I worship Shri Yamuna Ji, the daughter of Kalind mountain, who carries the fragrance of sandalwood paste embellished on the limbs of the King of Braj, Shri Krishn, who burns the root of ignorance caused by the repeated births, whose pure glory spreads in the three worlds, whose water is as wonderful as nectar, and who destroys the attachment to this material world, which is very difficult to destroy.

I worship Shri Yamuna Ji, the daughter of Kalind mountain, who grants the highest limit of nectar, devotion to Shri Radhika Ju's Lotus Feet, and who carries the beautiful saffron radiance of Shri Radha's cosmetics, which is very soft, and who fades away the black radiance of collyrium with Her blackish complexion, and who destroys the attachment to this material world, which is very difficult to destroy.

I worship Shri Yamuna Ji, the Kalind mountain's daughter, whose actual form is indeed the divine nectar overflowing rapidly from the overfilled great oceans of Shri Radha and Shri Krishn's hearts, and who destroys the attachment to this material world, which is very difficult to destroy. [3]

I worship Shri Yamuna Ji, the daughter of Kalind mountain, whose two banks are covered with beautiful species of birds, including Swans and Cranes, and constructed of brilliant shining diamonds, in whose waters a variety of fish playfully frolics creates the impression of a waistbelt, who provides food for even the most destitute and lowly, and who destroys the attachment to this material world, which is difficult to destroy.

I worship Shri Yamuna Ji, the daughter of Kalind mountain, who joyfully possesses the brightness of Shri Hari's dark limbs and is the exact personification of mercy, who is the embodiment of the foremost, dazzling, pure, and ambrosial devotion, who has the same complexion as Shri Krishn and whose stream is transcendental nectar, and who destroys the attachment of this material world, which is very difficult to destroy.

I worship Shri Yamuna Ji, the daughter of Kalind mountain, who is worshipped by all demigods and is equally intoxicated by nectar as Shri Krishn himself is, who has attained some wonderful nectar from the land of Shri Vrindavan, whose wave-like arms are restlessly surging around, overpowered by divine love, who destroys the attachment of this material world which is very difficult to destroy.

I worship Shri Yamuna Ji, the daughter of Kalind mountain, in whose waters the bloomed red lotuses resemble her face, the blue lotuses resemble her beautiful eyes, a pair of Chakwa [Brahminy duck] birds resemble Her breasts, many swans are enjoying themselves in its waters, her buttocks are her two banks, and She is always radiant because She is the embodiment of Shri Hari's beloved, Shri Radha's nectar who destroys the attachment of this material world which is very difficult to destroy.

I worship Shri Yamuna Ji, the daughter of Kalind Mountain, whose splendour is beyond the reach of all the Vedas and Upanisads, who is constantly meditated upon by well-known Yogis such as Narad, who bestows divine love on even the most despicable and sinful of human beings and who destroys the attachment to this material world, which is very difficult to destroy.

All those who sincerely recite this eight-versed prayer, three times a day remembering Shri Yamuna Ji, who is worthy of being worshipped by the entire world, will achieve the transcendental devotional love for Shri Krishn in this world and they would undoubtedly become intimate Sahachari [maidservant] of Shri Radhika after leaving their physical bodies.
