In plain words

To the one who drove out the fears of the round of becoming and put them away for good, and gave the highest state — to the one who gave the standing-ground of devotion and dispassion — By the sentence neti neti, ‘not this, not this’ — to the stainless one who showed the certainties and set them fast — Victorious blessing, everlasting auspicious blessing! Driving out unknowing and putting it away, saying prajñānam brahma, ‘awareness is Brahman’ — to the Self who showed me the state aham asmi, ‘I am Brahman’, and set it fast — By the sentence tat tvam asi, ‘that you are’, making his own form my own form — to the witness, the Real that is its own, standing full as itself alone — Saying ayam ātmā brahma, ‘this Self is Brahman’, showing the direct experience and setting it fast — to the endless one, who has no beginning and no end — For the fourteen worlds too, that shine out in the form of being — to the one made of awareness, who stood filling them as awareness — To the one who saw the standing of the witness; to the one who became made of That — to the one of true qualities, who is sat-cit-ānanda — The fourteen worlds too, that shine out through bliss — to the Self who went on beholding them as a wonder — Spreading wide his own lamp, the one called the Veda, and lifting it up himself — entering in an instant the forest that is the śāstras — by the lamp that is called knowledge, turning the forest to ash — to the one who wrought it all, who drove out the bondage of ritual action and put it away — In the maṇṭapam that is called the heart, my own true Guru — praising Venkateśa the great one and setting him there — worshipping him day after day, to install him there as my chosen one — to the stainless one who gave a devotion with room enough in it to hold him —
