Kavijana Hrn Mandaaram Kanakajita Susareeram

Ravisashi Nayana Vilaasam Ramaneeya Mukhaabhaasam

Sivagaanaadi Visvaasam Sri Guruguha Manollaasam

Meaning: (TK Govinda Rao’s book):

My thoughts are always centred on Govardhana Girisha, Who attracted the minds of Gopikaas. He killed the haughty Kamsa.

He is the essense of the name Govinda; he who protected Gajendra. He is like lotus to the hearts of poets. His body is resplendent with golden lusture. His eyes shine like that of a sun; having a beautiful face; has endeared the SIVAGANAAs and delighted the mind of Sri Guruguha.
