Namaskar, I need to understand the meaning of below shloka.

तीर्थानां तीर्थराजं च पावनानां तु पावनम्।
भक्तानामेकमाधारं सानंदं श्रीधरं भजे।।
आदिनारायणं विष्णुं ब्रह्माणं च वसिष्ठकम्।
श्रीरामं मारुतिं वन्दे रामदासं च श्रीधरम्।।
नमः शांताय दिव्याय सत्यधर्मस्वरूपिणे।
स्वानंदामृततृप्ताय श्रीधराय नमो नमः।।
श्रीधर स्वामी महाराजांच्या चरणी नम्र वंदना !

Note: Stackexchange answers require citation, but I couldn't find any source with translation. I am not a Sanskrit scholar or even proficient in it. From whatever little I know I will translate, please don't completely rely on this, just use it as a suggestion.


This is a prayer on Shreedhar Swamiji, about whom you can learn more here and here.
