Sri Krishna Karnamrutham / Dwitheeya aaswasa (second chapter) Continues
Parijatham samudhruthya radhavayo, Roopaya masa bhasaa gunairrangane, Sheetha sheethe vate yaamunieeya thate, Sanjakou Venunaa Devaki nandana.., 2-42
In the courtyard of Rukmani,
Who is similar in beauty and age to Radha,
Sitting below a banyan tree in the banks of Yamuna,
The son of Devaki played flute extremely well.
Agre deerga tharoya marjuna tharu sthasygratho varthini, Saagosham samupaithi thath parisare dese kalindathmajam, Thasya stheerathamala kanana thale chakram gavam charayan, Gopa kreedathi darsayishyathi sakhe pandhanamavyahatham,., 2-43
Oh friend, there is a tall Arjuna tree near by,
And the path in front leads to the cowherd's place,
And near by flows the great river Yamuna and near it,
In the forest with green trees, one cowherd,
Is minding the cows and also playing and,
He will show you the stable path to salvation.
Go dhuli saritha komala gopa vesham, Gopala bala kusathai ranugamyamaanam, Sayanthane prathi gruham pasu bandhanartham, Gachantha machyutha sishum pranathosmi nithyam.., 2-44
I daily salute Achutha in the form of a child,
Who is covered with dusts raised by hooves of cows,
Who is being followed by hundreds of cowherd children,
And who goes to every house in the evening, to tie the cows.
Nidhim lavanyaanaam nikhila jagad ascharya nilayam, Nijaa vasam bhaasaam niravadhika nisreya sarasam, Sudha dhara saram sukrutha pari pakam mruga drugam, Prapadhye maangalyam pradhama mayi daivam krutha dhiyaam.., 2-45
I surrender to that primeval God who blesses with all that is good,
Who is the treasure house of beauty, who is the home of all the wonders of the world,
Who is the natural habitat of glow, who is the limitless giver of salvation,
Who is the essence of the rain of nectar and who is the result of good deeds of Gopis.
Aathamrapani kamala pranaya prathodha, Malola hara mani kundala hema suthram, Aavisramambu kanamambuneela mavyaa, Dhadhyam dhanajaya radhabharanam maho na.., 2-46
Let him who is having a whip in his hands as red as the hibiscus flower,
Who is wearing moving ornaments like chain, gem studded ear rings and waist belt
And whose face is all over coated with drops of sweat,
And who is as blue as a water rich cloud and
Who is an ornament to the chariot of Arjuna protect us.
Nakha niyamitha kundun pandavasayandhanaswa, Nanu dhina mabhishincha nnanjalisthai payobhi, Avathu vithatha gathra sthothra nisyutha moulir, Darsana vidhrutha rasmir Devaki punya rasi.., 2-47
Let the result of the good deeds of Devaki protect us,
Who stands with bare body and with a turban,
And with the whip held tightly with his teeth,
Who scratches the back of the horses, taking them to the river,
And who gives bath to the horses by taking water in his hands.
Vruja yuvathi sahaye youvanollasikaye, Sakala shubha vilase kunda mandhara hase, Nivasathu mama chitham thath padayatha vrutham, Muni sarasija bhanou, Nanda gopala soonou.., 2-48
Let my mind constantly dwell on the feet of Krishna,
Who is a help to the ladies of Vruja, who has a body blessed with youth,
Who has all the good living in him, who has a smile with his jasmine bud like teeth,
Who is the sun to the lotus mind of sages and son of king Nanda gopa.
Aranyaanee mardhra smitha madhura bimbhadhara sudhaa, Saranyaa sankrathai sappadhi madhyanVenoo ninaadhai, Dharanya sanandoth pulaka mupa goodangri kamala, Saranyaanaamadhyassa jayathu sareeri madhurima.., 2-49
Victory to him who has a sweet body,
Who melts the forest of Brindavan with his love drenched smile,
And also the music from the flute played by his red lips which is drenched with nectar,
Who is being tightly embraced with joy and with hairs standing upright by goddess earth,
And whose feet are the greatest source of protection of devotees.
