Translation

Glory to him who delights the multitudes of cowherd wives, whose garment outshines heaps of the finest gold, who performs deeds of magnanimous and playful skill, whose feet are cherished by all, whose strength is unfathomable, made radiantly resplendent beyond measure by ever-fresh multitudes of glory.

About Gatha Chandah Stava
