O Lord who became angry at Dvivida's terrible mischief, O Lord who enjoyed pastimes on Mount Raivata, O Lord unseen by the foolish conditioned souls, . . .
. . . O Lord who enjoyed pastimes with many beautiful gopis, O Lord who was angered by a gorilla's arrogant mischief, O Lord who wonderfully fought with the gorilla, . . .
. . . O Lord who after a long duel finally killed the most wicked of gorillas, O Lord who was pleased by the prayers and obeisances of the demigods and sages, O Lord who gathered the Yādava armies when the Kauravas kidnaped Sāmba, . . .
. . . O Lord who went to the Kauravas' capitol to make peace with them, O Lord who heard their insults, . . .
. . . O Lord who became very angry with the Kauravas, O Lord who with Your plow dragged Hastināpura, O Lord who filled everyone with wonder, . . .
. . . O Lord of whose feet the frightened Kauravas took shelter, O Lord who thus ended the quarrel, O Lord who saw Sāmba and his wife reunited, O Lord who happily took them home, . . .
. . . Now, together with Your brother, You have come to Gokula, the place of Your birth. O Lord Balarāma, who delight only in Your younger brother, glory, glory, glory to You!
