Nija Pati Bhuja

6) O Govardhana, O hill that by nourishing the cows with its water, grass, and the shade of its trees declares to the three worlds the appropriateness of its own name, please grant to me residence near you. (Govardhana means "that which nourishes (vardhana) the cows (go).")

and quickly attain the precious jewel of the service to the handsome divine couple.
