namāmīśvaraṁ sac-cid-ānanda-rūpaṁ
lasat-kuṇḍalaṁ gokule bhrājamanam
yaśodā-bhiyolūkhalād dhāvamānaṁ
parāmṛṣṭam atyantato drutya gopyā
To the Supreme Lord, whose form is the embodiment of eternal existence,

knowledge, and bliss, whose shark-shaped earrings are swinging to and fro, who is
beautifully shining in the divine realm of Gokula, who I (due to the offense of
breaking the pot of yogurt that His mother was churning into butter and then
stealing the butter that was kept hanging from a swing) is quickly running from the
wooden grinding mortar in fear of mother Yasoda, but who has been caught from
behind by her who ran after Him with greater speed--to that Supreme Lord, Sri
Damodara, I offer my humble obeisances.

rudantaṁ muhur netra-yugmaṁ mṛjantam
karāmbhoja-yugmena sātańka-netram
muhuḥ śvāsa-kampa-trirekhāńka-kaṇṭha-
sthita-graivaṁ dāmodaraṁ bhakti-baddham
(Seeing the whipping stick in His mother's hand) He is crying and rubbing His eyes
again and again with His two lotus hands. His eyes are filled with fear, and the
necklace of pearls around His neck, which is marked with three lines like a conch
shell, is shaking because of His quick breathing due to crying. To this Supreme
Lord, Sri Damodara, whose belly is bound not with ropes but with His mother's
pure love, I offer my humble obeisances.

itīdṛk sva-līlābhir ānanda-kuṇḍe
sva-ghoṣaṁ nimajjantam ākhyāpayantam
tadīyeṣita-jñeṣu bhaktair jitatvaṁ
punaḥ prematas taṁ śatāvṛtti vande
By such childhood pastimes as this He is drowning the inhabitants of Gokula in

pools of ecstasy, and is revealing to those devotees who are absorbed in
knowledge of His supreme majesty and opulence that He is only conquered by
devotees whose pure love is imbued with intimacy and is free from all conceptions
of awe and reverence. With great love I again offer my obeisances to Lord
Damodara hundreds and hundreds of times.

varaṁ deva mokṣaṁ na mokṣāvadhiṁ vā
na canyaṁ vṛṇe ‘haṁ vareṣād apīha
idaṁ te vapur nātha gopāla-bālaṁ
sadā me manasy āvirāstāṁ kim anyaiḥ
O Lord, although You are able to give all kinds of benedictions, I do not pray to You
for the boon of impersonal liberation, nor the highest liberation of eternal life in
Vaikuntha, nor any other boon (which may be obtained by executing the nine
processes of bhakti). O Lord, I simply wish that this form of Yours as Bala Gopala
in Vrndavana may ever be manifest in my heart, for what is the use to me of any
other boon besides this?
(5)
idaṁ te mukhāmbhojam atyanta-nīlair
vṛtaṁ kuntalaiḥ snigdha-raktaiś ca gopyā
muhuś cumbitaṁ bimba-raktādharaṁ me
manasy āvirāstām alaṁ lakṣa-lābhaiḥ
O Lord, Your lotus face, which is encircled by locks of soft black hair tinged with
red, is kissed again and again by mother Yasoda, and Your lips are reddish like the
bimba fruit. May this beautiful vision of Your lotus face be ever manifest in my
heart. Thousands and thousands of other benedictions are of no use to me.

namo deva dāmodarānanta viṣṇo
prasīda prabho duḥkha-jālābdhi-magnam
kṛpā-dṛṣṭi-vṛṣṭyāti-dīnaṁ batānu
gṛhāṇeṣa mām ajñam edhy akṣi-dṛśyaḥ
O Supreme Godhead, I offer my obeisances unto You. O Damodara! O Ananta! O

Vishnu! O master! O my Lord, be pleased upon me. By showering Your glance of
mercy upon me, deliver this poor ignorant fool who is immersed in an ocean of
worldly sorrows, and become visible to my eyes.

kuverātmajau baddha-mūrtyaiva yadvat
tvayā mocitau bhakti-bhājau kṛtau ca
tathā prema-bhaktiṁ svakāṁ me prayaccha
na mokṣe graho me ‘sti dāmodareha
O Lord Damodara, just as the two sons of Kuvera--Manigriva and Nalakuvara--were

delivered from the curse of Narada and made into great devotees by You in Your
form as a baby tied with rope to a wooden grinding mortar, in the same way,
please give to me Your own prema-bhakti. I only long for this and have no desire
for any kind of liberation.
(8)
namas te ‘stu dāmne sphurad-dīpti-dhāmne
tvadīyodarāyātha viśvasya dhāmne
namo rādhikāyai tvadīya-priyāyai
namo ‘nanta-līlāya devāya tubhyam
O Lord Damodara, I first of all offer my obeisances to the brilliantly effulgent rope
which binds Your belly. I then offer my obeisances to Your belly, which is the abode
of the entire universe. I humbly bow down to Your most beloved Srimati Radharani,
and I offer all obeisances to You, the Supreme Lord, who displays unlimited
pastimes.
