TRANSLATION

1. I worship Lord K rsn a, Who is the spiritual master of the universe, Who is the son of Vasudeva, Who is the Lord, Who killed Kamsa and Ca n ura, and Who is the bliss of Devaki.

 

2. I worship Lord K rsn a, Who is the spiritual master of the universe, Who is surrounded by flowers, Who is adorned with a garland and anklets, and Who has gem-studded necklace and arm-bracelet.

 

3. I worship Lord K rsn a, Who is the spiritual master of the universe, Who is adorned with curly locks of hair, Who has a face resplendent like full-moon, and Who has shining earrings.

 

4. I worship Lord K rsn a, Who is the spiritual master of the universe, Who is with the perfume of Mandara (a coral tree flower), Who has beautiful smile, Who has four hands (as Vi sn u), and Who has peacock feather at the forehead.

 

5. I worship Lord K rsn a, Who is the spiritual master of the universe, Who has eyes like blooming lotus flower, Who resembles a new blue cloud, and Who is the best in the dynasty of Yadu.

 

6. I worship Lord K rsn a, Who is the spiritual master of the universe, Who plays with Rukmi ni

(Lak s mi), Who is adorned with yellow-robes, and Who has obtained Tulasi perfume.

 

7. I worship Lord K rsn a, Who is the spiritual master of the universe, Who has the marks of saffron from the dual-breasts of the cowherdesses, Who is the abode of Lak s mi (Sri), and Who has mighty arrows.

 

8. I worship Lord K rsn a, Who is the spiritual master of the universe, Who has the sign of ‘‘Srivatsa’’ at His broad-chest, Who has a flower-garland, and Who holds a conch and a discus.

 

Having awakened in the morning, those who study these blissful prayers glorifying Sri K rsn a, destroy their sins of millions from birth.
