Krishnam Kalaya Sakhi

Pallavi: Friend, think of Krishna, the beautiful child.

1. Krishna, free of thirst for the objects of the senses, the mighty Lord of the world, conqueror of the hosts of asuras, ever a child.
2. Who dances here again and again, without end; boundlessly kind to those who serve him; the whole truth; ever a child.
3. The steadfast one; the further shore of the ocean of samsara; the substance of all the Vedas; the saviour of all yogis; ever a child.
4. Who plays in the waves of a Ganga of music and poetry full of shringara rasa; ever a child.
5. A child together with Balarama, delight of the world, who has every wish fulfilled.
6. Damodara, mine of all that is desired, dark as a rain cloud, terrible to asuras, ever a child.
7. Who drinks the nectar of Radha’s red lips; whose form is sat-chit-ananda; king of the three worlds; ever a child.
8. The true wealth, who loosens every misfortune; the highest goal of life for Shri Narayana Tirtha; ever a child.
