I salute the mother of the universe, whose lord of the universe and lord of Venkatsas,

Whoo is the divine  darling of Vishnu, Who enjoys daily staying on his chest,

Who increases his power of forgiveness, whose fingers  are like  the decorated lotus flowersm,

Who is  Sri   who sits on the lotus and who shines  in qualities like affection.
