O pleaser of the cows! O protector of the cows! O bearer of the finest hair! O husband of the goddess of fortune! You are very merciful to the fallen souls!
You are supremely merciful, O Lord, supremely merciful! O Keśava! O Mādhava! O Dīna Doyāl!
Wearing bright yellow garments and a peacock feather upon Your crown, You play the flute and make it sing the name of Rādhā.
You are the cowherd boy that gives great delight, O Lord, the cowherd boy that gives great delight! O Keśava! O Mādhava! O Dīna Doyāl!
You take away our fear of being trapped on the wheel of repeated birth and death in the material world, and You are the splendrous killer of the demon Madhu. The destroyer of all tribulations, You are the supreme resting place for all souls.
