Thereafter, seeing Lord Krishna, the invincible heavenly tree, arrived with Balarama, Dharmaputra, spoke these humble words:
Be my savior, hey lotus-eyed,
the one who shows compassion to dependents, Hey the protector of the world!
[[Hey winter-moon-faced, killer of hell,
the one who killed demon Mura, hail hail, Hey Mukunda.
Hail, hail, the happiness provided,
Hey the protector of world. ]]
Due to the mis-deeds of Kouravas,
we are trapped and exhauseted, hey the protector of the world!
On your relatives – you do not mercy –
what is the reason – hey, God, God, protector of the world!.
