Sva Janmany Aisvaryam Balam
Svayam Bhagavattvastakam
sva-janmany aiśvaryaṁ balam iha
vadhe daitya-vitater yaśaḥ
pārtha-trāṇe yadu-puri mahā-sampadam adhāt paraṁ jñānaṁ
jiṣṇau muṣalam anu vairāgyam anu yo bhagaiḥ ṣaḍbhiḥ
pūrṇaḥ sa bhavatu mude nanda-tanayaḥ
May Nanda's son, who is full of six opulences, who from His very birth was supremely (1) opulent, who displayed supreme (2) strength by killing a multitude of demons, who became supremely (3) famous by protecting Arjuna, who manifested supreme (4) wealth at Dvaraka, the capitol of the Yadus, who spoke supreme transcendental (5) knowledge to Arjuna, and who exhibited supreme (6) renunciation in the Yadus' fratricidal war, be pleased with me.

parānanta-tanutāṁ mahaiśvaryaḥ
pūrṇaḥ sa bhavatu mude nanda-tanayaḥ
May Nanda's son, who is full of great opulences, who at the time of His birth had a four-armed form, who once at clay, who revealed millions of universes within His mouth, who broke a yoghurt pot, and who displayed numberless transcendental forms to Brahma, be pleased with me.
balaṁ bakyāṁ
danta-cchadana-varayoḥ keśini nṛge niṛpe bāhvor aṅghreḥ
phaṇini vapuṣaḥ kaṁsa-marutoḥ giritre daityeṣv apy atanuta
nijāstrasya yad ato mahaujobhiḥ pūrṇaḥ sa
bhavatu mude nanda-tanayaḥ
He employed the strength of His two lips on Putana, the strength of His arms on Kesi and Nrga, the strength of His feet on Kaliya, the strength of His body on Kamsa and Trnavarta, and the strength of His weapons on Banasura and other demons. May Nanda's son, who possesses all strength, be pleased with me.
asaṅkhyāto gopyo vraja-bhuvi
mahiṣyo yadu-pure sutāḥ
pradyumnādyāḥ sura-taru-sudharmādi ca dhanam bahir dvāri brahmādyāpi
balivahaṁ stauti yad ataḥ śriyāṁ pūraiḥ
pūrṇaḥ sa bhavatu mude nanda-tanayaḥ
He possesses all fame because He gives liberation to His enemies, because although He took birth in human society, He defeated Siva and the other demigods, because He is submissive to the humble devotees who offer obeisances to Him, because He gave a benediction to Draupadi in the assembly, and because He was lavishly worshipped in the Rajasuya sacrifice. May Nanda's son be pleased with me.
yato datte muktiṁ ripu-vitataye yan
nara-janir vijetā rudrāder api
nata-janādhīna iti yat sabhāyāṁ draupadyā
varakṛd atipūjyo nṛpa-makhe yaśobhis tat pūrṇaḥ
sa bhavatu mude nanda-tanayaḥ
He has numberless gopis in Vraja, numberless queens and sons in Dvaraka, parijata trees, the sudharma assembly house, and other opulences. Outside His door Brahma and the demigods offer prayers and bring gifts. May Nanda's son, who possesses all wealth, be pleased with me.
nyadhād gītā-ratnaṁ
trijagad atulaṁ yat priya-sakhe paraṁ tattvaṁ
premṇoddhava-parama-bhakte ca nigamam nija-prāṇa-presṭhāsv
api rasa-bhṛtaṁ gopa-kulajāsv ato jñānaiḥ
pūrṇaḥ sa bhavatu mude nanda-tanayaḥ
He gave to a dear friend the jewel Bhagavad-gita, which has no equal in the world. With love He gave to Uddhava the ultimate truth of the Vedas. He gave to the saintly gopis, who thought Him dearer than life, the knowledge of the sweetest nectar. May Nanda's son, who possesses all knowledge, be pleased with me.
kṛtāgaskaṁ
vyādhaṁ satanum api vaikuṇṭham anayan mamatvasyaikāgrān api
parijanān hanta vijahau yadyapy ete śrutyā
dhuvatanutayoktās tad api hā sva-vairāgyaiḥ
pūrṇaḥ sa bhavatu mude nanda-tanayaḥ
He brought an offensive hunter to Vaikuntha in his own body. He abandoned His own proud relatives, even though the sruti declares that they were already liberated and had eternal spiritual bodies. May Nanda's son, who possesses all renunciation, be pleased with me.
ajatvaṁ janmitvaṁ ratir
aratitehārahitatā salīlatvaṁ vyāptiḥ
parimitir ahaṁtā-mamatayoḥ pade tyāgātyāgāv
ubhayam api nityaṁ sad urarī- karotīśaḥ
pūrṇaḥ sa bhavatu mude nanda-tanayaḥ
Although He is unborn, He takes birth. Although He is affectionate, He is aloof from everything. Although He enjoys pastimes, he is inactive. He is both all-pervading and limited. He possesses and does not possess ego and possessiveness. May Nanda's son, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is full of all opulences, be pleased with me.
samudyat-sandeha-jvara-śata-haraṁ
bheṣaja-varaṁ jano yaḥ seveta
prathita-bhagavattvāṣṭakam idam tad-aiśvarya-svādaiḥ
sva-dhiyam ativelaṁ sarasayan labhetāsau tasya priya-parijanānugya-padavīm
He who serves this Bhagavatastaka, which is an excellent medicine to remove the hundred fevers of doubt, and becomes overwhelmed with happiness by tasting in his mind the sweetness of the Lord's opulences, enters the path that leads to the Lord's personal association.
