##1. O Auspicious One residing in the Guruvayur temple! O
Jagannatha, Govinda, Vishnu, Murari! Devotion to You, when

resplendent with goddess Lakshmi, the Kaustubha jewel, the
Srivatsa mark and the necklaces on Your broad chest and Your
arms wielding the mace, conch, discus and lotus.##

##8. Those seeking knowledge are filled with wonder when they
contemplate in their minds Your body shining with the yellow
robe of silk and Your small belly which is like a fresh leaf of
the Aswattha tree, in which are contained all the innumerable
universes.##

##9. The enlightened ones and the Siddhas are delighted when
they see Your pair of feet which are worshipped by the gods,
demons and sages and which rest on the Upanishads.##

##10. Your devotees, meditating on Your beautiful form which
has the blueness of a cloud, enjoy the bliss long wished for
when they prostrate before You, singing hymns of praise.##

##11. O Hari! O Krishna! O Lord of Guruvayur! O Achyuta! Even
enemies and those who are indifferent constantly think of You;
what to say of those who have been Your devotees since long.
Such is the extent of Your glory.##

##12. The six enemies of all human beings suffering in this
world (desire, anger, greed, infatuation, pride and jealousy)
become the means of liberation if they are directed towards
You. By directing all their worldly activities towards You,
many have attained eternal liberation. (The gopikas attained
liberation through infatuation, Kamsa through fear, Sisupala
and others through hatred and anger).##

##13. The narratives about Your stealing milk, etc., delight
children; those about Your sporting with the gopikas delight
the sensuous; those about Your wrestling matches delight
soldiers. O Lord, everything that You did is very attractive
to all human beings.##

##14. The narratives about the Rajasuya sacrifice delight
Vedic scholars; Your deeds as an envoy of the Pandavas delight
diplomats. Your exposition of the Gita to Arjuna and the
manifestations of Your Visvarupa delight yogis.##

##15. O Krishna! All the amazing stories about You instruct
about the Reality behind the universe. Shining in Guruvayur,
You are the Guru of all, giving to each one the instruction
that is suitable for him.##

jagatprANarUpI gururmAruto yo janAnAM jagatyatra cheShTAntareShu |

##16. You the Lord of Guruvayur shine as the life of the
universe, as the vital air of all beings and as the Guru. You
are the supreme Reality. As the indwelling self of all, You
enliven all and enable them to perform actions.##

##
This hymn was composed by Kodungallur Kunhikkuttan
Thampuran, a devotee-poet in the erstwhile State of Cochin. It
is a very beautiful hymn in the lilting Bhujangaprayata metre
and describes how the events in the life of Lord Krishna
delight people of all  ages and all stations in life.
