Oh! Lord Jagannatha, who recites melodious music on his flute, sitting on the river bank of Kalindi/Yamuna, he is a honeybee who finds immense pleasure in the lotus like faces of beautiful young maidens of Vraja. He is venerated by the deities such as Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi/ Rama, Lord Shambhu/Shiva, Lord Brahma, Lord Indra/Amarapathi and Lord Ganesha. Oh!
