Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram Lyrics

Achyutham Kesavam Rama-Narayanam
Krishna-Damodaram Vasudevam Harim;

Janakee-Nayakam Ramachandram Bhaje

Achyutham Keshavam Satyabhamadhavam
Madhavam Shreedharam Radhikaradhakam;

Devakee-Nandanam Nandajam Sandadhe
Vishnave Jishnave Shakhine Chakrine
Rukmineeragine Janakeejanaye;

Krishna Govinda he Rama Narayana
Shreepate Vasudevajite Shreenidhe;

Achyutanata he Madhavadhokshaja
Dvarakanayaka Draupadee-Rakshakaa
Rakshasakshobhitah Seetayah Shobhito
Dandakaranya Bhoopunyata Karanah;

Gastyasampoojito Raghavah Patumam
Dhenukarishtaka Nishtakriddveshinam
Keshiha Kamsahridvamshiko vadakah;

Achyuta syastakam Yah Pathedistadam
Prematah Pratyaham Purusah Saspruham
Vrittatah Sundaram Kartrivisvambharas
Tasya Vasyo Harirjayate Satvaram

Who wore clothes shining like lightning,
Whose form shone like the clouds of rainy season,

Rathna moulim lasad kundalam gandayo,
Haara keyuragam kankana projwalam,

I pray him who wears tiny bells
Who is handsomely black,
Who has a shiny face curly hairs,
Whose cheeks reflect the shine of his jeweled ear studs,
Who wears golden garlands,

He who reads this octet,
Which is dear to God Achyutha,
Which is written with love and devotion,
Which is beautiful because of its poetic skill,
With love and devotion,
Would reach the Lord fast and without fail.
