Obeisance 15

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, in three births You became the Son of Devakī andVasudeva. When You were born in Your father's presence, You were pleased by His sincere worship, and You grantede all benedictions to him.

O beautiful Lord Kṛṣṇa, O Supreme Spirit whose form resembles that of a human child, and who performs pastimes in that eternal form, giving great transcendental bliss to Your mother and father, (all glories unto You).

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, You instructed (Vasudeva) how You could escape (the wrath of Kaṁsa) and You bewildered the guards standing at the prison gate and caused them all to fall asleep. It was by Your arrangement that Your potency Māyā was born as the daughter of Yasodā.

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, Your potency unlocked all the doors and You were carried away by Your father. The hoods of the serpent Ananta Śeṣa became Your umbrella, and the Yamunā river gave You a clear path.

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, O Great Auspiciousness of Vraja, You were placed on Yasodā's bed. and she, Nanda Mahrāja and the other cowherd men, bewildered by sleep, did not notice. (All glories unto You).
