Verse 1

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, desiring their husband's welfare, the wives of the serpent offered obeisances to You, falling down like a stick. They pleased You with their prayers. O Lord, because Your character is very grave and profound, Your anger became appeased, You are only satisfied by the pious service of Your devotees.

Verse 2

Verse 3

Verse 4

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, when You gave the Kāliya serpent in charity to his wives, that serpent spoke to You, offering prayers. O Lord, all glories unto You. for You thus chastise those useless bewildered living entities, who have committed very horrible sins.

Verse 5

O Krsna, You marked the heads of Kaliya, the king of the snakes with Your own lotus footprints, and thus removed his fear of Garuda. You instructed the snake to return to his previous home.

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, You became greatly pleased and satisfied by the Kāliya serpent. When the serpent departed from the lake in the Yamunā, the lake again became pure.
