DASAKOM 63

 STANZA 1

 IMMEDIATELY YOU SAW OVER THE FARM THICK CLOUDS

 RIVALLING YOUR SOFT LIMBS IN THEIR HANDSOMENESS,

 WITH LOUD THUNDER, QUAKING THE EARTH AT ONCE

 STANZA 2

 DRENCHED IN THE HEAVY DOWNPOUR, AND PELTED HARD BY BIG HAILSTONES,

 THE PEOPLE, SUFFERING BEYOND MEASURE,

 CRIED TO YOU FOR HELP,

 AND THEN YOU TOLD THEM “DO NOT FEAR”

 STANZA 3

 YOU PULLED OUT THE GOVARDHHANA MOUNTAIN,

 UPROOTING IT FROM ITS ROOTS,

 AND SAID LAUGHINGLY,

 “THE MOUNTAIN WILL PROTECT US KFROM THIS ENEMY OF MOUNTAINS”

 STANZA 4

 YOU LFTED THE MOUNTAIN, WITH YOUR SOFT LITTLE HAND,

 WITH THE COWS AND COWHERDS

 AND ALL THEIR TOOLS,

 IN THE SANDY AND COOL GROUND BELOW IT

 STANZA 5

 THEY WERE HAPPY, WHEN, HOLDING UP THE MOUNTAIN WITH ONE HAND,

 YOU ENGAGED IN HAPPY TALK WITH THE GIRLS AND BOYS,

 AND GENTLY SCRATCHED THE COWS THAT SURROUDED YOU

 STANZA 6

 THE GOPAS WONDERED,

 “THE MOUNTAIN IS VERY BIG

 THE BOY IS VERY YOUNG

 SURELY IT IS THE MOUNTAIN'S POWER

 STANZA 7

 INDRA WENT ON RAINING SEVEN DAYS,

 CONTEMPTOUSLY DISMISSING YOU, SAYING,

 “WHEN HIS HAND ACHES AFTER SOME TIME,

 THE BOY WILL DEFINITELY GET UP”

 STANZA 8

 WHEN THE WATER STORE GOT EXHAUSTED,

 THE CLOUDS LOST THEIR WEIGHT,

 AND WERE BLOWN AWAY BY THE WIND,

 INDRA GOT AFRAID, AND RAN AWAY

 STANZA 9

 WHEN THE RAIN CEASED,

 AND THE BOYS AND COWS CAME OUT,

 YOU LAID DOWN THE MOUNTAIN ON THE GROUND

 AND WITH THEM, WENT HOME

 STANZA 10

 PRAISED BY DEVAS, WHO SAID,

 YOU HAVE BEEN BEARING THE EARTH ALWAYS

 WHAT DIFFICULTY IN CARRYING THE MOUNTAIN, MY LORD,

 SAVE ME FROM MY DISEASE, I PRAY
