1.15
Listen to Jaya·deva’s glorious song, and you will be favored
With prosperity and joy in this life to be savored—
Keshava-Krishna in your ten incarnations!
Hosanna to the Lord of the World, Hari-Krishna!
Preserving the Veda, supporting the world,
lifting the globe,
eviscerating the demon Hiranya·kashipu,
bilking Bali, exterminating the warriors,
Conquering Ravana, wielding a plow, showing compassion,
and slaughtering the barbarians:
Homage to you, Krishna, in all your incarnations!
PRESSED AGAINST the Goddess’s breasts in rest,
Fair flower-festooned,
O God in earrings dressed—
Hurrah hooray Hari, Hari!
Refrain
Earth-shattering, sun-spangled, so, so great,
Spirit-Gander* on whom
The sages meditate—
Hurrah hooray Hari, Hari!
