all His attributes in it. When you chant, your heart transforms - Paramahamsa Vishwananda - All glories to You Srī Krishna with the beautiful bent posture Who is the supreme enjoyer (Bānke Bihāri)! All glories to Srī Krishna Who enjoys wandering in the groves of Vrindāvan! 1) All glories to the flute of the king of Vraj Who entices the hearts of the people of Vraj! All glories to Lalita Devī and Vishakha, the foremost friends of Srī Rādhā! All glories to the beautiful and lovely Srī Rādhā! All glories to Srī Krishna, the great player, the supreme enjoyer, the ocean of peace and enjoyer of the Divine plays! All glories to Srī Krishna, the jewel of the Vraj and the world; and the slayer of the demon Mura! 2) All glories to Srī Krishna, the protector of those who take His refuge! All glories to Srī Krishna, the remover of the great fears; the fulfiller of the desires of the gopis; the stealer of the gopis clothes at the banks of the Yamunā; the destroyer of pride of Mangava! All glories to Giridhārīji, the remover of the sorrows of the devotees! All glories to Srī Krishna, the jewel of the Vraj and the world; and the slayer of the demon Mura! Srī Krishna, the Lord of the universe; the protector of the cows and cowherds; the beautiful supreme enjoyer and the son of Nanda Maharaj is mine. ‘The Name of Krishna holds into His divine light and love which shines to all through you.’
