- Verse 1
kali-kukkura kadana yadi cāo (he) kali-yuga pāvana, kali-bhaya-nāśana, śrī śacī-nandana gāo (he)
kali-kukkura kadana yadi cao (he) kali-yuga pavana, kali-bhaya-nasana, sri saci-nandana gao (he)
कलिकुक्कुर कदन यदि चाओ (हे) कलियुग पावन, कलिभयनाशन, श्री शचीनन्दन गाओ (हे)
If you want to be rid of the influence of the dog-like personality of kali, then just sing the glories of the beautiful Son of Mother Saci (Saci-nandana). He is the Savior of the kali-yuga (Kali-yuga Pavana), and He is (Kali-bhay-nasana), the destroyer of all fear caused by the age of quarrel.
