04 Sri Krishnam Yogivaryam

श्रीकृष्णं योगिवर्यं प्रियजनसुखदं गोपिकानन्दकन्दं
गीतातत्त्वैकवेद्यं भवहरणपटुं बुद्धमुक्तस्वभावम् ।
पार्थं खिन्नं प्रपश्य स्थिरमतिमकरोदात्मतत्त्वोपदेशाद्-
य: सर्वात्मा प्रभुं तं स्थिरसुखनिलयं भक्तिवश्यं स्मरामि ॥

śrīkṛṣṇaṃ yogi-varyaṃ priya-jana-sukhadaṃ
gopikānanda kandaṃ
gītā-tattvaika-vedyaṃ bhava-haraṇa-paṭuṃ
buddha-mukta-svabhāvam |
pārthaṃ khinnaṃ prapaśya sthira-matim-akarod-
ātma-tattvopadeśād
ya: sarvātmā prabhuṃ taṃ sthira-sukha-nilayaṃ
bhakti-vaśyaṃ smarāmi ||

I repeatedly think of that Lord Sri Krishna, who is the best of Yogis, who bestows happiness to those dear to him, who is the source of joy for the Gopikas, who can be understood only by the truth exposed in Gītā, who is clever in robbing worldliness, who is by nature illumined and liberated, who on seeing the son of Pṛthā (Arjuna) afflicted, instructed him the truth of the Self making him stable-minded, who is the Self of all, the Master, and the abode of permanent happiness, who can be won over by devotion.
