Meaning: http://www.sangeetasudha.org/annamacharya/vol2/v.html#MARK_VANDEVASUDEVAM
P: I bow to Vasudeva. The king (AdheeSa) of Brindaraka worships (vandita) his lotus feet (pada-Abjam).
C1: You shine like blue lotus (indeevara Syama mandirA kucha taTee).
Your body (dEham) is smeared with the sandal paste (chandana-ankita) which is on your consort (sachcharu) Indira.
You are adorned with garland made of Mandara flowers(hibiscus - mandAra mAlika).
Your crown (makuta) is glittering (samSObhitam).
You are Manmadha's father (kandarpa janakam).
Your navel is lotus-like (“aravinda-nabham”).
C2: Your chest shines with koustubha jewel. Garuda the king of birds is your vehicle. You are lotus eyed. The scriptures adore you. You recline on the king of serpents and made it your great home.
C3: You readily (tatparam) rescued (samrakshaNa) Dharmaraja the king (nAtha) of Hasthinapura (karipura).
You blessed (varada) the king of elephants (kari-rAja) with your lotus-like hands (sangata kara-abjam).
Your face is beautiful like lotus (saraseeruha-Ananam). The discus is glittering on your hand (chakra vibhrAjitam).
I worship (bhajE) the holy (tiru) lord (dEvam) of Venkatachalam.
