The Lord Helps His Devotees
The voice falterswhen it sings of the deeds of the Lordwho's an ocean of mercy.
He gave guileful Putana, who posed as his mother, amother's reward!
He of whom the Vedas and the Upanishads sing as the Unmanifest,let Yashoda bind him with a rope,lamented Ugrasena's grief,and after killing Kansa made him kingpaying him obeisance, bowing low;
Freed the kings held captive by jardsandhaat which the kingly hosts sang his praises;removing Gautama's cursehe restored life to stone-turned Ahalya:'all in a moment he rescued Braj's ruler from the sea-monster running to his aid as a cow to her calf,"he came hastening to rescue the king of the elephants;he got Namadeva's hut Suradasa,
O, make Hari hear my prayer.
