THE MAHABHARATA
 
'शङ्खचक्रगदापाणे द्वारकानिलयाच्युत ।

गोविन्द पुण्डरीकाक्ष रक्ष मां शरणागताम् ॥

हा कृष्ण द्वारकावासिन्क्वासि यादवनन्दन ।

इमामवस्थां संप्राप्तामनाथां किमुपेक्षसे ॥

कृष्ण कृष्ण महायोगिन्विश्वात्मन्विश्वभावन ।

प्रपन्नां पाहि गोविन्द कुरुमध्येऽवसीदतीम् ॥'
 

"O Lotd armed with conch, discus and

mace, Denizen of Dvaraka, Imperishable

Lord, Lotus-eyed Govinda, protect me who

has sought you as refuge.
 

" O Krishna, Denizen of Dvaraka, Joy

of the Yadavas ! Where are you? Why do

you neglect this helpless being who has

come to this critical state?
 

"Krishna, Krishna, the great Yogin,

Soul of the universe, Creator of the

universe, Govinda, save this suppliant

creature, perishing in the midst of

the Kurus."
 

 
इत्यनुस्मृत्य कृष्णं सा हरिं त्रिभुवनेश्वरम् ।

प्रारुदद्दुःखिता [राजन् ] मुखमाच्छाद्य भामिनी ॥
