Eight Prayers Glorifying Govardhana Hill

and received the respectful tribute of its arch-enemy Indra, fulfil my desire.

mahendra-vajrahatim apy ahanan

govardhano me disatam abhistam

experiencing the softness of its beloved Krsna's lotus hand it did not even

know it was being struck by Indra's thunderbolt. May Govardhana Hill fulfil my

desire.

sruteh sprha yatra mahaty atah sri-

govardhano me disatam abhistam

daughter. The personified Vedas yearn to listen to that quarrel. May

Govardhana Hill fulfil my desire.

pollen of kadamba and other flowers, gracefully plays there. May Govardhana

Hill fulfil my desire.

there make the Lord so calm and relaxed? May Govardhana Hill fulfil my desire.

deer do not find Him. May Govardhana Hill fulfil my desire.

govardhano me disatam abhistam

 

As the divine couple travelled on the Ganges there the boat began to sink in

the middle. Krsna was splendidly handsome as Radha clung to his neck. May

Govardhana Hill fulfil my desire.

 

8 vina-bhavet kim hari-dasa-varya-

padasrayam bhaktir atah srayami

yam eva saprema nijesayoh sri-

govardhano me disatam abhistam

 

Without taking shelter of the feet of the hill that is the best of Lord Hari's

servants and full of love for the divine king and queen, how is it possible to

attain pure devotional service? May Govardhana Hill fulfil my desire.

 

9 etat pathed yo hari-dada-varya-

mahanubhavastakam ardra-cetah

sri-radhika-madhavayoh padab ja-

dasyam sa vinded acirena saksat

 

May the reader of these eight verses glorifying Lord Hari's greatest servant,

his heart melting with pure love, quickly attain direct service to the lotus

feet of Sri Sri Radha-Madhava.
