TRANSLATION
1)
The nectar of Your words and the descriptions of Your activities are
the life and soul of those suffering in this material world. These
narrations, transmitted by learned sages, eradicate one's sinful
reactions and bestow good fortune upon whoever hears them. These
narrations are broadcast all over the world and are filled with
spiritual power. Certainly those who spread the message of Godhead are
most munificent.
2) The gopis said: O beloved, Your
birth in the land of Vraja has made it exceedingly glorious, and thus
Indira, the goddess of fortune, always resides here. It is only for Your
sake that we, Your devoted servants, maintain our lives. We have been
searching everywhere for You, so please show Yourself to us.
3)
O Lord of love, in beauty Your glance excels the whorl of the finest,
most perfectly formed lotus within the autumn pond. O bestower of
benedictions, You are killing the maidservants who have given themselves
to You freely, without any price. Isn't this murder
4)
O greatest of personalities, You have repeatedly saved us from all
kinds of danger - from poisoned water, from the terrible man-eater Agha,
from the great rains, from the wind demon, from the fiery thunderbolt
of Indra, from the bull demon and from the son of Maya Danava.
5)
You are not actually the son of the gopi Yasoda, O friend, but rather
the indwelling witness in the hearts of all embodied souls. Because Lord
Brahma prayed for You to come and protect the universe, You have now
appeared in the Satvata dynasty.
