Translation

Verse 1

O Krsna, taking breakfast early in the morning, You wandered in Vrndavana, placing the calves in front. It was there that You saw the demon Bakasura, whose gigantic body appeared just like a mountain peak.

Verse 2

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, when You were swallowed by Bakāsura with His sharp beak, Your cowherd friends fainted. Staying within the demon's mouth, You playfully burned his palate.

Verse 3

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, expelled form the Baka demons's mouth, You bifurcated his beak (and killed him). Balarāma and the other cowherd boys embraced You, and the demigods praised You and showered flowers upon You. All glories to You.