Vidhagdha gopala vilasineenaam, Sambhoga chihnangitha sarva gathram, Pavithra maamnaayagiraama gamyam, Brahma prapadhye, nava neetha choram.., 2-50
I surrender to the pure and divine god who steals butter,
Who as a result of love play with expert Gopa maidens,
Is full of signs of passion all over his body.
And who is beyond the reaches of the words of Vedas.
Anthargrahe krishnamavekshya choram, Badhwaa kavatam jananim gathaikaa, Ulookhale dhama nibhadha menam, Thathraapi drushtwasmithaa bhabhoova.., 2-51
Once a Gopi saw the thief Krishna in her house,
And locked him inside and went to complain to Yasodha,
And to her surprise she saw the same Krishna,
Tied to the mortar by a rope by his mother.
Rathna sthale januchara kumara, Sankrantha mathmeeya mukharavindam, Aadhathu kamasthadhala bhagedhaa, Dwilokya dhathree vadanam rurodha.., 2-52
Once the child Krishna crawling on his knees,
Saw his image reflected in the gem studded floor,
And started trying to catch the pretty face reflected there,
And started crying looking at his mother's face.
Aanandhena yasodhayaa samadhitham gopanganaabhischiram, Sasangam vala vidhwisha sakusumai sidhai prithvuakulam, Sershyam gopa kumarakai sakuthukampourair janai sasmitham, Yo drushtassa punathu no muraripu proth kshiptha govardhana.., 2-53
Let us be made holy by the Krishna lifting Govardhana with a smile,
Who is being seen with joy by Yasodha, with long passion by gopa maidens,
Who is being seen with suspicion by Indra and with flowers by the sages,
Who is being seen with sorrow by mother earth and with jealousy by gopa boys,
And is seen by citizens with mercy and with joy by all the others.
Upasathathmavidha puraanaa, Param parasthaannihitham guhaayaam, Vayam yasodhaa sisu bala leelaa, Kadhaa sudhaa sindhushu lelayaama.., 2-54
Let the learned ones who are experts in epics search within,
The cave of their mind, the god who is a divine concept,
But we would prefer to drown in the sea of nectar like stories,
Of the childish pranks of the son of Yasodha.
Vikrethu kaamaa kila gopa kanya, Murario padarpitha chitha vruthi, Dhadhyadhikam moha vasaadhavochath, Govinda, Dhamodhara, Madhavethi.., 2-55
A gopa damsel who went to sell milk and products,
With her mind completely immersed in Krishna,
Loosing her normal sense, instead of Shouting "Milk, curd"
Shouted," Govinda, Dhamodhara and Madhava."
Ulookhalam vaa yaminaam mano vaa, Gopanganaanaam kucha kudmalam vaa, Murari namna kalabhasya noona, Malana maseedh thrayameva bhoomou.., 2-56
There are only three places where,
Krishna the elephant can be tied,
And they are the mortar, the mind of sages,
And the pretty breasts of the gopa maidens.
Kararavindena padara vindam, Makharavinde vinivesayantham, Vatasya pathrasya pute sayaanaam, Balam Mukundam manasaa smarami.., 2-57
With my mind I think of that child Mukunda,
Who with his lotus like hand catches his lotus like feet,
And brings it near his lotus like face and steals our heart,
And sleeps peacefully on a banyan leaf.
Shambho, swagatha massyathaamitha, itho vaamena padmasana, Krounchare, kusalam, sukham sura pathe, vithesa no drusyase, Itham swapna gathasya kaidabha jitha sruthwa yasodhaa giraa, Kim kim, balaka jalpaseethi rachitham dhoo dhoo krutham pathu na.., 2-58
When the child started muttering in his sleep,
"Welcome to you Lord Shiva, come and sit near me,
Oh Brahma you can sit on my left side,
How are you Subrahmanya riding on peacock,
Are you all right Indra, You are not seen these days Kubhera"
Yasoda told, "Baby what is this meaningless prattle,".
