TRANSLATION
1)
Let me therefore offer my respectful obeisances unto the Lord, who has become the son of Vasudeva, the pleasure of Devakī,
the boy of Nanda and the other cowherd men of Vṛndāvana, and the enlivener of the cows and the
senses. (Verse 21)
2)
My respectful obeisances are unto You, O Lord, whose
abdomen is marked with a depression like a lotus flower, who are always
decorated with garlands of lotus flowers, whose glance is as cool as the lotus
and whose feet are engraved with lotuses. (Verse 22)
3) I wish that all those calamities would happen again
and again so that we could see You again and again,
for seeing You means that we will no longer see repeated births and deaths.
(Verse 25)
4)
My Lord, Your Lordship can easily be approached, but only by those who are
materially exhausted. One who is on the path of
[material] progress, trying to improve himself with respectable parentage, great
opulence, high education and bodily beauty, cannot approach You with sincere
feeling. (Verse 26)
5)
And yet others say that You appeared to rejuvenate the
devotional service of hearing, remembering, worshiping and so on in order that
the conditioned souls suffering from material pangs might take advantage and
gain liberation. (Verse 35)
6)
O Lord of Madhu, as the Ganges forever flows to the
sea without hindrance, let my attraction be constantly drawn unto You without being diverted to anyone else. (Verse 42)
