Sri Krsna



Sri Nama-kirtana

from Gitavali by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura


(1)
yasomati-nandana, braja-baro-nagara
gokula-ranjana kana
gopi-parana-dhana, madana-manohara
kaliya-damana-vidhana

Lord Krsna is the beloved son of mother Yasoda; the transcendental lover in the land of Vraja; the delight of Gokula; Kana [a nickname of Krsna]; the wealth of the lives of the gopis. He steals the mind of even Cupid and punishes the Kaliya serpent.


(2)
amala harinam amiya-vilasa
vipina-purandara
navina nagara-bora
bamsi-badana suvasa

These pure holy names of Lord Hari are full of sweet, nectarean pastimes. Krsna is the Lord of the twelve forests of Vraja, He is ever-youthful and is the best of lovers. He is always playing on a flute, and He is an excellent dresser.


(3)
braja-jana-palana, asura-kula-nasana
nanda-godhana-rakhowala
govinda madhava, navanita-taskara
sundara nanda-gopala

Krsna is the protector of the inhabitants of Vraja; the destroyer of various demoniac dynasties; the keeper and tender of Nanda Maharaja's cows; the giver of pleasure to the cows, land, and spiritual senses; the husband of the goddess of fortune; the butter thief; and the beautiful cowherd boy of Nanda Maharaja.


(4)
jamuna-tata-cara, gopi-basana-hara
rasa-rasika, krpamoya
sri-radha-vallabha, brndabana-natabara
bhakativinod-asraya

Krsna wanders along the banks of the River Yamuna. He stole the garments of the young damsels of Vraja who were bathing there. He delights in the mellows of the rasa dance; He is very merciful; the lover and beloved of Srimati Radharani; the great dancer of Vrndavana; and the shelter and only refuge of Thakura Bhaktivinoda.
