Translation

Verse 1

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, you understood the sufferings of Your own family the Yadu dynasty, who were greatly harassed by the military stregnth of Kaṁsa. O My Lord, by the agency of Your own Yogamāyā potency, You personally became Devakī's seventh child.

Verse 2

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, by the agency of YourYogamāyā, You became the Son of Devakī and Your incarnation as Lord Balarāma was transferred to the womb of Rohiṇī. O dear friend of Lord Balarāma, O Lord Kṛṣṇa, please protect me.

Verse 3

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, when You became the eighth child of Devakī, Your splendor made Your mother appear very glorious and the presence of Your transcendental potencies made Your father Vasudeva become jubilant. you caused great fear and despair for Kaṁsa.

Verse 4

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, O Absolute truth, O Lord of the universe, manifesting Your transcendental form, which is beyond the material nature, You received the prayers of Lord Brahma, Lord Śiva, and the other demigods. You also continually remained within the mind of Kaṁsa.

Verse 5

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, O be-all-and-end-all for devotees, O only desired object of the devotees, by the appearance of Your transcendental form, all the desires of everyone become fulfiilled. O Lord, you personally enter those who take shelter of Your Holy Name or Your spiritual form. O Lord, simply by taking birth here, You removed all the distresses of the earth.

Verse 6

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, You appeared on the earth exclusively to perform Your pastimes and remove the earth's burden. Your lotus feet are the ornament for the upper and middle planetary systems. The demigods thus encouraged Mother Devakī by offering prayers to You. O Lord Kṛṣṇa, all glories unto You.
