Yashomati Nandan

Translation:

1) Lord Krishna is the beloved son of mother Yasoda; the transcendental lover in the land of Vraja; the delight
of Gokula; Kana [a nickname of Krishna]; the wealth of the lives of the gopis. He steals the mind of even Cupid
and punishes the Kaliya serpent.

(2) These pure, holy names of Lord Hari are full of sweet, nectarean pastimes. Krishna is the Lord of the
twelve forests of Vraja, He is ever-youthful and is the best of lovers. He is always playing on a flute, and He is
an excellent dresser.

(3) Krishna is the protector of the inhabitants of Vraja; the destroyer of various demoniac dynasties; the keeper
and tender of Nanda Maharaja’s cows; the giver of pleasure to the cows, land, and spiritual senses; the husband
of the goddess of fortune; the butter thief; and the beautiful cowherd boy of Nanda Maharaja.

(4) Krishna wanders along the banks of the River Yamuna. He stole the garments of the young damsels of Vraja
who were bathing there. He delights in the mellows of the rasa dance; He is very merciful; the lover and beloved
of Srimati Radharani; the great dancer of Vrindavana; and the shelter and only refuge of Thakura Bhaktivinoda.
