Chidanandhaa karam sruthi sarasa saram samaras am,

Sing about Govinda who is the store house of all pleasures,
Who is the form of divine joy , Who is the meaning of Vedas,

Who is the other shore to the sea of birth, who has divine qualities,
Who is the garland of Lakshmi , Who wanders in Vruja forest and one praised by Shiva.
