हेमन्ते प्रथमे मासि नन्दव्रजकुमारिकाः ।
चेरुर्हविष्यं भुञ्जानाः कात्यायन्यर्चनव्रतम् ॥

In the first month of the Winter, the
maidens of Nanda's Vraja observed the
austerity of worshipping Goddess
Katyayani, sustaining themselves with
the food offered in sacrifices.
भद्रकालीं समानर्चुर्भूयान्नन्दसुतः पतिः ॥
They worshipped the Goddess Bhadra-
kali that Nanda's son, Krishna might
become their lord.
नद्यां कदाचिदागत्य तीरे निक्षिप्य पूर्ववत् ।
वासांसि कृष्णं गायन्त्यो विजहुस्सलिले मुदा ॥
Once they went to the river and as
usual, placed their garments on the bank
and joyously sported in the water, singing
of Krishna.
