TRANSLATION:

 

1) I offer pranama to Nandanandana, whose face is extremely delightful, in

whose beautiful ears hang jeweled earrings and whose entire body is anointed

with fragrant candana.

 

2) I offer pranama to Nandanandana, whose eyes are more beautiful than the

fully bloomed lotus, whose head is beautifully adorned with an arrangement of

peacock feathers and who enchants millions of Cupids.

 

3) I offer pranama to Nandanandana, from whose beautiful nose hangs an

elephant-pearl, whose teeth are immensely effulgent, whose bodily complexion is

more

beautiful and lustrous than a fresh rain cloud.

 

4) I offer pranama to Nandanandana, whose lotus hands hold the flute, whose

lingering gait defeats even that of an impassioned elephant and whose dark

limbs are beautified by a yellow shawl.

 

5) I offer pranama to Nandanandana, whose threefold-bending posture is

exquisitely elegant, the effulgence of whose toe-nails puts to shame even the

moon,

and who wears invaluable jewels and ornaments.

 

6) I offer pranama to Nandanandana, whose body exudes an especially beautiful

fragrance, and whose broad chest is adorned with the kaustubha jewel and the

mark of srivatsa.

 

7) I offer pranama to Nandanandana, the expert lover of Vrindavana who

performs immaculate pastimes and who is attired in clothes which are suitable

for

those pastimes and who pulverized the pride of Indra.

 

8) I offer pranama to Nandanandana, who as the lover of the Vraja gopis

perpetually delights them and who enchants the minds of all living entities.

 

9) Whoever regularly recites this (Sri Nanda-nandanastakam) will easily cross

the seemingly insurmountable ocean of material existence and attain eternal

residence at the lotus feet of Krsna.

 

this sung is sung daily in many Gaudiya Mathas
