Although You rest on the breasts of Laksmi Devi, You hold a simple rope in
Your hand and wear graceful garlands of forest flowers. Glory, glory to You,
O Lord Hari!
dinamani-mandala mandana bhava-khandana
muni-jana-manasa-hamsa!
jaya jaya deva hare [2]
Adorned with the radiance of many suns, you destroy material existence. You
are the swan residing in the minds of great sages. Glory, glory to You, O
Lord Hari!
kaliya-visa-dhara-ganjana jana-ranjana
yadu-kula-nalina-dinesa!

You defeated the poisonous serpent Kaliya, delighting Your devotees. You are
the lotus blooming in the sun of the Yadu dynasty. Glory, glory to You, O
Lord Hari!
madhu-muru-naraka-vinasana garudasana
sura-kula-keli-nidana!
jaya jaya deva hare [4]
You are the killer of the demons Madhu, Muru and Narak. You take Your holy
seat on the back of Garuda. You put an end to the play of all demons. Glory,
glory to You, O Lord Hari!
amala-kamala-dala-lochana-bhava-mochana

Adorned with the glory of King Janaka’s Daughter, You destroy all blemishes
and kill the ten-headed Ravan! Glory, glory to You, O Lord Hari!
abhinava-jala-dhara-sundara dhrta-mandara
sri-mukha-chandra-chakora,
jaya jaya deva hare [7]
You are as beautiful as a fresh rain cloud; You hold Mount Mandara and Your
holy moon-face is like the chakora bird that subsists on moonbeams.
Glory, glory to You, O Lord Hari!
tava charane pranata vayam iti bhavaya
kuru kusalam pranatesu
jaya jaya deva hare [8]
We offer obeisances at Your holy feet. Please be merciful to those who humbly
submit themselves to You. Glory, glory to You, O Lord Hari!

mangalam ujjvala-giti,
jaya jaya deva hare [9]
May this auspicious song composed by the poet Sri Jayadev increase everyone’s
joy. Glory, glory to You, O Lord Hari!
