STANZA 1

VASUDEVA, WHO HAD GONE TO THE CITY ONCE,

IN ORDER TO PAY TAX, AND MEETING THERE NANDA,

WHO IS AN OPTIMIST, SPOKE, TO HIM,

KNOWING WELL KAMSA'S CROOKED WAYS

STANZA 2

HE ADDRESSSED HIM POLITELY, AND SAID,

“THE BIRTH OF YOUR SON MAKES ME AS HAPPY AS IF I HAD ONE ",

THUS ACCEPTING THAT NANDAGOPA WAS

YOUR FATHER WITHOUT DOUBT

STANZA 3

HE ADDED, “I FIND HERE

MANY BAD OMENS, BETTER YOU HURRY FAST”

AND HEARING THIS

NANDA QUICKLY WENT HOME

STANZA 4

AT THAT TIME, CAME NEAR TO YOU,

A SWEET PRETTTY GIRL,

HONEYBEES HOVERING AROUND

AND SNIFFING HER SCENTED HAIR,

STANZA 5

QUICKLY SHE LIFTED YOU,

WHILE THE WOMEN IN THE HOUSE AT THAT TIME,

WERE STANDING AND WONDERING

WHO SHE WAS,

STANZA 6

AS THE WOMEN STOOD ABSORBED

IN HER ATTRACTIVE WAYS, AND DID NOT STOP IN TIME,

SHE SAT INSIDE THE HOUSE, AND BEGAN

FONDLY GIVING YOU HER BREASTMILK

STANZA 7

CLIMBING READILY ON HER LAP,

IN YOUR INDIGNATION AT THE WAY SHE KILLED SO MANY BOYS,

YOU SUCKED HARD AT HER POISONCOATED BREAST,

AS IF IT WERE A LARGE MANGOFRUIT

STANZA 8

WHEN YOU WERE SUCKING OUT HER LIFE,

ALONG WITH THE MILK FROM HER BREAST,

SHE ROARED LOUD LIKE THUNDER, AND FELL

DOWN WITH OUTSTRECHED LONG ARMS

STANZA 9

AS THE WHOLE PLACE WAS STUNNED

BY THE FEARSOME AND LOUD NOISE,

THE WOMEN RRMOVED FROM THE TOP OF HER,

YOU, WHO WERE PLAYING, AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED, CHEERFULLY

STANZA 10

LORD, WHO PROTECT THE WORLD ALWAYS,

THE GIRLS RECITED YOUR OWN NAMES,

FOR PROTECTING YOU FROM ALL SORTS OF HARM

PLEASE INCREASE MY DEVOTION

AND ALLOW ME TO BE YOUR SERVANT, I PRAY
