Oh the benefactor of the world! When you sit on your beautiful throne (gr) and give your discourse, then the deer become bold like lions and present themselves in your service. Oh Lord! as the moon with its moonlight gives great pleasure to the chakora bird, in the same way with the wonderful luminous aura behind you, your looking upon on all good men gives them the greatest of joy. Oh Lord of the three worlds! In the sky this Dundubhi (33 for - a vast deep throated drum) which is beating infront of you 2t seems it is announcing that among all the Gods of this world, your wealth, pomp and glory (to which the Lord is least attached) is by far the greatest! Oh Lord of this world! Above your head as though it shows that your virtues (yva ) are ever rising, there are three Chatras ( beautifully ornate round and precious structures which cover his head). They clearly show that you have reached the greatest achievements in this three worlds! ..3
