In plain words
The foot on the right, like a red lotus and ringed by a resounding anklet, was set on the neck of Death, whose voice is thunder, and broke it. The foot on the left, like a tender shoot, shrinks from the touch of cotton and wears the cilampu anklet. Such is the form of the giver of boons who dwells at Ēkampam in full Kanchi.
Line by line
The foot on the right, like a red lotus, ringed by a resounding anklet, was set so that the neck of thunder-voiced Death broke; like a tender shoot, the foot on the left, which shrinks from the touch of cotton, wearing the cilampu anklet: such form has the boon-giver who dwells in Ēkampam of full Kanchi, indeed.
