Translation

Verse 1

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, You are very fond of the city of Mathurā, the capitol of King Śūrasena, and because You decided to descend in that place to the earth, You caused the wedding celebration of Devakī and Vasudeva.

Verse 2

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, agitated by a voice from the sky, Kaṁsa, who was holding the reigns of the chariot tried to wickedly (kill Devakī). Devakī's life was saved by the careful reasoned words of Vasudeva.

Verse 3

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, fulfilling his promise, the truthful Vasudeva brought each of His sons before Kaṁsa. O Lord, because of Your desire, Kaṁsa was able to hear the words spoken by Nārada (from the sky). O Lord Kṛṣṇa,please protect me.

Verse 4

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, Kaṁsa then imprisoned Vasudeva and other relatives and bound them in chains. He killed the six sons of Devakī, thinking them to be his enemies.