And did rituals to protect the baby and let those protect all of us.
Matha, kim yadhu natha, dehi chashakam,kim thena, pathu paya, Sthannasthyadhya, kadasthi vaa, nisi, nisaa kaa, vandhakarayo, Aameelakshi yugam nisanyupagatha deheethi mathur muhur, Vakshojambhara karshanodhyatha kara, krishnassa pushnathu na.., 2-59
Mother, What lord of Yadus, give me cup, What is the need, to drink milk,
No it is not now, when is the time, at night, when is night, when it is dark.
And when he heard this, he closed his eyes and told that night has come,
And started pulling her upper dress and let that Krishna protect us.
Kalindee pulinodhareshu musali yavath gatha khelithum, Thavath karbhooritham paa, piba hare vardhishyathe they shikhaa, Itham bala thaya prathaarana param sruthwa yasodhaa giraa, Payanna swashikhaam sprusan pramudhitha ksheeredhapeethe hari.., 2-60
When Yasoda told Sri Krishna in a deceiving manner,
"Hey Krishna, please drink the milk kept in the golden cup,
When Balarama is playing in the sand dunes of Yamuna,
So that your hair will grow.", like a child that he is,
Drinking half the cup of milk, Krishna touched his hair to see whether it has grown,
And became happy and let this happiness save us.
Kailaso nava netha ithi kshithirayam prak jagdha mrulloshtathi, Ksheerodhopi nipeetha ndughdathi lasad smere prahulle mukhe, Mathaa jeerna dhiya drudam chakithaya nashtasmi drushti kayaa, Dhoo dhoo vathsaka jeeva, jeeva chiram ithyukthom no hari.., 2-61
When the mouth of Krishna opens when he is shining with a smile,
Yasoda saw Kailasa mountain and thought it is undigested butter,
She saw the earth and thought that it was the mud eaten by Krishna,
And seeing the ocean of milk, she thought it is undigested milk,
And these thoughts made her think that her child was having indigestion,
And she was very scared and told, "I have lost everything,
An evil eye has fallen on my child due to some bad woman,
And let it be driven out far away and let my child live,
And let him have a long life" and let that Krishna who heard this protect us.
Kinchid kunchitha lochanasya pibatha paryaya peetham sthanam, Sadhya prasnutha dugdha bindumaparam hasthena sammarjatha, Mathraikanguli lalithasya chibuke smerananasyadhare, Soure ksheera kananwitha nipathitha dandha dythi pathu na.., 2-62
Let us be protected by the shine of the milk drenched white teeth of Krishna
Who drinks his mother's milk alternatively from her right and left breasts,
And who keeps fondling with a hand the breast that he is not drinking from,
And whose smiling face is fondled on his chin by a finger of his mother.
Uthunga sthana mandalo parilasad pralamba muktha mane, Ranthar bimbitha mindra neela nikara chayanu kari dhyuthi, Lajja vyaja mupethya namra vadhanaa spashtam murarer vapu, Pasyanthi mudhithaa mudhesthu bhavathaam Laksmi vivohathsave.., 2-63
Rugmani during her marriage was seeing the image of Krishna,
Who was shining like a blue sapphire stone,
On the pearls of her chain lying over her very high breasts,
Feigning that she was shy and again and again became happy,
And let her happiness be the cause of your happiness.
Krishnenamba, gathena ranthu madhana, mrud bakshitham swechaya, Thadhyam Krishna, ka yevamaha, musali mithyambha pasyananam, Vyadeheethi vidharithe sisu mukhe drusthwa samastham jagan, Matha yasya jagama vismaya padam payath san a Kesava.., 2-64
"Mother, when Krishna went to play, he himself ate lot of mud,"
"Krishna, is it true", "Mother Balarama is lying, and if you want you can see."
