TRANSLATION
Oh Śrī Veṅkaṭeśa! Lotus flowers might be the best among all the flowers because of their tenderness, fragrance and color. It is not however correct to equate the beauty of your feet to them. It would indeed be a gross exaggeration to compare the lotus flower to the benevolent attributes of your holy feet. Such attempted comparisons are indeed the foolish efforts of ignorant poets, who do not understand the magnitude of greatness of your divine Pādha kamalams. Indeed, there is nothing in the world that can come near the unique auspiciousness of your sacred feet. adiyēn performs my Prapatthi at those matchless feet of yours.
