TRANSLATION
1) Who will not take
shelter of Govardhana Hill, the best of mountains,
the friend of Gokula, the
charming bumblebee that for seven days stood on the graceful whorl of the lotus
flower of Lord Krsna's hand and protected Vraja from the mouth of the Indra-crocodile
raining a great monsoon?
2) What pious person will
not take shelter of Govardhana Hill, whose peak is
the place of pastimes for Lord Krsna, the master of the surabhi
cows, and near which is blissful Govinda-kunda, where
a surabhi cow, followed by humbled Indra bearing the waters of the celestial Ganges, bathed
Lord Krsna and secretly crowned Him king of the surabhi
cows?
3) What pious person will
not take shelter of Govardhana Hill, which is
glorified by the great sages, and which is encircled by the lakes Siri-kunda, Brahma-kunda, Hara-kunda, Apsarah-kunda, Priyaka-kunda, and Sri-dana-kunda,
which are splendid with the happiness of pure love and more
dear to Lord Hari than the celestial
4) Who will not take
shelter of Govardhana Hill, which is charming with
cows, deer, birds, and trees, and which is the place where the lakes Jyotsnamoksana-kunda, Malya-kunda,
Hara-kunda, Sumanah-kunda, Gauri-kunda, Balaridhvaja-kunda, Gandharva-kunda, many other lakes, many swiftly-moving
mountain streams, many lion-thrones for amorous pastimes, many places for Lord Hari's other pastimes, and the cowherd boy Lord Hari Himself, are all splendidly manifest?
5) Who will not take
shelter of Govardhana Hill? He who with always
devotedly caries on his bowed head the lake known as Syama-kunda,
which is millions of times greater than the Ganges, and which was born from the
foot of Lord Krsna, becomes more dear to the Lord than even the demigod Siva.
He who in the same way carries the jewel known as Radha'-kunda
attains the full mercy of Lord Krsna. He becomes the most dear and glorious of
devotees.
6) Who will not take shelter
of Govardhana Hill, where the divine couple enjoy
Their rescue-fee pastimes, and where the Manasa-ganga
flows? In the Manasa-ganga the pilot Madhava took sweetly beautiful Radha'
on His boat, and when She, frightened by a great storm, prayed that He calm it,
He claimed from Her as a rescue-fee the fulfillment of His amorous desires.
7) Ah, what pious person
will not take shelter of lofty Govardhana Hill, the
beautiful and transcendental place of the rasa dance,
where Sri Radha, accompanied by Her beautiful friends
worshiped by hundreds of goddesses of fortune, and the splendid, nectar arm of
Lord Krsna playfully resting on Her neck, dances in the springtime rasa-lila?
8) Who will not take
shelter of Govardhana Hill where, blossoming with
happiness at the outrageous joking words of Their friends, perpetually wounded
by the swift arrows shot from the corners of Their cruel, smiling eyes, and
laughing at the crooked words of the ever-new dana-keli
quarrel, the youthful divine couple displayed so many transcendental pastimes?
9) Who will not take
shelter of graceful and auspicious Govardhana Hill,
where, accompanied by Sridama and His other friends,
playing with Sankarsana, and carefully herding the
cows, Lord Krsna happily sings ri ri,
and where Lord Krsna enjoys amorous pastimes with Radha'
in the rasa dance arena and deep in the hidden caves?
10) Who will not take
shelter of Govardhana Hill, the crowned king of all
mountains? For the people of Vraja's sake Lord Mukunda neglected the sun-god's daughter Yamuna, a host of other lofty hills, the wish-fulfilling
11) By the mercy of Govardhana Hill these ten beautiful verses about Govardhana Hill, which grant residence at Govardhana Hill, have come from the mouth of a blind old
man. The pleasure of Govardhana Hill, which is my
life and soul, and which is a beautiful jewel-mine of transcendental virtues,
is the ripe fruit I seek from my labor in writing these verses.
