I bow before that God Vishnu, Who is the lord of all the universe, Who is black like a cloud, Who wears yellow silks, Who has the sreevatsa on him, Whose limbs shine because of Kousthubha, Who has eyes like an open lotus, And who is surrounded by the blessed always.

I bow before the God Vishnu, Who has four arms, Who has a conch and wheel in his hands, Who wears a crown and ear globes, Who wears yellow silks, Who has lotus-like eyes, Who shines because of Kousthbha, Worn in his garlanded chest.

I seek refuge in Lord Krishna, Who is with Rukhmani and Satyabhama, Who sits on a golden throne, In the shade of Parijata tree, Who is of the color of the black cloud, Who has long broad eyes, Who has a face like a moon, Who has four hands, And who has a chest adorned by Sreevatsa.
