namaste krishnaa ji,
thank you very much for the meaning. Here are few (correction??) changes I got from online sanskrit dictionary

Tanu viranDa chanDasi
one with the huge body
pracanDa shunDa danDasi
one whose trunk is firm like bar.
surangrang rekhila
applied gandha on the forehead
dhawadhawavit dekhila
looks attractive colourful

kalladdan gandam, milladbrung khandam
Don;t know about full meaning but gandam is head and bru is eyebrows so may be it's big head and eyebrows with gap inbetween
chalcharu shundam is the same one with beautiful trunk
jagatranu shudam is also the same as you said one who protects the world.

next whole shlok has same meaning as you said.
Thank you so much for all your help.
