KRISHNA

Vasudeva sutam devam

Kamsa-Chanoora mardanam
Devaki parama-anandam
Krishnam vande Jagatgurum

I do vandana (glorification) of Lord Krishna, the resplendent son of Vasudev, who

killed the great tormentors like Kamsa and Chanoora, who is a source of greatest
joy to Devaki, and who is indeed a world teacher.
