This text is from the book Stutimanimala
(pp 84-89) compiled by Kallidaikurichi
Shri. K.S. Ramakrishna Sastrigal (1965).

The meaning of the first two stanzas of
the stotram is as follows:

I salute in private Sitaram and Laxman
who are lotus-eyed, wearing dresses with gold,
armoury as ornaments , who destroy all filth,
and who give all that are desired.

I salute in private Sitaram and Laxman
who wear the ear ring of makar, crown with
precious stone, sweet tongued, born of
illustrious clan of manu, and who are
exemplary citizens of human race.

There are 16 stanzas of similar types.
Two more stanzas are invocations of Ram and Krishna.
The tune is like that of Gopika Gitam.
