Venomous viper Kaliya’s benighter,*
Sun to the Yadava lotus,*
Your family, O human-delighter—
Hurrah hooray Hari, Hari!

1.20

Madhu, Mura, and Naraka’s slayer,*
Regal eagle rider,*
The pantheon’s prime player—
Hurrah hooray Hari, Hari!

A lucent lotus-petal your eye,
Foundation of all three worlds,
O liberator on the day we die—
Hurrah hooray Hari, Hari!

Sita’s ornament and ornamenter,
O Ravana’s ravager
And his trooper’s tormentor—*
Hurrah hooray Hari, Hari!

The nectar churning mountain supported by your grace,
Lovely as a new nimbus,
O nightingale tippling moonshine from
the Goddess’s face—
Hurrah hooray Hari, Hari!
