Gita Gyan: Govind Damodar Madhabeti

*Kararvinde na padarvindam

mukhar vinde vinve shayantam

vatasya patrasya pute shayanam

balam mukundam mansa smarami

His lotus-mouth. I remember the infant Mukunda, Who sleeps inside a hollow Banyan leaf and Who by His lotus-hands, is putting His lotus-feet in

*shree krishna Govind hare murari

hey nath Narayana Vasudeva

jihve pibasva murutame tadev

Govind Damodar madhaveti

"Shri Krishna! Govinda! Hari! Murari! O Lord, Narayana, Vasudeva!" O tongue, please drink only this nectar--"Govinda, Damodara, Madhava!"

*Vikretu kamakil gop kanya

murari padarpit chitta vritthi

dadhyaadikam moh vashad vochad

Govind damodar madhaveti

Though desiring to sell milk, dahi, butter, etc., the mind of a young gopi was so absorbed in the lotus feet of Krishna that instead of calling out "Milk for sale," she bewilderedly said, "Govinda!", Damodara!", and "Madhava!"

*Gruhe gruhe Gop vadhu kadamba

sarve militwa sam vapya yogam

punyani namani pathanti nityam

Govind Damodar Madhaveti

In house after house, groups of cowherd ladies gather on various occasions, and together they always chant the transcendental names of Krishna--"Govinda, Damodara, and Madhava."

*Sukham Shayanam nilaye nijepi

namani vishnuh pravadanti martyaha

te nicshitam tanmayatam vrajanti

Govind Damodar madhaveti

Even the ordinary mortals comfortably seated at home who chant the names of Vishnu, "Govinda, Damodara," and "Madhava," certainly attain (at least) the liberation of having a form similar to that of the Lord.

*Jihave sadaivan bhajsundarani

namani Krishnasya manoharani

samasta bhaktarti veenashani

Govind Damodar madhaveti

O my tongue, just always worship these beautiful, enchanting names of Krishna, "Govinda, Damodara," and "Madhava," which destroy all the obstacles of the devotees.

*sukhavasami idmev saram

sukhavasane idmev gneyam

deha vasane idmev japyam

Govind Damodar Madhhaveti

This indeed is the essence (found) upon ceasing the affairs of mundane happiness. And this too is to be sung after the cessation of all sufferings. This alone is to be chanted at the time of death of one's material body--"Govinda, Damodara, Madhava!"

*Shree Krishna Radhavar var gokulam

Gopal Govardhan nath vishnuh

Jihve Pibasva mrutame tadev

Govind damodar madhaveti

O tongue, drink only this nectar (of the names), "Shri Krishna, dearmost of Shrimati Radharani, Lord of Gokula, Gopala, Lord of Govardhana, Vishnu, Govinda, Damodara," and "Madhava."

*Tvameva yache mam dehi jihave

samagte dand dhare krutante

vaktvya mevam madhuram subhakta

Govind damodar madhaveti

O my tongue, you are fond of sweet things and are of discriminating taste; I tell you the highest truth, which is also the most beneficial. Please just recite these sweet syllables: "Govinda," "Damodara," and "Madhava."

*Jihve rasagne madhur priya twam

satyam hitam tvam parmam vadami

aavarana yetha madhuraksharani

Govind Damodar Madhaveti

O my tongue, I ask only this of you, that at my meeting the bearer of the sceptre of chastisement (Yamaraja), you will utter this sweet phrase with great devotion: "Govinda, Damodara, Madhava!"
