Act Nine : mugdha mukundaù

The Lost Lord of Liberation

Scene Eighteen : Song 18 : Verse 11

sändränanda-purandarädi-diviñad-våndair amandädaräd änamrair mukuöendranéla-maëibhiù sandarçitendindiram svacchandaà makaranda-sundara-galan-mandäkiné-meduraà Shri-govinda-padäravindam açubha-skandäya vandämahe Translation When Shri Kṛṣṇa deflated the pride of King Bali, the celestials were immersed in bliss. As they bowed to him with the utmost reverence, the reflected lustre of the sapphires on their crowns made his feet seem to be blue lotus flowers. The charming Ganges flows effortlessly and spontaneously like honey from the lotus of those feet. We pray to Shri Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet, the vanquishers of all inauspiciousness.