And that mother saw all the worlds in the open mouth of her child,
And let that Krishna who surprised his mother thus protect us.
Swathi sapathni kila tharakaanaam, Muktha phalaanam jananeethi roshath, Saa Rohini nilamasootha rathnam, Kruthaspadam Gopa vadhoo kucheshu.., 2-65
Rohini[13] gave birth to the sapphire,
Which is in between the breasts of Gopis,
Due to her anger that one of her co wives,
Among stars, Swathi gave birth to a pearl.
Nruthyantha mathyantha vilokaneeyam, Krishnam mani stamba gatham Mrugakshi, Nireekshya sakshadivaKrishna magre, Dwidhaa vithena navaneethamekam.., 2-66
The doe eyed lady seeing the image of,
Krishna who was dancing and playing,
On the pillar made of pearls and gems,
Thought it too was another Krishna and divided,
The butter in her hand in to two halves.
Vathsa jagruhi vibhathamagatham, Jeeva Krishna, saradham satham satham, Ithyudheerya suchiram Yasodhayaa, Drusya manam Bhajamahe.., 2-67
We salute Lord Krishna whose face,
Is intently stared with love by Yasodha,
Saying, "Krishna, please wake up,
Morning has come. May you live hundred years."
Oshtam jigran sisuriti dhiya chumbitho vallaveebhi, Kandam gruhna aruntha padam gadam alingithanga, Dhoshnaa lajja pada mabhimrusan anga maropithango, Dhoortha swami garathu duritham dhooratho Balakrishna.., 2-68
Let all our problems be solved by the child Krishna who is a rogue,
Who when kissed by Gopis as he was a child tasted their lips,
Who when embraced as a child, caressed their necks till they are red,
And who when they make him sit on their lap made them,
Squirm with shyness by touching again and again their private parts.
Yethe Lakshmana, Janaki virahinam, maam khedhayandhyam budha, Marmaanive cha ghatayanthyalamamee kroorrakadambhanila, Itham vyahrutha Poorva janma charitho yo Radhaya Veekshitha, Sershyaasamkithaya sa nasshkhayathu swapnayamano hari.., 2-69
Let us be given happiness by Krishna, who was watched by Radha,
With great jealousy and suspicion when he muttered during his sleep,
About his previous birth, "Hey Lakshmana, being not with Sita,
These clouds trouble me and this slow cruel breeze,
Coming after touching the Kadamba trees are breaking my secret places."
Oshtam, munchahare, bhibhemi bhavatha panair hathaa poothanaa, Kanda slesha mamum jaheehi dalithaa valinganorjjunou, Maa dehi chsuritham Hiranya kasipur neeho navai panchatha, Mitham varitha Rathri keeli ravathallakshyapa hasodhari.., 2-70
Let Hari,who with words of humor teased during love making by Rukhmani,
Saying, "do nor drink from my lips, for you killed Poothana by drinking thus,
Do not hug my neck because by such a hug you powdered two big trees,
And do not caress with your nails, because Hiranya kasipu was killed by them.", protect us.
Ramo nama bhabhuva hoom, thadabala seethethi hoom thou pithur, Vachaa Pancha vatee vane viharatha sthamahad ravana, Nidhrartham janani kadhamithi hare hoonkarena srunwatha, Soumithre, kwa dhanurdhanudhanurithi vyagraa gira panthu naa.., 2-71
There was a man called Rama, yes,
Name of his wife was Sita, yes,
According to the words of the father they
Lived in a forest called Panchavati, yes,
At that time Ravana carried away Sita,
For getting sleep when mother was telling this,
And he was nodding saying "yes",
Let the furious words uttered by Lord Krishna then,
"Hey Lakshmana, where is my bow, bow, bow ?", protect us.
