Meaning in English

O Lord Nandagopala, who gives water and charity to all,
rise from Your sleep, O protector of the world!
You are the tender shoot among strong elders,
the shining light of Your noble clan, O son of Yashoda Devi.

O Lord who once covered the worlds with the sky,
O ruler of the heavens, do not sleep anymore!
O golden-hued Balarama, brother of Krishna,
awake — for the time has come to bless us all, O Paavai!
