Krishna
Krishna
Eternal Lord
Incarnate Divinity
Thou personification of the Self
The Light of Wisdom dispelling the darkness of ignorance
Even as a flash of lightening breaks through a mass of clouds
Lord, Thou incarnated in Vrindavan
In the Eighth day of the dark half of Sravan
Born in a prison
To free the world from the bondage of sangsara
So symbolic was thy arrival
Reedemer, saviour, friend and protector
Thou were many things to many people
To the cowherds, their friend
To Yasoda , her son
To the gopis, their beloved
Displaying the upayakusalata of the Bodhisattva
Thou fits the role to the occasion
The solace of grieving multitudes
The redeemer of the needy
Nirbal ke bal ram
The strength of the weak
Prince, Lord, cowherd
Incorporating all
Succor me in my need
The lost sheep of sangsara
