Sri Yamunashtakam II – Lyrics and meanings


|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||











My humble salutation to the sacred waters of Yamuna which has the resemblance to dark clouds and bluish complexion of Lord Krishna, she is the provider of immense pleasure superior to the opulence of heavenly abode, she is the destroyer of the sorrows and grief of the three worlds, she is the destroyer of wicked and evil minded people, her river banks are packed with various hermitages, I shall earnestly pray to Kalindhanandhini to remove the impurities in my heart.  Her sacred waters are capable to destroy awful impurities, she is serene, her water currents are capable to destroy the sins of living beings, she is most desirable to Lord Krishna, she carries the vermilion from his body and incessantly flows, I shall earnestly pray to Kalindhanandhini to remove the impurities in my heart.  She destroys the highest of the sins of the living being with the touch of her sacred water, she provides immense pleasure and auspiciousness to the swans and hermits settled on her river banks, I shall earnestly pray to Kalindhanandhini to remove the impurities in my heart. Her river banks are fortunate to witness the amorous sport of Lord Krishna with the cowherds, she is marvelous and beyond description with her beautiful water current, she makes the land sacred and the rivers absorbed by her, I shall earnestly pray to Kalindhanandhini to remove the impurities in my heart.  Her sacred water creates attractive waves that merrily rushes towards the river banks where the hermits are settled, she is worshiped by the luster of autumn moon, she is capable to destroy the sorrows and grief of Samsara, I shall earnestly pray to Kalindhanandhini to remove the impurities in my heart.  Her sacred waters are blended with the fragrance from the attractive body of Radharani, she is devoted to her husband, she is flourished with the union of other rivers, she lure ocean who is her consort, I shall earnestly pray to Kalindhanandhini to remove the impurities in my heart.  She drains the honey bees that are greedily packed on the attractive body of Lord Krishna, she carries the Champaka flower garlands that were released from the hair locks of Radharani during their amorous sport, she provides salvation to the pious and devotees, I shall earnestly pray to Kalindhanandhini to remove the impurities in my heart.  Her sacred waters are the dwelling place of Lord Krishna, her river banks are decked in magnificent hermitages and flowering plants, her waters are packed with the fragrances of fresh alluring jasmine flowers, she guides to cross the ocean of Samsara to whoever takes holy dip in her water, I shall earnestly pray to Kalindhanandhini to remove the impurities in my heart.
