nanda-tanujanur adya vyalam
hatavan hṛtavan asmat-kalam

Today the son of Nanda killed a snake and rescued us from danger.

oṣṭhadharam iha jalada-taṭaliḥ dantavalir api dantaka-paliḥ
अर्थ

"This snake's lips are many rainclouds. Its teeth are a row of mountain peaks.

śvasa-bharaḥ khara-davaja-vataḥ jihva-yugam api vartma-nipataḥ
अर्थ

"Its breath is the acrid wind from a forest-fire. Its forked tongue is a highway."

ity utprekṣitatama-vividhaṅgan vyatihasan acarataḥ saṅgan
अर्थ

We made these guesses about its limbs and we all laughed.

ahim anv ahitaṁ kalpayamanan girir iti taṁ viśataḥ kṛtamanan
अर्थ

Although we could clearly see it was a snake, we said "It is a mountain", and entered within it.

tad-udara-madhya kṛtabhyanuveśaṇ nija-virahadi-vimurchita-veśan
अर्थ

We marched into the snake's belly, separated ourselves from Kṛṣṇa, and then fainted unconscious.

sneha-bharad atha svena sametan svaka-netramṛta-vṛṣṭi-sacetan
अर्थ

Out of great love our friend Kṛṣṇa found us and restored our consciousness by showering us with the nectar of His glance.

tasmad bahir atha niṣkasitavan punar iha nikhilaṁ bata darśitavan
अर्थ

He brought us out of the snake and showed all of us what had happened.

pranad adhikaḥ so 'yam praṇan rakṣan asman kurute traṇan
अर्थ

In this way, Kṛṣṇa, who is more dear to us than our own lives, saved our lives and protected us.
