("angaja") and is the infinite("mananta") one.
He transcends ("matitim") everything
("anta").
He is the eternal one ("satatam") who is
praised ("nutham") by the immortal ones ("amara") like
Indra ("ajendra").
He has the great bird GARUDA ("uttunga
vihangam") for the mount ("turangam") and his eyes
("paangam") shower compassion ("kripa")

attainment (" sadhanam") of salvation.("mukthi")
