Please just recite these sweet syllables: "Govinda," "Damodara," and "Madhava." O my tongue, you are fond of sweet things and are of discriminating taste I tell you the highest truth, which is also the most beneficial. O tongue, drink only this nectar (of the names), "Shri Krishna, dearmost of Shrimati Radharani, Lord of Gokula, Gopala, Lord of Govardhana, Vishnu, Govinda, Damodara," and "Madhava." This alone is to be chanted at the time of death of one's material body-"Govinda, Damodara, Madhava!" And this too is to be sung after the cessation of all sufferings. This indeed is the essence (found) upon ceasing the affairs of mundane happiness. O my tongue, just always worship these beautiful, enchanting names of Krishna, "Govinda, Damodara," and "Madhava," which destroy all the obstacles of the devotees. In house after house, groups of cowherd ladies gather on various occasions, and together they always chant the transcendental names of Krishna-"Govinda, Damodara, and Madhava."Įven the ordinary mortals comfortably seated at home who chant the names of Vishnu, "Govinda, Damodara," and "Madhava," certainly attain (at least) the liberation of having a form similar to that of the Lord.
Though desiring to sell milk, dahi, butter, etc., the mind of a young gopi was so absorbed in the lotus feet of Krishna that instead of calling out "Milk for sale," she bewilderedly said, "Govinda!", Damodara!", and "Madhava!" "Shri Krishna! Govinda! Hari! Murari! O Lord, Narayana, Vasudeva!" O tongue, please drink only this nectar-"Govinda, Damodara, Madhava!" I remember the infant Mukunda, Who sleeps inside a hollow Banyan leaf and Who by His lotus-hands, is putting His lotus-feet in His lotus-mouth.
