You skillfully vanquished the wrestlers Chanura and Malla. You destroyed Sakatasura and Mura. You are adorned with gem studded crown, necklaces and bracelets. You skillfully broke the head of intoxicated elephant. Brahma the lord of Sarasvati worships you. You wear yellow silk dress and adorn Vyjayantimala. You are always victorious. You destroyed evil Kamsa. Brahmanas prostrate before you. Drona, Karna, Duryodhana and other warriors were conquered because of your help. You saved the dignity of Droupadi. Veena players, musicians and Guru Guha worship you. You are free from attachment to friends or hatred towards enemies. You captivated the hearts of Gopikas.
