O Vāsudeva, whose splendid radiance is immeasurable, pure and ever manifest, beloved of Sundarī, adept bearer of the mountain, creator of steadfastness, radiance, and the Creator... (1)
adhika bandhaṁ randhaya bōdhācchindhi pidhānaṁ bandhuramaddhā। kēśava kēśava śāsaka vandē pāśadharārcita śūravarēśa ॥2॥
O Supreme One, destroy bondage; indeed, cut the close-fitting covering away from understanding. O Keśava, Keśava, ruler, I bow to you, worshipped by the bearer of the noose, lord of the foremost heroes. (2)
nārāyaṇāmala kāraṇa vandē kāraṇa kāraṇa pūrṇavarēṇya। mādhava mādhava sādhaka vandē bādhaka bōdhaka śuddhasamādhē ॥3॥
I revere you, O Nārāyaṇa, stainless cause and cause of causes, the perfect and most excellent one. I revere you, O Mādhava, O Mādhava, accomplisher, restrainer, enlightener, whose concentration is pure. (3)
gōvinda gōvinda purandara vandē skandasunandanavanditapāda। viṣṇō sr̥jiṣṇō grasiṣṇō vivandē kr̥ṣṇa saduṣṇavadhiṣṇō sudhr̥ṣṇō ॥4॥
Govinda, Govinda, destroyer of strongholds, I praise you, whose feet are revered by Skanda and Sunandana. O Vishnu, creator and devourer, I revere you—O Krishna, slayer of Saduṣṇa, most daring one. (4)
madhusūdana dānavasādana vandē daivatamōdita vēditapāda। trivikrama niṣkrama vikrama vandē saṅkrama sukrama huṅkr̥tavaktra ॥5॥
O Madhusūdana, destroyer of Dānavas, I praise you—gladdener of the gods, whose feet are known. O Trivikrama, who strides forth with mighty steps, I praise you—who strides across with excellent strides, whose face utters “hūṃ.” (5)
vāmana vāmana bhāmana vandē sāmana sīmana sāmana sānō। śrīdhara śrīdhara śandhara vandē bhūdhara vārdhara kandharadhārin ॥6॥
O Vāmana, Vāmana, radiant one, I praise you; O sacred chant, boundary, sacred chant, and summit. O Śrīdhara, Śrīdhara, bearer of well-being, I praise you; O bearer of the earth, bearer of water, and bearer upon the shoulder. (6)
hr̥ṣīkēśa sukēśa parēśa vivandē śaraṇēśa kalēśa balēśa sukhēśa। padmanābha śubhōdbhava vandē sambhr̥talōkabharābhara bhūrē। dāmōdara dūratarāntara vandē dāritapāragapāda parasmāt ॥7॥
Hṛṣīkeśa, beautiful-haired one and supreme Lord, I bow reverently to you—the Lord of refuge, the arts, strength, and happiness. Padmanābha, source of auspiciousness, I bow to you, bountiful bearer of the burden of the worlds you sustain. Dāmodara, more distant than the highest yet innermost, I bow to you, whose foot passed beyond the boundary it had pierced. (7)

This song of Hari, composed with the highest devotion by the eminent sage Ānandatīrtha, is like the sun for seeing the next world and is supremely effective in increasing devotion to Hari. (8)
