Gopi-gitam lyrics

tava kathāmṛtaṁ tapta-jīvanaṁ kavibhir īḍitaṁ kalmaṣāpaham śravaṇa-maṅgalaṁ śrīmad ātataṁ bhuvi gṛṇanti ye bhūri-dā janāḥ

tava kathamrtam tapta-jivanam kavibhir iditam kalmasapaham sravana-mangalam srimad atatam bhuvi grnanti ye bhuri-da janah

तव कथामृतं तप्तजीवनं कविभिर ईडितं कल्मषापहम श्रवणमङ्गलं श्रीमद आततं भुवि गृणन्ति ये भूरिदा जनाः

The nectar of Your words and the descriptions of Your activities are the life and soul of those suffering in this material world. These narrations, transmitted by learned sages, eradicate one's sinful reactions and bestow good fortune upon whoever hears them. These narrations are broadcast all over the world and are filled with spiritual power. Certainly those who spread the message of Godhead are most munificent. [9]

जयति ते ऽधिकं जन्मना व्रजः श्रयत इन्दिरा शश्वद अत्र हि दयित दृश्यतां दिक्षु तावकास त्वयि धृतासवस त्वां विचिन्वते

The gopis said: O beloved, Your birth in the land of Vraja has made it exceedingly glorious, and thus Indira, the goddess of fortune, always resides here. It is only for Your sake that we, Your devoted servants, maintain our lives. We have been searching everywhere for You, so please show Yourself to us. [1]

शरदुदाशये साधुजातसत सरसिजोदरश्रीमुषा दृशा सुरतनाथ ते ऽशुल्कदासिका वरद निघ्नतो नेह किं वधः

O Lord of love, in beauty Your glance excels the whorl of the finest, most perfectly formed lotus within the autumn pond. O bestower of benedictions, You are killing the maidservants who have given themselves to You freely, without any price. Isn't this murder [2]

O greatest of personalities, You have repeatedly saved us from all kinds of danger - from poisoned water, from the terrible man-eater Agha, from the great rains, from the wind demon, from the fiery thunderbolt of Indra, from the bull demon and from the son of Maya Danava. [3]

न खलु गोपीकानन्दनो भवान अखिलदेहिनाम अन्तरात्मदृक विखनसार्थितो विश्वगुप्तये सख उदेयिवान सात्वतां कुले

You are not actually the son of the gopi Yasoda, O friend, but rather the indwelling witness in the hearts of all embodied souls. Because Lord Brahma prayed for You to come and protect the universe, You have now appeared in the Satvata dynasty. [4]
