Gatha Chandah Stava
AI-drafted translation — pending review
Glory to him who delights the multitudes of cowherd wives, who has outrun even the swiftest flight of arrows in his sport, 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
