namāmi yamunāmahaṃ sakala siddhi hetuṃ mudā
murāri pada paṃkaja sfuradamanda reṇutkaṭāma
taṭastha nava kānana prakaṭamoda puṣpāmbunā
surāsurasupūjita smarapituḥ śriyaṃ bibhratīma (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.
kalinda giri mastake patadamandapūrojjvalā
vilāsagamanollasatprakaṭagaṇḍśailonntā
saghoṣagati danturā samadhirūḍhadolottamā
mukundarativarddhinī jayati padmabandhoḥ sutā (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.
bhuvaṃ bhuvanapāvanīmadhigatāmanekasvanaiḥ
priyābhiriva sevitāṃ śukamayūrahaṃsādibhiḥ
taraṃgabhujakaṃkaṇa prakaṭamuktikāvālukā
nitanbataṭasundarīṃ namata kṛṣṇturyapriyāma (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.
anantaguṇa bhūṣite śivaviraṃcidevastute
ghanāghananibhe sadā dhruvaparāśarābhīṣṭade
viśuddha mathurātaṭe sakalagopagopīvṛte
kṛpājaladhisaṃśrite mama manaḥ sukhaṃ bhāvaya (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.
yayā caraṇapadmajā muraripoḥ priyaṃbhāvukā
samāgamanato bhavatsakala siddhidā sevatāma
tayā sadṛśatāmiyātkamalajā sapatnīva yata
hari priyakalindayā manasi me sadā sthīyatāma (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 sadā tava caritra matyadbhutaṃ
na jātu yamayātanā bhavati te payaḥ pānataḥ
yamopi bhaginī sutāna kathamuhanti duṣṭānapi
priyo bhavati sevanāttava hareryathā gopikāḥ (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.
mamāstu tava sannidhau tanunavatvametāvatā
na durlabhatamā ratirmuraripau mukundapriye
atostu tava lālanā suradhunī paraṃ suṃgamāta
ttavaiva bhuvi kīrtitā na tu kadāpi puṣṭisthitaiḥ (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.
stutiṃ tava karoti kaḥ kamalajā sapatni priye
hareryadanusevayā bhavati saukhyamāmokṣataḥ
iyaṃ tava kathādhikā sakala gopikā saṃgama
smaraśramajalāṇubhiḥ sakala gātrajaiḥ saṃgamaḥ (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.
tavāṣṭakamidaṃ mudā paṭhati sūrasūte sadā
samastaduritakṣayo bhavati vai mukunde ratiḥ
tayā sakalasiddhayo muraripuśca santuṣyati
svabhāva vijayo bhavedvadati vallabhaḥ śrī hareḥ (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.
