Meaning:



There, oh out there, is Srihari's abode,

It is adorned with Sesha's thousand hoods!



That is the Venkatachala- the superior most

It is unattainable to even Brahma and others.

It is the eternal abode of sages and seers

Behold it, salute it - it is filled with eternal bliss.



Right ahead is the Seshachala mountain,

The living abode of all heavenly deities.

Just a threshold away is the real treasure,

those golden cliffs, full of Supreme bliss.



Bestower of eternal beatitude, it is the Lord's city

It is Srivenkatapathi's bounteous prosperity

If you can perceive, it is your fortune in entirety

and purest of purity.



Notes: 1.Srihari, Srivenkatapathi - Lord Vishnu

2. Venkatachala - abode of Lord Venkateswara

3. Seshachala- one of the seven hills named after the serpent

'Sesha', the couch of Vishnu.
