Translation:

 

He has strung together reservoirs of literary treatises containing splendid words laden with meaning and being full of navarasa. He has an aura that is better than the blazing sun and flows down in a cascade (in all directions). He has laid siege to all the 10 directions through fame that poets or gyanis carry in their heads. May that Shri JayatIrtha connect me (or associate me) with the world renowed Vaishnava (madhva) shAstra.

 

Notes:

 

The concept of laying siege to all 10 directions needs some explanation. Shri JayatIrtha had a very strong reputation for erudition and mastery over scriptures. This reputation was universally known to all scholars and knowledgeable people (i.e., they " carried " his fame in their heads). This reputation was so high that none of the other rival scholars could meet or match it. So their reputation did not spread anywhere. Thus his fame laid siege to the 10 directions and prevented the fame of others from spreading out.
