Prayers by Devaki

"mumucur munayo devah sumanamsi mudan vitah

mandam mandam jaladhara
jagarjur anusagaram
nisithe tama-udbhute
jayamane janardane
devakyam deva-rupin yam vishnuh sarva-guha-sayah
avirasid yatha pracyamd isindur iva pushkalah"
"The demigods and great saintly persons showered flowers in a joyous mood, and
clouds gathered in the sky and very mildly thundered, making sounds like those of the
ocean's waves. Then the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vishnu, who is situated in
the core of everyone's heart, appeared from the heart of Devaki in the dense darkness
of night, like the full moon rising on the eastern horizon, because Devaki was of the
same category as Sri Krishna."
- Srimad BhagavatamCanto 10, Chapter 3 "The Birth of Lord Krishna"Verses 7-8

TRANSLATION
(Refrain): All glories to Sri Radha! All glories to Sri Krsna! All glories to their
abode of Vrndavana! All glories to the gopis who are the jewel of the crown
of the rasika mood.
1) In this ecstatic mood, Krsna sings Radhe Radhe and Radha sings Syam
Syam! The Holy Name and the divine pair of Radhe Syam are my life and
soul.

2) I only have one treasure within this life. The son of Nanda Maharaja, the
enchanter of all, and pleasure giver to Radharani are my life and soul.
3) Syama is the only person who I love. My daily life, mind, body, and soul is
being overwhelmed by the love of Syama.
4) I am verily the maidservant of Srimati Radharani, who is the eternal queen
of the eternal abode of Vrndavana.
5) My wish is to obtain a daily practice of doing eternal service in the eternal
abode. Thus, I wish to keep my life in the way my master, Srimati Radharani,
desires.
