I sing praises of the
lotus-feet of Lord of Lakshmi, Which has juice like the river Ganga,
Which is fragrant and full of pleasures eternally, and Which breaks
the shackles of the cycle of rebirth.||2||
O Lord! Even though there
is no difference between us (I am a part of You), I belong to You and
not vice-versa. Just like the ocean is made of waves but the waves are
not made up of ocean.||3||
O Krishna, Who lifted the
Govardhan¹!
O Upendra, Who is the younger brother of Indra²,
Who is the enemy of demons, Who has sun and moon as two eyes! After
seeing you, isn't it true that we get dispassionate about the whole
mortal world? (Or it says that indeed Your appearance to someone
destroys his (her) passion for the mortal world).||4||
O Supreme Lord, Who
protects this earth by various incarnations like Matsya (fish)! I am
feared by the cycle of life and death and therefore I am worthy of
being saved by You.||5||
O Damodar! O Govind, Who
is the temple of qualities, Who has a lotus-like body, Who is like the
Mandarachal mountain for Ksheersagar like ocean of rebirth! You drive
away the immense fear from my life.||6||
O Narayan, Who is full of
compassion! I am taking the refuge of Your lotus-feet. May this
above-said sextet (six pada) which is like a bumble-bee resides in my
lotus-like mouth.||7||
