DASAKOM 64

 STANZA 1

 SEEING YOUR SUPERHUMAN POWERS,

 IN THE LIFTING OF MOUNTAIN, AND OTHERS,

 GOPAS ENQUIRED NANDA

 REGARDING YOUR HOROSCOPE

 STANZA 2

 WHEN YOUR FATHER TOLD THEM

 WHAT GARGA HAD SAID,

 THEIR LOVE OF YOU

 GOT MORE INTENSE, WITH RESPECT ADDED TOO

 STANZA 3

 NOW INDRA, COME TO HIS SENSES,

 DUE TO THIS DEFEAT,

 CAME WITH HEAVEN'S COW,

 AND POURED WATER ON YOUR HEAD

 STANZA 4

 SURABHI, THE COW POURED ON YOU MILK,

 DRIPPING FROM HER UDDERS, OUT OF LOVE,

 AND INDRA, GLADLY CROWNED YOU KING, GOVING YOU THE NAME GOVINDA,

 WITH WATERS FROM THE DIVINE GANGES ON INDRA'S ELEPHANT'S BACK

 STANZA 5

 WHEN YOU THE KING OF THREE WORLDS,

 WERE CROWNED KING OF AMBAADI,

 THE PLACE GLOWED WITH A GRANDEUR,

 NOT ATTAINED BY EVEN VAIKUNTHHA

 STANZA 6

 ONCE WHEN YOU WERE BATHING IN YAMUNA STREAM,

 HE WAS TAKEN AWAY BY VARUNA'S SERVANT,

 AND YOU, BORN TO PROTECT ALL WORLDS,

 WENT TO HIS CITY, IN SEARCH OF HIM

 STANZA 7

 RECEIVED HURRIEDLY BY VARUNA, YOU

 CAME, WITH YOUR FATHER, HOME,

 AND HE TOLD IT

 TO ALL THE PEOPLE THERE

 STANZA 8

 FINDING THAT THEY, WHO NOW DECIDED THAT YOU WERE NO OTHER THAN GOD,

 AND WERE KEEN ON SEEING YOUR HOME,

 YOU SHOWED THEM MAHAAVISHNU'S SUPREME ABODE,

 NOBODY ELSE HAD EVER SEEN BEFORE

 STANZA 9

 LETTING THEM IMMERSE THEMSELVES LONG,

 IN THE VAST SEA OF LIBERATION,

 INTO WHICH FLOW MANY TWINKLING STREAMS OF JOY,

 YOU LIFTED THEM SLOWLY ON TO EARTH

 STANZA 10

 YOU SHOWED YOUR DEVOTEES THE HIGHEST ABODE OF HEAVEN,

LIKE A NUT IN THE PALM OF THE HAND

 SO YOU, IN THE GUISE OF A COWHERD BOY, WERE CLEARLY GOD HIMSELF

 SAVE ME FROM MY ILLNESS, I PRAY
