Dâmodarâshthaka TRANSLATION
(1)
To
the Supreme Lord, whose form is the embodiment
of eternal existence, knowledge, and bliss,
whose shark-shaped earrings are swinging to and
fro, who is beautifully shining in the divine
realm of Gokula, who I (due to the offense of
breaking the pot of yogurt that His mother was
churning into butter and then stealing the
butter that was kept hanging from a swing) is
quickly running from the wooden grinding mortar
in fear of mother Yasoda, but who has been
caught from behind by her who ran after Him with
greater speed--to that Supreme Lord, Sri
Damodara, I offer my humble
obeisances. (Seeing
the whipping stick in His mother's hand,) He is
crying and rubbing His eyes again and again with
His two lotus hands. His eyes are filled with
fear, and the necklace of pearls around His
neck, which is marked with three lines like a
conch shell, is shaking because of His quick
breathing due to crying. To this Supreme Lord,
Sri Damodara, whose belly is bound not with
ropes but with His mother's pure love, I offer
my humble obeisances. By
such childhood pastimes as this He is drowning
the inhabitants of Gokula in pools of ecstasy,
and is revealing to those devotees who are
absorbed in knowledge of His supreme majesty and
opulence that He is only conquered by devotees
whose pure love is imbues with intimacy and is
free from all conceptions of awe and reverence.
With great love I again offer my obeisances to
Lord Damodara hundreds and hundreds of
times. 0
Lord, although You are able to give all kinds of
benedictions, I do not pray to You for the boon
of impersonal liberation, nor the highest
liberation of eternal life in Vaikuntha, nor any
other boon (which may be obtained by executing
the nine processes of bhakti). O Lord, I simply
wish that this form of Yours as Bala Gopala in
Vrndavana may ever be manifest in my heart, for
what is the use to me of any other boon besides
this? O
Lord, Your lotus face, which is encircled by
locks of soft black hair tinged with red, is
kissed again and again by mother Yasoda, and
Your lips are reddish like the bimba fruit. May
this beautiful vision of Your lotus face be ever
manifest in my heart. Thousands and thousands of
other benedictions are of no use to
me. O
Supreme Godhead, I offer my obeisances unto You.
O Damodara! O Ananta! O Vishnu! O master! O my
Lord, be pleased upon me. By showering Your
glance of mercy upon me, deliver this poor
ignorant fool who is immersed in an ocean of
worldly sorrows, and become visible to my
eyes. 0
Lord Damodara, just as the two sons of
Kuvera--Manigriva and Nalakuvara--were delivered
from the curse of Narada and made into great
devotees by You in Your form as a baby tied with
rope to a wooden grinding mortar, in the same
way, please give to me Your own prema-bhakti. I
only long for this and have no desire for any
kind of liberation. 0
Lord Damodara, I first of all offer my
obeisances to the brilliantly effulgent rope
which binds Your belly. I then offer my
obeisances to Your belly, which is the abode of
the entire universe. I humbly bow down to Your
most beloved Srimati Radharani, and I offer all
obeisances to You, the Supreme Lord, who
displays unlimited pastimes. I

(found in the Padma Purâna of Krsna
Dvaipâyana Vyâsa, spoken by
Satyavrata Muni in a conversation with
Nârada Muni and Saunaka Rsi)
"In the month of Kârtika one should
worship Lord Dâmodara and daily recite the
prayer known as Dâmodarâshthaka,
which has been spoken by the sage Satyavrata and
which attracts Lord Dâmodara." (S'rî
Hari-bhakti-vilâsa 2.16.198)
