TRANSLATION

1) Glories, glories to Lord Hari, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is bedecked with
jeweled earrings and a garland of forest flowers and whose feet are marked with a lotus!

2) The Lord's face shines like the whorl of the sun. He removes the miseries of His devotees and is
the resting place of the minds of the swan-like sages. Glories! Glories to Lord Sri Hari!

3) O Supreme Personality of Godhead who destroyed the demoniac Kaliya serpent! O Lord, You are
the beloved of all living entities and the sun in the galaxy of the Yadu dynasty. Glories! Glories to Lord
Sri Hari.

4) O Lord, destroyer of the demons Madhu, Mura and Naraka! Seated on Garuda, You are the source of
joy for the demigods. All glories to Hari!

5) O Lord Your eyes are like lotus petals, and You destroy the bondage of the material world. You are
the maintainer of the three worlds. Glories to Lord Hari!

6) O Lord, as the gem of the sons of Janaka, You were victorious over all the asuras, and You smashed
the greatest asura, the ten-headed Ravana. Glories to Lord Hari!

7) O Supreme Personality of Godhead who held the Govardhana Hill! Your complexion is like a
fresh monsoon cloud, and Sri Radharani is like a cakora bird who is nourished by drinking the light of
Your moonlike face. Glories! Glories to Lord Hari.

8) O Lord, I offer my humble obeisances at Your lotus feet. Please bless me by Your limitless
mercy. Glories! Glories to Lord Sri Hari!

9) The poet Sri Jayadeva offers this song of devotion and shining good fortune to Thee. All glories!
All glories to Lord Sri Hari!
