Translated  by

P.R.Ramachander

(To send Akroora  to Hasthinapure and to keep up his word to him,Lord Krishna along  with Balarama  and udhava  visited his home,After  showing them great  hospitrality, Akroora  prayed Lord Krishna   thus. (skandam 10 chapter  48  sloka 17-27)

1.Dhishtyaa  paapo hatha kamsa,
Saanugo  vaamidham kulam,

Bavadhbyaa mudhtham kruchaath,

Duranthascha  samedhitham

Luckily    you killed the sinner Kamsa,

And his followers, purified  the clan,

And thus  the vrushni clan,

Was   free of suffering  and upgraded.

2.Yuvaam   pradhana  purushow,

Jagath  hethu  jananmayou,

BHavadhbyaam  na vinaa kinchith,

Paramasthi na   chaaparam.

You  and Balarama  are Nature  and Purusha,

The cause  of the world   and that which pervades  the world,

Apart   from you  , there is no,

Cause  nor  any  action.

3.Athmasya   yishtamidham viswam,

Anvavisya swasakthibhi,

Yeeyathe Bahudha  Brahman,

Srutha prathyaksha  gocharam.

You yourself  created  the universe,

Without any help but  by your own power,

And  you yourself  entered in to various forms,

Which can be heard   and seen  as person.

4.Yadha hi bhootheshu,charachareshu,

Mahyaadhayo yonishu baanthi  nana,

Evam bhavan kevala  athma  yoni-,

Shwathma aathma thanthro  bahudhaa  vidhaathi.

Just  like all beings which can move  and not move ,

Are  having different forms  and generated differently ,

You  yourself   appear  in very  many forms,

Depending on yourself in very different  worlds.

5.Srujasyadho  lumbasi  paasi  viswam,

Rajasthama sathwa  gunai swa  sakthibhi,

Na badhyase thadh guna   karmabhirvaa,

Jnanathmanasthe  kwa  cha  bandha  hethu.

You   are  creating nurturing   and destroying  the universe,

Using  the characters soft  , regal  and dark ,

And these  in no way   affects  you at all,

For who can tie you who has a form of  pure consciousness.

6,.Dehadruyu  upaadher  aniroopithathwaadh,

Bhavo na saakshaanna   bhidha aathmanasyaadh,

Atho  na bandhasthaa naiva  moksha,

Syaathaam nikamasthwayee   no aviveka.

Since  there  is no method  to establish   true  existence,

Of the body  , the soul  does  not have  any birth or existence,

And so  for you  who have taken incarnation birth and salvation ,

Are not there and you are always pure and all other,

Assumptions   about   you are  due to ignorance  .

7.Thwayodhithoyam  jagatho  hithaayaa,

Yadhaa yadhaa  veda padha  puraanaa,

Badhyetha paakhanda padhairasadhbhi,

Thadhaa bhavaan  sathwa gunam bhibharthi .

Due  to evil  atheists, whenever  there is problem,

To the  path of Dharma  that you have propagated,

You   take  up an incarnation  with a  sathwa body

So that   the evil  is removed and dharma  restablished.

8.sa thwam prabha   adhya vasu deva gruhe avatheerna,

SWamsena bharamapanethu mihaasi  bhoome  ,

Akshouhini satha  vadhenasuretharaamsa-,

Rajnaamamushya  cha  kulasya   yaso  vithanwan.

OH lord, for reducing the  load of earth by killing  the asuras,

Born as kings and to increase the fame  of Yadhava  clan,

You along with Balarama  have  taken birth,

In the  home   of king  Vasudeva  .

9.Adhyesa   no vasathaya  khalu  bhooribhagaa,

Ya sarva deva  pithru bhoothanya  deva  murthi,

Yath padha soucha  salilam trijath punaathi,

Sa thwam  jagadh  guru  madhokshaja   yaa  pravishta.

Today  my home   is purer  than a sage’s home.

Because  two people  who are   the divine   gurus,

Of all gods, pithrus  , rulers, all beings and Vedas,

Have come here and  ganga  which purifies  the world is rising  from their feet.

10.Ka pandithasdhwa para   saranam sameeyaadh,

Bhaktha priyaadhyutha gira suhrudha kruthajnaath,

Sarvaan  dhadhaathi suhrudho bhajatho   adhi kaamaan,

Athmaanamapyupachayaapacha yau  na yasyaa.

Would a wiseperson leave you  who is the form of truth,

And friend of the world and decide  to surrender  to some one else?

To those  who love you, you  fulfill  all  their   desires and also give them,

Your form , Which if they reach, they do not have going up or down.

11.Dhishtyaa janardhana bhavaniha ne pratheetho,

Yaageswarai api duraapagathi suresai,

Hindhyaasu  na  sutha kalathra  dhanaptha  geha,

Dehaadhi moha rasanaam bhavadheeya  mayaam.

Oh Krishna, it is our great luck that  you  who cannot  be reached,

By great yogis    as well as great devas, have come to our home,

PLease cut off our the rope of  personal attachment 

To  our son  , wife  ,Property  , relations  , home and  the body
