Paraphrase
(PR):
Oh Destroyer
(hara)
of the three (trí)
cities (pura)!, Hári
--i.e. Vísnu--
(hárih),having
placed (aadhaaya)
(his) offering
(balim) of a thousand
(saahasram) lotuses
(kámala) at Your (te)
feet (padayoh),
(noted)
that (yád) one
(lotus)
was lacking (ekone)
in that (offering)
(tasmin).
(So,)
he plucked (udaharat)
(one of)
his own (nijam)
lotus-eyes (netrakamalam)
(in order to have that problem resolved).
(As a result,)
the abundance (udrekah)
of
(his)
devotion (bhaktí)
(was)
turned (gatah... parinatim)
(by You)
into that (asaú)
beautiful (vapusaa)
Wheel
(known as "Sudarshaná") (cakrá)
which stays alert (jaagarti)
to protect (raksaayai)
the three (trayaanaam)
worlds (jagataam).

Paraphrase (PR):
When a sacrifice --krátu--
(kratau) is
over --lit. "falls sleep"-- (supte),
You (tvám)
remains (ási)
awake (jaagrat)
to reward (phalayoge)
the sacrificer (kratumataam).
How (kvá) a
sacrificial rite (karma)
which has ceased (pradhvastam)
is going to be fruitful (phálati)
without (rité)
worship (aaraadhanam)
of Púrusa
or the Supreme Person --i.e. Shivá-- (púrusa)?
For this reason
(átas), having
become aware (sampreksya)
of You (tvaam)
as the fruit-giver
(phála-daanapratibhuvam) in
the sacrifices (kratusu),
and having (baddhvaa)
faith (shraddhaam)
in the Shrúti --i.e. the Veda-s-- (shrutau),
people (jánah)
resolutely (dridhá)
perform (parikarah)
sacrificial acts (karmasu).

Paraphrase (PR):
Oh Grantor
(da)
of refuge (sharaná)!,
You --tvám--
(tvattah),
who are addicted (vyasaninah)
to bestow (vidhaana)
constantly (dhruvam)
the fruits (phála)
of the sacrifices
(krátu), spoiled --ababhramshas
or abhramshayas--
(bhramshah)
(that celebrated)
sacrifice (krátu)
(in which)
Dáksa
--Satii's father; Satii was the first wife of Shivá-- (dáksah),
an expert (dáksah)
in sacrificial acts
(kriyaa) and a master
(adhiishah)
over all beings possessed (bhritaam)
of a body (tanú),
was the sacrificer (kratupatih);
(in turn,)
the office of "ritvij"--the
sacrificial priests-- (aartvijyam)
was carried out by the
(very)
Vedic Sages --Risi-s--
(risiinaam),
(while)
the hosts (ganaah)
of gods (sura)
(were)
the superintending priests (sadasyaah).
Undoubtedly (hí),

sacrifices (makhaah)
(performed)
for enchanting
(others) (abhicaaraaya)
(prove to be)
unfavorable (vidhuram)
to the faith (shraddhaa)
of the performer (kartuh).
