TRANSLATION
Oh Lord of Sapthagiri! The soles of your feet have a reddish hue darker than that of the best Padmarāga stones. Your outer feet have a hue that in their bluishness defeats the best of Indranīla gems. The nails of your feet outshine the Moon in their cool, white luster. All of these hues associated with your holy feet reveal that you are none other than the Lord of all Universes. Therefore adiyēn performs my Śaraṇāgati at those divine Pādha Kamalams.
