Lord of the world! Son of NANDA! May you be victorious!
The beauty of your eyes put to shame that of the lotus. Hearing your glorious exploits allays the fear of the people of the three worlds.
You danced on the hood of the great serpent KALIYA. Oh vanquisher of the demon SAKATA! Your face is akin to the moon.
Enchanter of the hearts of the cowherd damsels – VRAJA NARI-s, your speech is nectarine. You are worshipful master of the sages.
You are bedecked in gem encrusted ornaments. Mortals and celestials hold your famous exploits in high esteem, Oh Lord! PADMANABHA!

(Translation by Dr. T.K Govinda Rao)
