Translation

Verse 1

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, as the spring gradually changed to summer, You played with Your cowherd friends. Your hair was clustered like crow feathers, and You played hide-and-seek and played at being a king.

Verse 2

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, (accompanied by Your friends) You imitated the movements of the deer and other animals, played on a swing, and in a boat. In this way You played many extraordinary games in many different places.

Verse 3

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, performing pastimes, You appear as the ornament of Bhāṇḍīra forest. Understanding that Pralambāsura had arrived, disguised as a cowherd boy, You proposed that the cowherd boys play a game in pairs.

Verse 4

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, in the pastimes where one cowherd boy carried another, You carried Śrīdāma. O Lord, You are very affectionate to Lord Balarāma, who caused the terrible demon Pralamba to fall. O Lord, all glories unto You.
