O Mukunda, the lion (best)
among men! Given a chance, which composed girl from a good lineage
will not wish for You as a consort; You, Who is the happiness of the
minds of people, Who is the happiness of the world, and Who is
incomparable from any viewpoint — be it lineage, nature, beauty,
knowledge, energy, wealth, or abode.||2||
Therefore, O Lord! I have
indeed accepted You as a consort and I have submitted myself to You. O
lotus-eyed Krishna! Please arrive here [and accept me]; so that the
prince of Cedi (Sisupala) does not takes away the property of brave
You — just like a jackal should not take away the prey of a lion.||3||
If I have revered the all
pervading Paramatman by social welfares (digging wells), oblations,
obeying rules, penance, and serving demi-gods, saints, and preceptor,
then O Gadagraja (Krishna)! You accept me after holding my hand —
instead of anyone else like the son of Damaghosa (Sisupala).||4||
O Lord, Who is
unconquered! Arrive secretly in Vidarbha one day before my marriage.
Then after defeating all the army-commanders from the regions of Cedi
and Magadha (Sisupala and Jarasandha), marry me with the ways of
demons by showing Your valor and conquering power.||5||
If You are wondering that
how will you conquer me without killing the women and relatives inside
my palace, then I am telling You a way out. As per an old tradition,
there is a grand fair before the marriage, during which the bride goes
out to the temple of Girija for prayers.||6||
O lotus-eyed Krishna! If I
don’t achieve the dust of Your feet, which is sought after by
incomparable Ones like Umapati (Siva), then I will destroy my life. If
the service of Your feet is not achieved in this life, then I will
take hundreds of birth and do penance; I am sure I will achieve Your
lotus feet some day.||7||
