TRANSLATION
1)
O Tulasi Maharani! O Vrnda!
O mother of devotion! O Narayani, I offer my obeisances to you again and again.
2)
By seeing you or even by touching you, all sins are destroyed. Your glories are
described in the Vedas and Puranas.
3)
Your leaves and soft manjaris are entwined at the
lotus feet of Narayana, the Lord of Laksmi. O blessed mother Tulasi,
you performed successful austerities and have thus become the chief consort and
queen of Sri salagrama-sila.
4)
You gladden and shower your rain of mercy upon one who offers you some incense,
a ghee lamp, naivedya, and arati.
The Lord does not care for even one of fifty-six varieties of cooked food or
thirty-six different curries offered without tulasi
leaves.
5)
Lord Siva, Sukadeva Gosvami,
Devarsi Narada, and all the
jnanis and great munis,
headed by Lord Brahma, are circumambulating you. O mother! O Maharani, Candrasekhara thus sings your glories. Please bestow upon
him the gift of pure devotion.
