Simple Translation

Worship we shall Tiruvēṅkaṭam, the halo’d mountain, Favourite resort of the Benefactor great, who repelled the chill rains, Holding mount (Govardhana) aloft and who the worlds did once span; That’s enough to extricate us from all our sins.

Explanatory Notes

Here again, the over-riding importance of the Sacred Mount vis-a-vis the Lord enshrined there, is emphasised. Mount Tiruvēṅkaṭam thus becomes the goal or destination of the Lord and His devotees alike. If it was Mount Govardhana during the Lord’s incarnation as Śrī Kṛṣṇa that shielded the subjects of Gokula it is now Mount Tiruvēṅkaṭam that operates as the Saviour, during His Arcā (Iconic) manifestation.
