In plain words

Mounted on a towering steed whose fierce speed outstrips the wind, clad in blue, with a bow gleaming in His hand, the Lord of beings chases down the herds of mental deer—attachment, aversion, and all the rest—in the wild sport of the hunt. May that Lord sport brilliantly within the forest of my mind.

Riding an extremely lofty horse whose fierce speed has conquered the wind, wearing a blue garment, with the staff of a bow shining in the palm of His hand, the sustainer of beings—causing fear to the multitude of various deer such as attachment and aversion—performing the sport of hunting, may He shine forth in my forest-like mind.
