When he’s pliant, your rigid. He’s passionate, your hateful. When he looks expectant, you turn away. You leave when He is loving. your stubbornness justly turns sandalbalm to poison, cool moon rays to heat, ice to fire, joys of krida to torments of hell. antar-mohana-mauli-ghür nana-milan, mandära-vibhramshana stambhä-karshana-dristi-karshana, mahä-mantra: kuraigi-drushäm | dripyad-dänava, düyamäna-divishad, durvära-dukha-padäm bhramsha: kamsa-ripo:, samarpayatu vaha, shreyämsi vamshi-rava: ||10|| The sound of Krishna’s flute bewilders the hearts of the gopis. It makes their jewelled tiaras whirl and their elegant floral decorations fall. It drives away the irrepressible suffering of the celestials. It makes doe-eyed women become stunned. It attracts them and increases the jubilation of their eyes. May that flute sound destroy all impediments on the path of auspiciousness for everyone. sändränanda-puraà-darädi-diviñad-våndair amandädaräd änamrair mukuöendra-néla-maëibhiù sandarshitendivaram | svacchandaà makaranda-sundara-galan-mandäkiné-meduraà shré-govinda-padäravindam ashubha-skandäya vandämahe ||11|| When Krishna deflated the pride of King Bali, the celestials were immersed in bliss. As they bowed to him with the utmost reverence, the reflected lustre of the sapphires on their crowns made His feet seem to be blue lotus flowers. The charming Ganges flows effortlessly and spontaneously like honey from the lotus of those feet. We prostrate to that Sri Govinda’s lotus feet, the vanquishers of all inauspiciousness.
