I contemplate on the son of NANDA.
He is expert in granting all boons, his glories are praised by all celestials and sages.
He finds pleasure in playing on the flute-MURALIGANARASIAKA; the deep blue hued; lover of the cowherd maidens; slayer of SISUPALA; His crown shines more brilliant than a crore of suns; is refuge to all souls; the charm of His face excels the moon.
His tresses are having the fragrance of all fresh flowers; He is most considerate to those who worship Him; sporting on the banks of the river YAMUNA; He is the spotless gem of the YADAVA clan; progenitor of the Cupid; the most lovable; adorned in yellow garments.
His lips outshine the beauty of the BIMBA fruit; adorn garlands; He is SRI PADMANABHA who is the slayer of demons like MADHU and KAITHABHA; He is spotless; His smile reminds the beauty of pearls.