Balopi shailodharanagra pani, Neelopi neerandra thama pradheepa, Dheeropi radha nayanavabadho, Jaropi samsara hara kadasthwam?., 2-72
How is it that though he was a boy he lifted a mountain,
Though he is blue in colour, he shows light in darkness,
Though he is brave he is tied by the eyes of Radha,
Though a secret lover, he saves us from domestic life?
Baalaya neela vapushe nava minkineeka, Jaalabhi rama jaganaaya digambaraya, Sardhoola divya nakha bhooshana bhooshithaya, Nandathmajaya navaneetha mushe namasthe.., 2-73
My salutations to son of Nanda gopa,
Who steals fresh butter, who is a child,
Who is blue, who wears new jingling chain on his hips
Who does not wear any cloths,
And who also wears ornament with tiger's nail.
Panou payasa bhakthamahitha rasam bhibran mudhaa dakshine, Savye saarada chandra mandala nibham hayyanga veenam dadath, Kante kalpitha pundarika nakhaapyudhama theertham vahan, Devo divya digambaro disathu na soukhyam Yasoda sisu.., 2-74
Let us be given all that is good by the child of Yasoda,
Who keeps in his right hand the very tastey payasa[14],
Who keeps on his left hand the white globe like butter,
Who wears on his neck as an ornament of tiger's nails,
And who has glorious shine and is without any cloth.
Kinkini kini kini rabhasai, Rankana bhuvi rinkanai ssadhatantham, Kunkunu pada yugalam, Kankana kara bhooshanam harim vande.., 2-75
I salute Krishna who wears bangles as ornament,
Who walks all over the courtyard making,
Kini kini sound from the bells tied to his ornamental waist belt,
Anu Kunu kunu sound from the anklets on his legs.
Sambhadhe saura bheena, Mambamayasa yanthamanuyanthim, Lambala kamalambe, Tham baalam thanu vilagna jambalam.., 2-76
I depend on the child with mud all over his body,
Who makes his mother tired because when she comes in search,
He runs in between the herds of cows,
And who has scattered and hanging hair.
Anchitha pincha choodam, Sanchitha soujanya vallavee valayam, Adhara mani nihitha venum, Balam gopala manias mavalambr.., 2-77
I depend on Krishna the child cowherd,
Who wears a peacock feather,
Who is surrounded by loving Gopa maidens,
And who keeps the flute near his pretty lips.
Prahladha bhagadeyam,nigama ganamaha guhaanthradheyam, Nrahari padabhi deyam vihudha vidheyam mamanu sandheyam.., 2-78
The luck of Prahladha, who lives in the cave of the mountain of Vedas,
Who is denoted by the word Narasimha, who removes the sorrow of devas,
Is the concept that is suitable for my prayer.
Samsare kim saram, kamsarescharana kamala paribhajanam, Jyothi kimandhare yadandhakaare anu smaranam.., 2-79
The meaning of life consists of singing about the feet of him who killed Kamsa,
For even in darkness of ignorance, his thought only will show us the way out.
Kalasa nabva neetha chore kamala druk kumudha handrika poore,
Viharathu nanda kmare chetho mama gopa sundari jaare.., 2-80
Let my mind play with the son of Nanda gopa who is the secret lover of gopis,
Who is the thief stealing butter from the pot and a sun to the lotus eyes of Lakshmi.
Kasthwam bala balanuja, kimiha theymanmandhirasankhaya,
Yuktham than navaneetha pithra vivare hastham kimartha nyase,
Matha kanchana vathsakam mrugayithum maa gaa vishadam kshanaa,
Dithyevam vara vallavee prathivacha krishnasys pushnathu na.., 2-81
Who are you child asked the Gopi,
I am the brother of Balarama replied he,
Why are you in this house she asked,
I thought it is my house said he,
But why are you keeping your hand in butter pot asked she,
I was searching for the missing calf there said he,
And let this conversation between Krishna and Gopi protect us.

