namamisvaram sac-cid-ananda-rupamlasat-kundalam gokule bhrajamanamyasoda-bhiyolukalad-dhavamanamparamrstam atyantato drutya gopya“I bow down to the supreme controller, Sri Damodara, whose form is the embodiment of eternity, knowledge, and bliss. His glistening earrings swing playfully to and fro upon His cheeks. He manifests super-excellent pastimes in Gokula, by stealing fresh butter suspended from the rafters of the gopi’s storerooms. In fear of Mother Yasoda, He jumps down from a wooden grinding mortar and quickly runs away. She runs swiftly after Him and finally catches Him from behind.”rudantam muhur netra-yugmam mrjantamkarambhoja-yugmena satanka-netrammuhuh svasa-kampa-tri-rekhanka-kantha-sthita-graivam damodaram bhakti-baddham“He cries and rubs His eyes again and again with His two lotus hands. His eyes are fearful and His breathing quick. As Mother Yasoda binds His belly with ropes, He shivers in fright and the pearl necklace shakes upon His neck, which is marked with three lines like a conch shell. To the Supremem Lord, Sri Damodara, whose belly is bound by His mother’s pure love, not by rope, I offer my humble obeisances.”itidrk-sva-lilabhir ananda-kundesva-ghosam nimajjantam akhyapayantamtadiyesita-jnesu bhaktair jitatvampunah prematas tam satavrtti vande“O my Lord, by Your own childhood pastimes, You continually immerse the residents of Gokula in pools of ecstasy. You reveal to those who are attracted to Your majesty and opulence, that You are only conquered by the love of Your pure devotees. Again I offer my obeisances with love and devotion hundreds and hundreds of times.”varam deva moksam na moksavadhim vana canyam vrne ‘ham varesasd apihaidam te vapur natha gopala-balamsada me manasy avirastam kim anyaih“O Lord Damodara, although You are able to give all kinds of benedictions, I do not pray to You for liberation, nor the supreme goal of eternal life in Vaikuntha, nor for any other boon. My only desire, O Lord, is that Your form as Bala Gopala in Vrindavana may constantly remain in my heart. I have no use for any other boon besides this.”idam te mukhambhojam atyanta-nilair-vrtam kuntalaih snigdha-raktais ca gopyamuhus cumbitam bimba-raktadharam memanasy avirastam alam laksa-labhaih“Your supremely enchanting face, encircled by shining locks of dark blue curling hair, resembles the fully blossomed lotus, tinged with a reddish luster, due to being kissed again and again by Mother Yasoda. May this vision of Your lotus face, with lips are red as bimba fruit, remain forever in my heart. Millions of other benedictions are of no benefit to me.”namo deva damodarananta visnoprasida prabho duhkha-jalabdhi-magnamkrpa-drsti-vrstyati-dinam batanu-grhanesa mam ajnam edhy aksi-drsyah“O Damodara! O Lord of divine beauty and unlimited mercy! O all pervading Visnu! I offer my obeisances unto You. May You be pleased with me. I am drowning in an ocean of sorrow and feeling almost dead. Shower Your nectar laden glances upon me, thereby uplifting me and enthusing me with life. Please accept me, O Lord, and become visible before my eyes.”kuveratmajau baddha-murtyaiva yad-vattvaya mocitau bhakti-bhajau krtau catatha prema-bhaktim svakam me prayacchana mokse graho me ‘sti damodareha“O Lord Damodara, although Mother Yasoda bound Your divine form to a wooden grinding mortar, You mercifully delivered the sons of Kuvera, Manigriva and Nalakuvara, who were cursed to stand as trees, and You gave them the gift of devotional service. Please bless me in this same way with Your most wonderful prema-bhakti. I have no eagerness for any other type of liberation.”names te ‘stu damne sphurad dipti-dhamnetvadiyodarayatha visvasya dhamnenamo radhikayai tvadiya priyayainamo ‘nanta-lilaya devaya tubhyam“O Lord, I offer respectful obeisances unto Your belly, the abode of the entire universe, which is bound by Mother Yasoda with a brilliantly effulgent rope. To this rope I offer my humble obeisances. I offer repeated obeisances to Your dearmost beloved Srimati Radharani, and I bow before You, who are performing unlimited super-excellent pastimes.”
