“Unto you who are the king of the bees
Maddened by drinking the nectar of the names [of Hari],
Such as, ‘O Śrī Rāma, O Govinda, O Mukunda,
O Śauri, O Śrī Kṛṣṇa, O Nārāyaṇa, O Vāsudeva!’,
Unto you who are a destroyer of all suffering,
Unto you who are always inquired from by Śrī Nārada and others
About that which is most confidential,
Unto you who quickly bestow boons,
Unto you who bestow the joy of bhakti to Hari,
Unto Śiva,
Unto you who are the guru of all—
Obeisance and obeisance.
Unto you who are the auspiciousness
Of a festival for the eyes to Śrī Gaurī,
Unto you who are the lord of her life-breath,
Unto you who bestow rasa,
Unto you who are adept in singing of the līlās of Govinda
Continually with intense longing,
Let obeisance be offered.”
