Sri Krishna Vandana
By Srila Rupa Goswami Prabhu
he deva bhavantam vande
man-manasa-madhukaram arpaya nija-pada-pankaja-makarande
O Lord, I offer my obeisance unto You. Please place the bee of my heart in
the honey of Your lotus feet.
yadapi samadhisu vidhir api pasyati na tava nakha gramarichim
idam ichami nisamya tavachyuta tadapikrpadbhutavichim [1]
O Achyuta! Although even Brahma, in samadhi, cannot see the lustre of the
tips of Your toenails, I have heard of the waves of Your wonderful mercy and
I desire to see it.
bhaktir udanchati yad api madhava na tvayi mama tila-matri
paramesvarata tad api tavadhika- durghata-ghatana-vidhatri [2]
O Madhava! Although I do not have even a sesame seed of devotion to You, Your
supreme power is the creator of even more improbable miracles.
ayam avilolatayadya sanatana kalitadbhuta-rasa-bharam
nivasatu nityam ihamrta-nindini vindanmadhurima-saram [3]
O eternal Lord, may the bee of my heart steadily reside eternally at Your
lotus feet, where there is an abundance of the most wonderful honey—which
surpasses the nectar of immortality—and thus attain the ultimate sweetness.
