TRANSLATION
1) Glories, glories to Lord Hari, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who
rests on the breasts of the Goddess of Fortune, who is adorned with jeweled
earrings, and wears a garland of forest flowers!

2) The Lord's face shines like the sun globe. He destroys the cycle of birth and
death, and rests in the lakes of the swan-like saintly persons. Glories! Glories
to Lord Sri Hari, Supreme Personality of Godhead!

3) O Supreme Personality of Godhead who destroyed the poisonous serpent,

Kaliya! You are the beloved of all living entities, and the sun in the galaxy of
the Yadu dynasty. Glories! Glories to Lord Sri Hari!

4) O Supreme Personality of Godhead, destroyer of the demons Madhu, Mura

and Narakasura! You are seated on Garuda, and You are the source of joy for
the demigods! All glories! Glories to Hari!

You destroy the cycle of birth and death. You are the treasure mine of the
three worlds. All glories! Glories to Lord Hari!

6) O Supreme Personality of Godhead (in the incarnation of Lord Ramacandra),

as the gem of the daughter of Janaka (Sita devi), You were victorious over the
demon, Dusana, and You defeated the ten-headed demon, Ravana, in battle.
All glories! Glories to Lord Hari!

7) O Supreme Personality of Godhead, whose complexion is like a fresh

monsoon cloud, Who lifted Govardhana Hill, and Srimati Radharani is like a
cakora bird who is nourished by drinking the light of Your moonlike face.
Glories! Glories to Lord Hari!

8) O Supreme Personality of Godhead, we offer my humble obeisances at Your

lotus feet. Please bestow auspiciousness to those who offer obeisances to You!
Glories! Glories to Lord Sri Hari!
