Tunga Nipa Samarudham Sarpa

Obeisance 46 Verses 187 to 189

1

tuṅga-nīpa-samārūḍhaṁ sarpa-hrada-vihāriṇam
kāliya-krodha-janakaṁ kruddhāhi-kula-veṣṭitaṁ

O Krsna, You climbed a tall kadamba tree, and jumped into the lake where the serpent stayed. You sported in that lake, angering Kaliya, and You were soon surrounded by many angry snakes.

2

moha-magna-suhṛd-vargaṁ sāśru-gokula-vīkṣitam
mahotpāta-samudvigna-vrajānviṣṭa-gatiṁ bhaje

O Krsna, Your friends in Gokula became drowned in bewilderment, and they were clearly observed to be crying tears, distressed by the catastrophe which had befallen You, You, the desired goal of the residents of Vraja.

3

pada-cihnāpta-mārgf tvāṁ mṛta-prāya-sva-bāndhavam
rāma-rakṣita-nandādi-mumūrṣu-vraja-śocitaṁ

O Krsna, by following the footprints on the path, the people of Vraja came to the Kaliya lake, and when they saw that You were in the serpent's grasp, they became almost dead with lamentation. Nanda Maharaja and the others desired to commit suicide, although Lord Balarama checked them.
