TRANSLATION
1) O Lord Krsna, all glories unto You. You
asked Your father why he was performing a sacrifice,
although You knew full well the sacrifice was to be offered to Lord Indra. When You heard Your father's
description of the sacrifice's purpose, You replied by speaking the karma-mimamsa philosophy (Which states that if one works nicely,
he will get the good result of his work, and there is no need of God.
2) O Lord Krsna, by presenting many different false and illogical
arguments, You prohibited the performs of the
sacrifice to Indra, and urged (the cowherd men) to
perform a sacrifice for the cows and Govardhana Hill.
O Lord, I offer respectful obeisances unto You.
3) O Lord krsna, You described how the sacrifice
for Govardhana Hill and the cows should be performed,
and when the sacrifice was performed, You assumed a separately constituted
gigantic form, claiming to be Govardhana Hill and
eating the foodstuffs offered in the sacrifice.
4) O Lord Krsna, O crest-jewel on the summit of Govardhana
Hill, O glorifier of Govardhana Hill, after the
cowherd men had offered ornaments and foodstuffs, You caused them to
circumambulate the Hill.
