Sing the glory of Lord Krishna, the beautiful son of Nanda, and who is hailed as Mukunda, the remover of sorrows. With His enchanting form, adorned with flowers and holding the flute, He captivated the hearts of Gopis and devotees alike. He playfully stole butter and the minds of the Gopis, embodying divine love and joy. He lifted the Govardhana mountain with His little finger to protect the people of Vraja. Victory be to Lord Narayana, Keshava, and Hari Om. Let us sing, dance, and celebrate the beloved dark-skinned Krishna, and offer our devotion in joy and love.
