I worship the one adornment of Vraja, the refutation of all sins
He always delights the minds of His devotees and is the delight of Nanda
He had a well-tailed bunch of heads and a handful of sounding flutes
I bow to the ocean of colorlessness, the black city
Releasing the pride of the mind, with large rolling eyes
I bow to the lotus-eyed one whose grief for the cows is dispelled
The ground of the Karara lotus is beautiful with a smile
I bow to the black elephant that tears the honor of Mahendra
Kadamba gold earrings and a beautiful cheekbone
I bow to Krishna, the only beloved of Vraja, who is rarely found
Yashoda, Samodaya, Sagopaya, Sanandaya
I bow to the leader of the cowherd who is united and gives happiness alone
Always keep the lotus feet in my mind
I bow to the child of Nanda who is wearing a loose garland
Absorbing all faults and nourishing the whole world
I bow to the mind of all cows, the yearning for Nanda
The incarnation of the earth, the holder of the ears of the ocean of death
I bow to the young man of fame, the thief of the mind
He breaks the love of the eyes and always accompanies the palm tree
Day by day I bow to him who is born of Nanda
The virtuous, the pleasant, the merciful, the merciful
I bow to the destroyer of the enemies of the gods, the delight of the cowherd men
New Gopanagar, new Kelilampat
I bow to the beautiful clouds, the lightning-beaming true veil
The delight of all the cowherd men, the delight of the lotus of their hearts
I bow to him in the midst of the lotus flower beautiful with the cheerful sun
The beautiful arrow of the sight that gives no desire
I bow to the singer of the juicy flute, the leader of the flowers
lying on a bed of burnt cows and desires
I bow to the hippopotamus who grew up in the lotus forest
It was beautifully decorated with youthful radiance
I bow to him who liberates the lord of elephants and enjoys the goddess of fortune
Whenever, as it is, so is the true story of Krishna
Let me always sing and let grace be bestowed upon me
A man who chants and recites the two Pramanika Ashtakas
He will be a good devotee in the Nandanandana
This is the Sri Krishna Ashtakam composed by Srimat Shankaracharya
This is the complete stotra of Kṛṣṇa’s grace and glance.
I offer myself to Lord Krishna.