Kailaso nava netha ithi kshithirayam prak jagdha mrulloshtathi, Ksheerodhopi nipeetha ndughdathi lasad smere prahulle mukhe, Mathaa jeerna dhiya drudam chakithaya nashtasmi drushti kayaa, Dhoo dhoo vathsaka jeeva, jeeva chiram ithyukthom no hari.., 2-61
When the mouth of Krishna opens when he is shining with a smile,
Yasoda saw Kailasa mountain and thought it is undigested butter,
She saw the earth and thought that it was the mud eaten by Krishna,
And seeing the ocean of milk, she thought it is undigested milk,
And these thoughts made her think that her child was having indigestion,
And she was very scared and told, "I have lost everything,
An evil eye has fallen on my child due to some bad woman,
And let it be driven out far away and let my child live,
And let him have a long life" and let that Krishna who heard this protect us.
Kinchid kunchitha lochanasya pibatha paryaya peetham sthanam, Sadhya prasnutha dugdha bindumaparam hasthena sammarjatha, Mathraikanguli lalithasya chibuke smerananasyadhare, Soure ksheera kananwitha nipathitha dandha dythi pathu na.., 2-62
Let us be protected by the shine of the milk drenched white teeth of Krishna
Who drinks his mother's milk alternatively from her right and left breasts,
And who keeps fondling with a hand the breast that he is not drinking from,
And whose smiling face is fondled on his chin by a finger of his mother.
Uthunga sthana mandalo parilasad pralamba muktha mane, Ranthar bimbitha mindra neela nikara chayanu kari dhyuthi, Lajja vyaja mupethya namra vadhanaa spashtam murarer vapu, Pasyanthi mudhithaa mudhesthu bhavathaam Laksmi vivohathsave.., 2-63
Rugmani during her marriage was seeing the image of Krishna,
Who was shining like a blue sapphire stone,
On the pearls of her chain lying over her very high breasts,
Feigning that she was shy and again and again became happy,
And let her happiness be the cause of your happiness.
Krishnenamba, gathena ranthu madhana, mrud bakshitham swechaya, Thadhyam Krishna, ka yevamaha, musali mithyambha pasyananam, Vyadeheethi vidharithe sisu mukhe drusthwa samastham jagan, Matha yasya jagama vismaya padam payath san a Kesava.., 2-64
"Mother, when Krishna went to play, he himself ate lot of mud,"
"Krishna, is it true", "Mother Balarama is lying, and if you want you can see."
And that mother saw all the worlds in the open mouth of her child,
And let that Krishna who surprised his mother thus protect us.
Swathi sapathni kila tharakaanaam, Muktha phalaanam jananeethi roshath, Saa Rohini nilamasootha rathnam, Kruthaspadam Gopa vadhoo kucheshu.., 2-65
Rohini[13] gave birth to the sapphire,
Which is in between the breasts of Gopis,
Due to her anger that one of her co wives,
Among stars, Swathi gave birth to a pearl.

Krishna who was dancing and playing,
On the pillar made of pearls and gems,
Thought it too was another Krishna and divided,
The butter in her hand in to two halves.

Saying, "Krishna, please wake up,
Morning has come. May you live hundred years."

Let all our problems be solved by the child Krishna who is a rogue,
Who when kissed by Gopis as he was a child tasted their lips,
Who when embraced as a child, caressed their necks till they are red,
And who when they make him sit on their lap made them,
Squirm with shyness by touching again and again their private parts.
Yethe Lakshmana, Janaki virahinam, maam khedhayandhyam budha, Marmaanive cha ghatayanthyalamamee kroorrakadambhanila, Itham vyahrutha Poorva janma charitho yo Radhaya Veekshitha, Sershyaasamkithaya sa nasshkhayathu swapnayamano hari.., 2-69
Let us be given happiness by Krishna, who was watched by Radha,
With great jealousy and suspicion when he muttered during his sleep,
About his previous birth, "Hey Lakshmana, being not with Sita,
These clouds trouble me and this slow cruel breeze,
Coming after touching the Kadamba trees are breaking my secret places."
