O Lord Shyama (Krishna), the dark complexioned one who plays the flute, You are the beloved of Gokula who is the stealer of butter. You are the Lord of Mathura, the most beautiful one, the Lord of Surdas. You are the one who held the mountain to protect Your devotees. You are the delightful dancer who has incarnated as Lord Sai of Parthi.
