In plain words

May the two eyes of the lotus-eyed Lord protect us—those twin lights that great sages declare to be the sun and moon themselves, wandering through the universe to measure time and space and lighting the three worlds; those charming eyes of reddish, white, and dark hues, radiating lotus-splendor as they gaze upon us with boundless compassion.

Close to the Sanskrit

May the two eyes of the lotus-eyed Lord protect us—those two which eminent sages declare to be the very form of the sun and moon moving constantly in the world, making known directions and time, and acting as the lamps of illumination for the three worlds; those two lotus-splendored eyes, extremely charming with their reddish, white, and dark lusters, looking upon us with a gaze overflowing with profound compassion.
