I worship Sri Ranganathan who resides in bhoolOka vaikuntam (Srirangam).
Reclining on the serpant is strange (wonder), four headed brahma is on the lotus in the navel, sacred three threads and lakshmi are in His chest, (has) beautiful refugee giving hand. Black in color, peaceful in nature, looking up towards the sky. (He is) wearing kings crown, dressed in cloth of ratnams and has Ranganaayaki nearby.
(He) gave liberation to Gajendra in the forest of elephants. (He) is the beautiful one who took the happy and complete avataaram in Brindaavan. He is the Lord of the Universe, Installed firmly on the banks of beautiful kaaviri, compassion showering majestic, attractive face is (one) Ranganathan who is sleeping in (Sri)rangam.
