In plain words
When the sun rises high, the stars and the moonlight fade away; when Garuḍa appears, the birds bow before him. So, I am Your servant: protect me. Salutation to Nārāyaṇa.
Word for word
As the rows of stars and the light of the moon hide when the sun rises and climbs high, as the flock of birds joins hands on seeing Garuḍa, so protect me, Your servant; salutation to Nārāyaṇa.
