Srinidhim srikaram sri mukundam

Aajaanu bahum ajabhava vanditham

Nija bhaktha jana dhukka nivaranam

Treasure of Lakshmi, who does only good is that Mukunda,

Who has hands touching the thigh, who is saluted by Brahma and Shiva,

Who cures the sorrow of his true devotees,

And lives in the heart of Krishna dasa and his people.
