O Mind, chant the name of Lord Krishna, the beautiful, dark-complexioned Lord who lifted the Govardhana mountain with His little finger, who adorns a crown of peacock feathers and is draped in yellow silk. So sweet and enchanting is Thy form and name. Glory to the one who plays the Divine Flute and who is the Lord of Meera.
