Sri Krishnaleela Tharangini by Sri Narayana Theertha – Prathama Sarga: Mangalacharanam 5 - Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||












I shall meditate upon supreme Lord who has various incarnations such as Mathsya/giant fish, Koorma/tortoise, Varaha/wild boar, Naramriga/half lion and half man, Vamana/dwarf, Bhargava/Parasurama, Rama, Balarama and Krishna.  Oh! Krishna, Oh! Kripasamudhra who is the ocean of mercy, Lord who is free from desires personified as Buddha, he is the store house of virtues, Oh! Krishna, who have impending manifestation as Kalki, he is the destroyer of wicked people, he is supreme Lord of deities, he is eternal and pure, he is supreme bliss, he is supreme Lord who is incarnated in most pleasing form,  he symbolizes purity and he is Paramapavana/purifier of souls, he is incarnated as cowherd, he is beloved of cowherds, young maidens of cowherds and cattle, he is Achyutha who is mysterious and Parathathva, he is the destroyer of miseries and sorrows of worshiper, he is the protector of Narayanatheertha and Victory to Gopala/little Krishna who is personified as cowherd and protector of cows !


Sri Krishnaleela Tharangini is the quintessence of devotion to Lord Vasudeva who symbolizes fortune, in order to cultivate intense devotion in the intellect, it comprises the birth of Krishna and various amusements of Krishna as a little lad of cowherd, and the marvelous fairy tales of protector of cowherds and the cows, mischievous Krishn’s pilfering  clothes of young maidens of cowherds, Krishna elevates the Mount Govardhana, Krishnas most celebrated Rasaleela with the beautiful young maidens of cowherds, Kamsa’s death, Krishnas arrival to the sacred city Dwaraka, Krishnas wedding ceremony with Rukmini.  The glorious verses of Krishnaleela Tharangini begin with the birth of Lord Krishna, and followed by the imprisonment of Ugrasena, Devaki and Vasudeva. Lord Bhrama, Lord Indra, Goddess Earth and Sanakadhis approaches Lord Hari, after listening to their appeal, Lord Hari decides to incarnate on Earth as eighth child of Devaki and Vasudeva, seven children were already killed immediately after the birth by Kamsa, at the advice of Maharishi Narada, seventh child was Sangharshana, Krishna was brought to Gokulam immediately after birth, later he was moved to Mathura due to the harassment of numerous wicked demons.
