Translation

Verse 1

I offer my respectful obeisances to Lord Nārāyaṇa, who has no beginning, and who is the creator, maintainer, and destroyer of the material worlds.

Verse 2

With folded hands I offer my prayers unto Kṛṣṇa, the son of Nanda Maharaja, who is my life and soul.*Note: In Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, (Madhya 15.99-100), Lord Caitanya praises this verse and this book. He says:"Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu then said: Guṇarāja Khān of Kulīna-grāma compiled a book named Śrī Kṛṣṇa-vijaya in which there is a sentence revealing the author's ecstatic love of Kṛṣṇa. "Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu then said: `Kṛṣṇa, the son of Mahārāja Nanda, is my life and soul.' By this statement I am sold into the hands of the descendents of Guṇarāja Khān.' "

Verse 3

I offer my respectful obeisances to Brahmā and Śiva who help in the creation of the material world, and to Gaṇeśa, who removes obstacles.

Verse 4

I bow down to the feet of all the demigods. Now I will write something of Lord Kṛṣṇa's pastimes.
