na yoga-siddhir na mamāstu mokṣo vaikuṇṭha-loke pi na pārṣadatvam premāpi na syād iti cet tarāṁ tu mamāstu vṛndāvana eva vāsaḥ
Translation

Let me not have mystic powers, impersonal liberation, the Lord's association in Vaikuntha, or even pure love for Him, if instead of them I may reside in Vrndavana.

tārāaṁ janur yatra vidhir yayāce sad-bhakta-cūḍāmaṇir uddhavo’ pi vīkṣyvaiva mādhurya-dhūrāṁ tad asmin mamāstu vṛndāvana eva vāsaḥ
Translation

When Brahma and Uddhava, the crest jewels of devotees, saw the intense sweetness here, they begged to take birth here even as a blade of grass. For this reason I pray to reside in Vrndavana.

kiṁ te kṛtaṁ hanta tapaḥ kṣitīti gopyo pi bhūme stuvate ras kīrtim yenaiva kṛṣṇāńghri-padāńkite smin mamāstu vṛndāvana eva vāsaḥ
Translation

Here the gopis glorified the earth, saying: "O Earth, what austerities have you done, so that your surface is now marked with Krishna's footprints?" May I reside in Vrndavana.

gopāńganā-lampaṭa-taiva yatra yasyāṁ rasaḥ pūrṇatamatvam āpa yato raso vai sa iti śrutis tan mamāstu vṛndāvana eva vāsaḥ
Translation

May I reside in Vrndavana where, because the Vedas say raso vai sah (The Supreme Personality of Godhead is sweetness), transcendental sweetness attained its highest perfection in the gopis' passionate love.

bhāṇḍīra-govardhana-rāsa-pīṭhais trī-sīmake yojana-pañcakena mite vibhutvād amite pi cāsmin mamāstu vṛndāvana eva vāsaḥ
Translation

Although only five yojanas in circumference, bounded by Bhandiravana, Govardhana Hill and the rasa-dance arena, it is unlimited in transcendental opulence. May I reside in Vrndavana.

yatrādhipatyaṁ vṛṣabhānu-putryā yenodayet prema-sukhaṁ janānām yasmin mamāśā balavat yato smin mamāstu vṛndāvana eva vāsaḥ
Translation

Because Vrsabhanu's daughter is the queen, and because here the happiness of pure love of God rises, I yearn to live here. I pray: May I reside in Vrndavana.

yasmin mahā-rāsa-vilāsa-līlā na prāpa yāṁ śrīrapi sā tapobhiḥ tatrollasan-mañju-nikuñja-puñje mamāstu vṛndāvana eva vāsaḥ
Translation

Even by performing many austerities goddess Lakshmi could not enter the great rasa-dance pastime here. May I reside in the splendidly beautiful groves of Vrndavana.

sadā ruru-nyańku-mukhā viśańkaṁ khelanti kūjanti pikāli kīrāḥ śikhaṇḍino yatra naṭanti tasmin mamāstu vṛndāvana eva vāsaḥ
Translation

May I reside in Vrndavana, where the ruru and nyanku deer fearlessly play, the cuckoos, bumblebees, and parrots sing, and the peacocks dance.

vṛndāvanasyāṣṭakam etad uccaiḥ paṭhanti ye niścala-buddhayas te vṛndāvaneśāńghri-saroja-sevāṁ sākṣallabhante januṣo 'nta eva
Translation

They who with great concentration read aloud this Vrndavanastaka, at the end of this life attain direct service to the lotus feet of Vrndavana's master.
