Understanding thus the Gods, Rudra, and others on that day.
They truely praised.
O lord of good people, I heard today.
O boon granting auspicious Hayavadana, please come.
Holding my hand, show me the way.
Who else is there for the most affectionate devotees?
Who else is the refuge except you, the Supreme Being?
Notes:
In the chorus of the song, Saint Vādirāja glorifies the Lord as 'vārijanābha' the one with a lotus navel. This refers to the Padmanabha form of the god where the Lord Brahma comes out of His navel resulting in the re-manifestation of the universe (Ref: Hiranyagarbha Sukta, Rig. 10.121). He is also called 'vaikuṇṭhalōla', the beloved of Vaikuntha, the place where the liberated transcending the three qualities experience bliss in the company of the Lord.
Then the devotee reminds the Lord of the episode of Elephant Gajendra and Gajendra's Prayers of Surrender sung by gods in the Bhagavatam 8.2-3. It is a reminder that the Lord always protects those who lovingly surrender completely to him. The Lord is specially addressed as 'sujanarōḍayane' i.e. lord of good people, to emphasize that it is necessary to develop good conduct to get the protection of the Lord.
After reminding the Lord of the Gajendra episode, the song goes into poetic surrender, where the devotee seeks a path forward directly from the Lord saying even I am surrendering like Gagendra - "O boon granting Hayavadana, please come, holding my hand, show me the way. Who else is there for the most affectionate devotees? O Supreme Being, without you, who can be the refuge?"
