Meaning

This is the first Lord, hard even for the immortals to approach, who tore open the body of the huge demon who came against Him — the deed remembered of Narasimha. On the face of the pure one at Srirangam, those great long eyes — dark, wide-spreading, gleaming, run through with red streaks — have left the poet dazed and robbed of his wits.
