Oh My Lord Krishna, you are the giver of the Boons and the fulfiller of wishes of your devotees. I have no complaints about you, my dear Govinda! Oh my dear Govinda! Though we cannot see you in our naked eyes, yet I didn’t find any discomfort in leading my life, since I always keep reciting your beautiful names.
Oh my Lord Venkateswara, by having your darshan, your devotees attain the purpose of their birth, and they cherish your holy lotus feet, and their mouth always utters the word, “GOVINDA”, “GOVINDA”.
My Lord, though you show your divine vision only to your true devotees, I don’t worry about it, since I feel that you are always present in my soul.
Oh My Lord, though you have been called by various names like Govinda, Achutha, Malaiyappa, Manivanna, Madhava and Mukunda, but my mouth would continuously utter your marvellous name “KRISHNA”.
Oh My Lord, you are the father and mother to everyone, and those who sanctifies you by the way of worshipping you sincerely, would never find any difficulty in leading their life.
