STANZA 1

NANDAGOPA, WORRIED AT VASUDEVA'S WARNING WORDS,

HURRIED HOME AND SEEING A HUGE THING ON THE WAY,

COMPLETELY SMASHED INTO A HUGE LUMPY MASS,

PRAYED TO GOD, WHO WAS NO OTHER THAN REALLY YOU!

STANZA 2

ALL THE GOPAS, HEARING WHAT HAPPENED FROM THE WOMEN

CAME AND CUT THE MONSTER’S BODY

WITH AN AXE INTO PIECES

AND BURNT IN A FAR AWAY PLACE

STANZA 3

FROM HER BODY PURIFIED BY YOUR

SUCKING OUT ALL HER EVIL, ROSE

PERFUMED FUMES WITH SCENTS LIKE

THOSE OF SANDALWOOD AND INCENSE

 

STANZA 4

THEY APPEARED TO ANNOUNCE TO THE GOPAS YOUR MESSAGE

“THE RESULT OF IS NEVER FAR ALL OF YOU CAN HAVE IT TOO

STANZA 5

ALL WERE HAPPY THAT YOU WERE SAFE

AND REMAINED LOOKING AT YOUR FACE HAPPILY,

SAYING, “SURPRISE THAT THE DEMON COULD NOT KILL THE CHILD,

SURPRISE THAT VASUDEVA FORETOLD THIS”

STANZA 6

DAY BY DAY GURUVAYUR

AND ALL AROUND GREW

MORE AND MORE PROSPEROUS,

DUE TO YOUR PRESCENCE, MY LORD

 

STANZA 7

EVERY DAY, THE WOMEN, AFTER COMPLETIMG!

THEIR HOUSEHOLD DUTIES, RUSHED TO YOU

TO LOOK AT YOU HIGHLY THRILLED

BY YOUR BEAUTY, LAUGHTER AND CHILDISH TALK

STANZA 8

WHAT DID ALL THE GIRLS NOT DO?

SOME SAY, “THE CHILD IS LOOKING AT ME“

AND OTHERS, “HE SMILED LOOKING AT ME”

"COME, COME TO ME” AND SO ON

STANZA 9

WHEN THE GIRLS IN THEIR EAGERNESS TO TOUCH YOU,

TOOK TURNS TO CARRY YOU, IT WAS A PRETTY SIGHT

AS THAT OF A ROW OF HOMEYBEES

JUMPING FROM ONE LOTUS FLOWER TO ANOTHER

FORMING A BEAUTFUL GARLAND

 

STANZA 10

GIVING YOU MILK, LOOKING AT YOUR HAPPY FACE,

WHAT PEAK OF INTENSE BLISS DID SHE NOT ATTAIN!

WHY CANNOT YOU SAVE ME FROM MY ILLNESS

BEING SO CONSIDERATE AND SO POWERFUL! MY LORD
