r Govardhana-Vsa-Prrthan-Daakam
rla Raghuntha Dsa Goswm
Commentary by rla Gour Govinda Swami Mahrja
Now I will chant the ten verses of r Govardhana-vsa-prrthan-daakam, written by rla
Raghuntha Dsa Gosvm in glorification of Girirja Govardhana.
1. So Raghuntha Dsa Goswm says, O rman Giri Govardhan speaking of the mountains,
hills which are far and wide spread please give me a place to stay with you. Id like very
much to stay with you because you are lifted by your Master, Bhagavn Ka. Your master,
Bhagavn Ka lifted you like an umbrella. You are resting on his hand, thereby Lord Ka
crushed the pride of the heavenly King Indra, who was very proud and puffed up because of
his opulence. This is the meaning of this verse.
2. O my dear Govardhan, give me a place to stay with you because you are manifesting the
very sweet ll of Rdh and Ka in each of your caves. Staying with you, I want to see these
loving, nectarean, conjugal, sweet ll of Rdh and Ka.
