Translation

Verse 1

Today the son of Nanda killed a snake and rescued us from danger.

Verse 2

"This snake's lips are many rainclouds. Its teeth are a row of mountain peaks.

Verse 3

"Its breath is the acrid wind from a forest-fire. Its forked tongue is a highway."

Verse 4

We made these guesses about its limbs and we all laughed.

Verse 5

Although we could clearly see it was a snake, we said "It is a mountain", and entered within it.

Verse 6

We marched into the snake's belly, separated ourselves from Kṛṣṇa, and then fainted unconscious.

Verse 7

Out of great love our friend Kṛṣṇa found us and restored our consciousness by showering us with the nectar of His glance.

Verse 8

He brought us out of the snake and showed all of us what had happened.

Verse 9

In this way, Kṛṣṇa, who is more dear to us than our own lives, saved our lives and protected us.
