TRANSLATION
Oh Śrī Veṅkaṭeśa! Your holy feet serve as a deep ocean of Mercy to the swarm of devotees, who have offered Prapatthi to You. Your acceptance of their Prapatthi is similar to the nectar of milk offered by the caring Mother from her breasts to her hungry child. Your feet are matchless in their power to drive away the sorrows of this world and offer refuge in the other world. adiyēn prostrates before them and offer my Śaraṇāgati unto them.
