Lord Krsna, who is Nanda's son, the gopis ' beloved, Radha's lover, a hero of amorous pastimes, and dark in complexion, now has become Saci's son. He is the ruler of Nadiya. He charms the hearts of the demigods and sages.

3

nadīyā-badhūjana-nayana-āmoda

Glory to the Lord, whose bodily complexion is now like that of His beloved! Glory, glory to the Lord, who enjoys pastimes of feeling the ecstatic spiritual love His beloved feels! Glory to the Lord who brought auspicious bliss to the vraja-gopis ' eyes and who now delights the eyes of the girls in Nadiya!

jaya jaya mohana gaura anupa

Glory, glory to the Lord whose form is dark like a new rain cloud and who is the ecstatic friend of Sridama, Sudama, Subala, and Arjuna! Glory to the Lord who was the dear and glorious companion of Balarama and a host of gopa boys! Glory, glory to the Lord who now manifests a fair form charming and peerless!

kāñcana-baraṇa haraṇa tanu su-lalita kauṣika basana birāje
prema nāma kahi kahata bhāgabate aiche baraṇa tanu sāje

Glory to the Lord whose graceful form is now more splendid than gold, who is gloriously arrayed in silken garments. Describing the glories of the holy name, He speaks from Srimad-Bhagavatam. His form is now fair.

nija nija bhakata pāriṣada saṅgati prakaṭahi caraṇārabinda
nirabadhi badanenāma birājita rādhe kṛṣṇa gobinda

He is accompanied by His devotees. Now His lotus feet are visible in this world. Without stop the holy names " Radhe! Krsna! Govinda!" are gloriously manifest in His mouth.

yugala-bhajana-guṇa - līlā-āswādana grantha kalpa-taru
hāte tuyā bine adhameśaraṇa ko deyaba gobinda-dāsa anāthe

He relishes the nectar of the divine couple's qualities, pastimes, and devotional service. The kalpa-taru tree of scriptures He holds in His hand. O Supreme Lord, but for You who will give shelter to fallen helpless Govinda dasa?
