With folded hands, ayam anjaliH, we salute the pair of lotuses, your feet, padhaabhyaam, Oh Lord, the feet which are worshipped, vandhithaabhyaam, by the gopis, who are blind with love, raagaanDha gopeejana, which are resorted to, nishevithaabhyaam, by the excellent bees, bhrngendhra, that is, the best of the sages, yogeendhra, and which are wonderfully red like the lotuses, aathaamrapankeruha vibhramaabhyaam.
The gopis are blind to everything else except

Andaal says, `aRiyaadhapiLLaigaLOm anbinaal unthannai SirupErazhaitthanavum SeeRiyaruLadhE.'
"Do not get angry with us who are innocent girls, if we speak to you wih familiarity." The Lord looks only for devotion true and sincere, and does not care for ornamental praises or bombastic offerings. The gopis were the exmples of the words of
This means, " whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you perform sacrifice with, whatever you give away and whatever austerities you undergo, do it as an offering to Me." The gopis did just that and in their artless expressions through words, Krishna could see their heart and could understand the meanings which they tried to convey by listening to them with kind heart like a parent does to the inarticulate mutterings of their child.

May The Lord of the Universe, bhuvanadhaiivatham, who had come to the earth, bhuvasThalam upaagatham, as Krishna, with the smile blossoming on his lips, smitha sthabakithaaDharam, the nectarine music from his flute giving cool bliss to the ears, SiSiraveNunaadhaamrtham, the glances of the youthful eyes often moving, muhuH tharala lochanam madhakataaksha maalaakulam, and who was embraced by Lakshmi who was hidden in his chest, urasThala vileenayaa kamalayaa samaalingitham
protect us.
The idea of Lakshmi hidded in the chest of Krishna and embracing him is the novel one in this sloka.In fact Lakshmi accompanies the Lord in all His incarnations as the Azvar has said, `agalakillEn enriraiyum alarmEl mangai uRai maarba,' and even in the incarnation as Vamana she was residing in His chest and that is why he covered His chest with the uppercloth so that Mahabali will not be glanced by her in which case it would have been impossible to take away the wealth of Mahabali after he had the lakshmi kataaksha, says the commentators of Vamanavathara. Hence even in krishnavathara Lakshmi was in his chest without being seen by all and embraces him, says ,Leelasuka.
