O son of Vasudeva, O Lord who destroyed Kamsa and Chanuura

O Joy of mother Devaki, Salutations O Krishna, the teacher of the world.

Aswathama and Vikarna were the dangerous alligators, Duryodhana was the whirlpool,
Pandavas crossed this river of war with Krishna as their helmsman.

May this lotus of the Mahabharata, born in the lake of the words of Vyasa (Son of
Parashara), with intense sweet fragrance of the essense of Gita, with many stories as its
stamens, fully opened by the discourses on Hari, the destroyer of the effects of Kaliyuga,
and drunk joyously by the bees of good men in the world, day by day become the bestower
of good to us.

I bow down to Sri Krishna, the source of all joy, whose compassion brings speech from the
lips of the dumb and carries the lame over mountains

यं मा व णे म तः तु वि त द यैः तवैः वेदैः सा गपद मोप नषदै ः गायि त यं सामगाः ।

यानावि थतत गतेन मनसा प यि त यं यो गनः य या तं न वदःु सरु ासरु गणाः दे वाय त मै नमः ॥ ९॥
Salutation to him who is worshipped with divine chants by Brahma, Varuna, Indra , Rudra,
Maruta, Who is pleased by singers of Sama Veda by singing Vedas and Upanishads
following the word sequence, Who is seen by yogis who are absorbed in him, with their mind
merging in him, And whose end is not known even by the hoards of devas and Asuras.
