Namaami Yamuna Maham, Sakal Sidhi Hetu Muda.
Murari Pad Pankaj, Sphurad Mand Renutkataam.
Tatastha Nav Kaanan Prakat Mod Pushpambuna.
Surasursu-Poojit Smarpitu Shreeyam Bibhrateem. [1]
I ecstatically bow to Shri Yamunaji, the giver of all divine powers. Her expansive sands shine brightly like the lotus feet of Lord Krishna. Flowers from fresh forests on Her banks mingle with Shri Yamunaji and make Her waters fragrant. Both humble and assertive Gopis worship Shri Yamunaji as well. She contains the beauty of Krishna.
Kalind-Giri-Mastake, Patdamand-Poorojwalaa.
Vilas-Gamanollasat, Prakat-Gand Shailonnattaa.
Saghosh Gati-Dantura, Samadhi-Roodh-Dolottammaa.
Mukund-Rati-Vardhini, Jayati Padmabandho-Sutaa. [2]
Appearing from the heart of Lord Narayan, Shri Yamunaji cascades from the summit of the Kalindi mountain with brilliance. She descends the rocky slopes with dalliance, Her waters roaring as She appears to be swaying in a lovely swing. Glories to Shri Yamunaji, the daughter of the sun, Who increases the bhakta's love for Mukunda.
Bhuvam Bhuvan Paavani, Madhi-Gataa-Maneka Swane.
Priya-Bhiriv-Sevitaam, Shuk Mayur Hansadibhi.
Tarang-Bhuj Kankan, Prakat-Muktika-Valuka.
Nitamb-Tat-Sundareem, Namat Krushna-Turya-Priyaam. [3]
Shri Yamunaji has come to earth for its purification. Like the Gopis serve their beloved Krishna, Shri Yamunaji is served by the many songs of the peacocks, parrots, swans and others. Her waves are Her arms and Her pearly bangles are Her sands. Her banks are her hips. Bow to this beautiful Yamuna, the fourth and foremost beloved of Krishna.
Anant-Gun-Bhooshite, Shiv-Viranchi-Dev Stute.
Ghanaa-Ghan-Nibhe-Sadaa, Dhruv-Paraasharaa-Bhishta-De.
Vishuddh-Mathura-Tate, Sakal Gop Gopi Vrite.
Kripa-Jaladhi-SanShreete, Mam Manah Sukham Bhaavay. [4]
Embellished with countless virtues, Shri Yamunaji is praised by Shiva, Brahma and others. Her hue is always the color of dark clouds and She fulfills the wishes of Dhruva and Parashara. At Her banks by the pure city of Mathura, She is surrounded by the Gopis. Oh Yamunaji, You have taken the shelter of Shri Krishna, the ocean of grace. Bring joy to my heart.
Yayaa Charan Padmaja, Muraripoh Priyam Bhaavuka.
Samaa-Gamanato-Bhavat, Sakal Sidhida Sevtam.
Taya Sadrushtamiyat, Kamalja-Sapatneev Yat.
Hari-Priy-Kalindayaa, Manasi-Me Sadaa Stheeyataam. [5]
Only when Ganga merged with You, O Yamunaji, did She become beloved to Krishna and only then was Ganga able to give all devotional powers to those who worship Her. If there is anyone who can come close to You, it would be Your co-wife Shri Laxshmi. May You remain forever in my heart Kalindi, Beloved of Hari, Destroyer of the strifes of this age of Kali.
Namostu Yamune Sadaa, Tav Charitr-Matyadbhutam.
Na-Jaatu-Yam-Yaatna, Bhavati-Te-Payah-Paanatah.
Yamopi-Bhagini Sutaan, Kath-Muhanti-Dushtaanapi
Priyo-Bhavati Sevnaat, Tav Hareryathaa Gopika. [6]
Obeisances to You forever, Shri Yamunaji. Your story is most amazing. Those who sip Your waters are never tormented by Yama, the God of retribution, for how could He ever harm the children of His younger sister, even if they are bad? Those who worship You become beloved to Hari just like the Gopis.
Mamaastu Tav Sannidhau, Tanu Navatv-Metaavataa.
Na-Durlabhtamaa-Rati, Muraripau-Mukund-Priye.
Atostu-Tav-Laalna, Surdhuni Param Sangamaat.
Tavaiv Bhuvi Keertitaa, Na-Tu-Kadaapi Pushti-Sthithe. [7]
By being near you may my body be divinely transformed and renewed. Then it will not be at all difficult to love Krishna. This is why I cherish you. Ganga was praised in the world only after She joined You and grace-filled souls only worship Ganga after she has met You.
Stutim Tav Karoti Kah, Kamalja-Sapatni-Priye
Hareryadanu-Sevaya, Bhavati-Saukhya-Ma-Mokshatah.
Iyam Tav Kathaadhika, Sakal Gopikaa-Sangamah.
Smar-Shram Jalarubhih, Sakal Gatrajaih Sangamah. [8]
Who is capable of praising you, Krishna's beloved Shri Yamunaji, co-wife of Laxshmi? If worshipped in conjunction with Hari, Shri Laxshmi can at best award the bliss of liberation. Your story, however, is far greater, for Your entire body is composed of the beads of sweat that have dropped from Shri Krishna as He joins with the Gopis.
Tavaashtak-Midam-Mudaa, Pathati Surasoote Sadaa.
Samast Duritakshayo, Bhavati Vai Mukunde-Rati.
Tayaa Sakal Sidhayo, Murari-Pushch-Santushyati.
Swabhaav-Vijayo-Bhavet, Vadati Vallabhah Shree Hareh. [9]
Oh Yamuna, Daughter of the sun! Those who joyfully recite this eight-fold praise have all of their impurities removed and love Krishna. Through You all devotional powers are attainer and Shri Krishna is pleased. You transform the nature of your bhaktas, says Shri Vallabhacharya, Beloved of Hari.
