Meaning
He recalls the Lord who, as a tiny child, lay on the leaf of the great banyan tree after swallowing all seven worlds, and who now reclines on the serpent in Srirangam. That dark-blue form of endless beauty, hung with splendid gem necklaces and strands of pearls — alas, it has overwhelmed the poet's heart and carried off its composure.
