    r Dmodarakam

    By Ka Dvaipyana Vysa
    nammvara sac-cid-nanda-rpa
    lasat-kualam gokule bhrjamnam
    yaod-bhiyolkald-dhvamna
    param atyantato drutya gopy
    To the Supreme Lord, whose form
    embodies eternity, knowledge, and bliss,
    whose earrings swing to and fro, who
    shines beautifully in Gokula, who quickly
    ran from the grinding mortar in fear of
    mother Yaod, and who was caught from
    behind by her, who ran faster than Heto
    that Supreme Lord, r Dmodara, I offer
    my humble obeisances.
    rudanta muhur netra-yugma mjantam
    karmbhoja-yugmena staka-netram
    muhu vsa-kampa-tri-rekhka-kaha-
    sthita-graiva dmodara bhakti-baddham
    [Upon seeing His mothers stick,] He cried
    and rubbed His eyes again and again with
    His two lotus hands. His eyes were fearful,
    and His quick breathing shook the strand
    of pearls on His neck, which bore three
    lines like a conchshells. To that Supreme
    Lord, r Dmodara, whose belly is bound
    with the ropes of His mothers pure love, I
    offer my humble obeisances.
    itdk sva-llbhir nanda-kue
    sva-ghoa nimajjantam khypayantam
    tadyeita-jeu bhaktair jitatva
    puna prematas ta atvtti vande
    With these superexcellent childhood
    pastimes Lord Ka drowned the
    residents of Gokula in pools of ecstasy. In
    this way He declared to those absorbed in
    knowledge of His majesty and opulence:
    I am conquered only by My pure loving
    devotees. With great love I again offer my
    obeisances to Lord Dmodara hundreds
    and hundreds of times.
    vara deva moka na mokvadhi v
    na canya ve 'ha vared apha
    ida te vapur ntha gopla-bla
    sad me manasy virst kim anyai
    O Lord, though You can award all kinds of
    benedictions, I pray to You neither for the
    boon of impersonal liberation, nor for the
    highest liberation of eternal life in
    Vaikuha, nor for any other such boon. O
    Lord, I simply wish that this form of Yours
    as Bla Gopla in Vndvana may ever be
    manifest in my heart, for what use do I
    have for any other boon besides this?
    ida te mukhmbhojam atyanta-nlair
    vta kuntalai snigdha-raktai ca gopy
    muhu cumbita bimba-raktdhara me
    manasy virstm ala laka-lbhai
    O Lord, again and again mother Yaod
    kisses Your lotus face, which is framed by
    locks of soft black hair tinged with red and
    beautified by Your lips colored red like the
    bimba fruit. May this vision of Your lotus
    face be ever manifest in my heart.
    Thousands and thousands of other
    benedictions are of no use to me.
    namo deva dmodarnanta vio
    prasda prabho dukha-jlbdhi-magnam
    kp-di-vyti-dna batnu
    ghea mm ajam edhy aki-dya
    O Supreme Godhead, I offer my respectful
    obeisances unto You. O Dmodara! O
    Ananta! O Viu! O master! O Lord, be
    pleased upon me. Shower me with Your
    merciful glances and deliver this poor
    ignorant fool immersed in an ocean of
    worldly sorrows, and become visible to my
    eyes.
    kuvertmajau baddha-mrtyaiva yadvat
    tvay mocitau bhakti-bhjau ktau ca
    tath prema-bhakti svak me prayaccha
    na moke graho me 'sti dmodareha
    O Lord Dmodara, as a baby tied to a
    grinding mortar, You delivered Kuveras
    two sons from the curse of Nrada and
    made them into great devotees. In the
    same way, please give me pure loving
    devotion for You. I long for this alone and
    have no desire for any kind of liberation.
    namas te 'stu dmne sphurad-dpti-dhmne
    tvadyodarytha vivasya dhmne
    namo rdhikyai tvadya-priyyai
    namo 'nanta-llya devya tubhyam
    O Lord Dmodara, obeisances unto the
    brilliantly effulgent rope binding Your
    belly! Obeisances unto Your belly, the
    abode of the entire universe! Obeisances
    unto Your dearmost beloved, rmat
    Rdhr! And obeisances unto You, O
    Lord, who display unlimited pastimes!
