Original

Variation

Glory to the beloved of Radha, Lord Krishna who has the complexion of dark clouds. He is the source of all auspiciousness, the darling son of Nanda and the one who stole butter from the neighboring houses (hearts of devotees). He is dear to Saint Narada. He takes complete care of those who have surrendered to Him. He is the star of the people of Gokula and is Lord Narayana Himself. Lord Govinda is very dear to His devotees and Saints. He has Garuda (Eagle) as His vehicle and He is the destroyer of sins. He is Lord Narayana Himself.
