Krsnaya Vasudevaya Devaki Nandanaya Ca
AI-drafted translation — pending review
Obeisance, again and again, unto Krishna, the son of Vasudeva, the son of Devaki, the child of Nanda the cowherd king — Govinda, the giver of delight.
Obeisance to him whose navel bears a lotus; obeisance to him garlanded with lotuses; obeisance to him whose eyes are lotuses; obeisance to you whose feet are lotuses.
O Lord of the universe, let those calamities come again and again, for in encountering them we behold you — and that vision itself means never again beholding this repeated birth and death.
A person whose pride swells with high birth, opulence, learning, and beauty is never fit to address you, who are approached only by those who possess nothing.
For those who suffer in this material existence because of ignorance, desire, and fruitive action, this was composed, so that they might have something worthy of hearing and remembering — so some say.
O Lord of Madhu, may my mind's attachment, fixed on you alone without deviation, flow to you directly, just as the River Ganges' current flows on to the ocean.
