The term sarva-loka-cūḍāmaṇi refers to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is manifest to the fourteen worlds and who is the topmost worshipable personality for both demigods and ordinary living entities. The word vaikuṇṭha-īśvara refers to the eternally full in six opulences Lord of Vaikuṇṭha, which is situated beyond the fourteen planetary systems of the material world, beyond the Virajā River and Brahmaloka, and which is devoid of all material qualities and unaffected by material time, place, and circumstances.
The word lakṣmī-kānta refers to the Lord of Vaikuṇṭha, the Absolute
Truth, Lord Nārāyaṇa, who is endowed with six opulences, who is the worshipable Lord of Lakṣmī, and who is the predominating Deity of the original Vaikuṇṭha. The word sītā-kānta refers to the naimittika, or occasional, incarnation of Viṣṇu, Lord Rāmacandra, the son of Daśaratha.
