buddhīnāṁ parimohanaḥ kila hriyām uccāṭanaḥ stambhano
dharmodagra-bhiyāṁ manaḥ-karaṭināṁ vaśyatva-niṣpādanaḥ |
kālindī-kalahaṁsa hanta vapuṣām ākarṣaṇaḥ subhruvāṁ

(Stava-mālā: Govinda-virudāvalī: 12)
“O Swan [i.e., O Frolicker] on the Kālindī!
Beguiling the thoughts,
Causing the abandonment of the shyness,
Paralyzing the mighty fear on account of dharma,
Accomplishing the subjugation of the elephant-like minds,
And drawing near the bodies
Of they of fine brows [i.e., the gopīs],
May the emperor of mantras
Constituted of the fifth note of your flute
Triumph!”
