jaya kṛṣṇa kṛpākara bhaktasudhā-
kara bimbaphalādhara deva hare|
jaya kṛṣṇa nirañjana dānavagañ-
jana gokularañjana santapate||1
jaya kṛṣṇa sukhālaya dharmadayā-
varuṇālaya pālaya bhaktajanam|
jaya kṛṣṇa vimohana mohana
mohini dāraṇa dāraya mohaghanam||2
jaya kṛṣṇa guṇākara viśva-
vibhākara śānta vilakṣaṇa deva prabho|
jaya kṛṣṇa vikāraṇa kāraṇa
kāraṇakāraṇa kāraka viśvavibho||3
jaya kṛṣṇa nirāmaya cāru-
śubhānana sṛṣṭipravāraṇa vāraya mām|
jaya kṛṣṇa śubhāńgada nīti-
viśārada mohamahāgada tāraya mām||4
jaya kṛṣṇa bhavāmbuvimocana
pańkajalocana sańkaṭanāśana he|
jaya kṛṣṇa hare dharaṇī-
dhara sundara māmavalokaya kālapate||5
Be victorious, O Kṛṣṇa, Who is the abode of benevolence, Who is the abode of divine-nectar for the devotees, Who has red-gourd-like lips, Who is the Lord, and Who is Hari! Be victorious, O Kṛṣṇa, Who is without passion, Who destroys the demons, Who entices the Gokula, and Who is the Lord of the saints!||1||
Be victorious, O Kṛṣṇa, Who is the abode of happiness, Who is the ocean of righteousness and mercy! Save the devotees. Be victorious, O Kṛṣṇa, Who is without enchantment, Who enchants everyone, Who is Mohini, Who destroys everything! Destroy the heap of attachment.||2||
Be victorious, O Kṛṣṇa, Who is the abode of qualities, Who is the abode of the resplendent universe, Who is quiet, Who is unmatched, Who is the Lord, and Who is the Ruler! Be victorious, O Kṛṣṇa, Who is without a reason, Who is the reason, Who is the reason behind the reasons, Who is the doer, and Who is the resplendent-world!||3||
Be victorious, O Kṛṣṇa, Who is without attachment, Who has a beautiful enticing face, Who absolves the whole creation! Absolve me. Be victorious, O Kṛṣṇa, Who has a beautiful arm-bracelet, Who is an expert in the laws, Who is the great medicine for the disease-like attachment! Absolve me.||4||
Be victorious, O Kṛṣṇa, Who destroys the ocean of metempsychosis, Who has lotus-like eyes, and Who destroys the troubles! Be victorious, O Kṛṣṇa, Who is Hari, Who beholds the earth, Who is beautiful, Who is the Lord of time! Cast a glance on me.||5||
