TRANSLATION
1) Sometimes in great happiness Lord Jagannatha makes a loud concert with His flute in the
groves on the banks of the Yamuna. He is like a
bumblebee tasting the beautiful lotus like faces of the cowherd damsels of Vraja, and great personalities such as Laksmi,
Siva, Brahma, Indra, and Ganesa
worship His lotus feet. May that Jagannatha Svami be the object of my vision.
2) In His left hand Lord Jagannatha holds a flute, on His head He wears peacock
feathers, and on His hips He wears fine yellow silken cloth. From the corners
of His eyes He bestows sidelong glances upon His loving devotees, and He always
reveals Himself through His pastimes in His divine abode of Vrndavana.
May that Jagannatha Svami
be the object of my vision.
3) On the shore of the
great ocean, within a large palace atop the brilliant, golden Nilacala Hill, Lord Jagannatha
resides with His powerful brother Balabhadra and His
sister Subhadra, who sits between Them.
May that Jagannatha Svami,
who bestows the opportunity for devotional service upon all godly souls, be the
object of my vision.
4) Lord Jagannatha
is an ocean of mercy and as beautiful as a row of blackish rain clouds. He is
the storehouse of bliss for Laksmi and Sarasvati, and His face resembles a spotless full-blown
lotus. The best of demigods and sages worship Him, and the Upanisads
sing His glories. May that Jagannatha Svami be the object of my vision.
5) When Lord Jagannatha moves along the road on His Rathayatra
car, at every step large assemblies of brahmanas
loudly chant prayers and sing songs for His pleasure. Hearing their hymns, Lord
Jagannatha becomes very favorably disposed toward
them. He is the ocean of mercy and the true friend of all the worlds. May that Jagannatha Svami, along with His
consort Laksmi, who was born from the ocean of
nectar, be the object of my vision.
6) Lord Jagannatha,
whose eyes resemble full-blown lotus petals, is the ornament on Lord Brahma's
head. He resides on Nilacala Hill with His lotus feet
placed on the heads of Anantadeva. Overwhelmed by the mellows of love, He joyfully embraces Srimati Radharani's body, which
is like a cool pond. May that Jagannatha Svami be the object of my vision.
7) I do not pray for a
kingdom nor do I pray for gold, rubies, or wealth. I do not ask for a beautiful
wife as desired by all men. I simply pray that Jagannatha
Svami, whose glories Lord Siva always sings, may be
the constant object of my vision.
8) O Lord of the demigods,
please quickly remove this useless material existence
I am undergoing. O Lord of the Yadus, please destroy this vast, shoreless ocean
of sins. Alas, this is certain Lord Jagannatha
bestows His lotus feet upon those who feel themselves fallen and have no
shelter in this world but Him. May that Jagannatha Svami be the object of my vision.
9) The self-retrained, virtuous soul who recites these eight verses glorifying
Lord Jagannatha becomes cleansed of all sins and duly
proceeds to Lord Visnu's abode.
