Meaning: I shall ever be worshipping with joy the Transcendental Lord, the personification of righteousness, this Prince of Ayodhya (kingdom where Rama lived), with tender tulasi (a type of sacred basil) leaves. I shall garland Him with fragrant flowers like the lotus, punnaga, campaka, jasmine, and lily.
