This Lord of Paramapada rejoices with His Devis on either side and in adorningornaments(dEvee booshaadhi yokthou:). Let Him (sharma VaikunTha naatha ) protect the entire world(janayathu Jagathaam).

Mahaalakshmi embraces you fondly with a pleasantsmile sitting on your left lap (vaamaangE sthithayaam prasanna vadanaamSrikaanthyaa aalingitham).
