Meaning of the song:

I could not see this much scintillating shine (sobagu) in any other gods
except for Gopala, who is popular among gopalas (of Dwaraka-gopijanapriya)

If you see kingship (doreyatana), he is Lord of mother earth (dharaNI dEvi)
If you see wealth (siritana), he is husband of Shreelakshmi
If you see elderlyness (hiriyatana), born out of lotus (Brahma-sarasijOdbhava)
If you see teaching (guruvutana), mentor of whole world.

If you see sacredness (pAvanatva), father of immortal water (amaragaMgAjanaka)
If you see divinity (dEvatva), master of all gods (divijaroDEya)
If you see elegance (lavaNyadali), loved by all mankind (lOkamOhakanayya)
If you see bravery (dhairyadi), he is killer (asurAMtaka) of demons

garuDadEva who travels like horse (turaga) in the sky
Lord who laid/sleep (shayana) on softbed (paryaMka) of Shesha
none other than PuraMdara vittala who is visible through Vedas (nigamagOcara)
who else will have this fortune (bhAgya)