Oshtam, munchahare, bhibhemi bhavatha panair hathaa poothanaa, Kanda slesha mamum jaheehi dalithaa valinganorjjunou, Maa dehi chsuritham Hiranya kasipur neeho navai panchatha, Mitham varitha Rathri keeli ravathallakshyapa hasodhari.., 2-70
Let Hari,who with words of humor teased during love making by Rukhmani,
Saying, "do nor drink from my lips, for you killed Poothana by drinking thus,
Do not hug my neck because by such a hug you powdered two big trees,
And do not caress with your nails, because Hiranya kasipu was killed by them.", protect us.
Ramo nama bhabhuva hoom, thadabala seethethi hoom thou pithur, Vachaa Pancha vatee vane viharatha sthamahad ravana, Nidhrartham janani kadhamithi hare hoonkarena srunwatha, Soumithre, kwa dhanurdhanudhanurithi vyagraa gira panthu naa.., 2-71
There was a man called Rama, yes,
Name of his wife was Sita, yes,
According to the words of the father they
Lived in a forest called Panchavati, yes,
At that time Ravana carried away Sita,
For getting sleep when mother was telling this,
And he was nodding saying "yes",
Let the furious words uttered by Lord Krishna then,
"Hey Lakshmana, where is my bow, bow, bow ?", protect us.
Balopi shailodharanagra pani, Neelopi neerandra thama pradheepa, Dheeropi radha nayanavabadho, Jaropi samsara hara kadasthwam?., 2-72
How is it that though he was a boy he lifted a mountain,
Though he is blue in colour, he shows light in darkness,
Though he is brave he is tied by the eyes of Radha,
Though a secret lover, he saves us from domestic life?

My salutations to son of Nanda gopa,
Who steals fresh butter, who is a child,
Who is blue, who wears new jingling chain on his hips
Who does not wear any cloths,
And who also wears ornament with tiger's nail.

Let us be given all that is good by the child of Yasoda,
Who keeps in his right hand the very tastey payasa[14],
Who keeps on his left hand the white globe like butter,
Who wears on his neck as an ornament of tiger's nails,
And who has glorious shine and is without any cloth.

Who wears a peacock feather,
Who is surrounded by loving Gopa maidens,
And who keeps the flute near his pretty lips.

The luck of Prahladha, who lives in the cave of the mountain of Vedas,
Who is denoted by the word Narasimha, who removes the sorrow of devas,
Is the concept that is suitable for my prayer.
Samsare kim saram, kamsarescharana kamala paribhajanam, Jyothi kimandhare yadandhakaare anu smaranam.., 2-79
The meaning of life consists of singing about the feet of him who killed Kamsa,
For even in darkness of ignorance, his thought only will show us the way out.

Viharathu nanda kmare chetho mama gopa sundari jaare.., 2-80
Let my mind play with the son of Nanda gopa who is the secret lover of gopis,
Who is the thief stealing butter from the pot and a sun to the lotus eyes of Lakshmi.
Kasthwam bala balanuja, kimiha theymanmandhirasankhaya,
Yuktham than navaneetha pithra vivare hastham kimartha nyase,
Matha kanchana vathsakam mrugayithum maa gaa vishadam kshanaa,
Dithyevam vara vallavee prathivacha krishnasys pushnathu na.., 2-81
Who are you child asked the Gopi,
I am the brother of Balarama replied he,
Why are you in this house she asked,
I thought it is my house said he,
But why are you keeping your hand in butter pot asked she,
I was searching for the missing calf there said he,
And let this conversation between Krishna and Gopi protect us.
