O Kṛṣṇa! O friend of Arjuna! O chief among the descendants of Vṛṣṇi! O destroyer of those kings who are disturbing elements on this earth! O Lord whose prowess never deteriorates! O Govinda! O Lord who gives pleasure to the ears by the fame which purifies the universe, which is sung by Uddhava, the servant of the gopīs of Vraja! O Lord, please protect your devotees. Worship of a portion of Kṛṣṇa (universal form) has been described. Now Kṛṣṇa, the real object of worship, is introduced with a prayer. O friend of Arjuna (kṛsṇa-sakha)! His affection for the Pāṇḍavas brought him under their control. O chief of the Vṛṣṇis! His affection for the Vṛṣṇis brought him under their control. What is implied here? O fire, destroyer of dynasties of kings who afflicted the earth! Or another meaning is “You are the fire which arose by the friction of clans.” You destroyed the enemies of the Pāṇḍava and Yadus and protected them because of your affection. O Lord with undiminished strength! By such strength you made the Pāṇdavas and Yādavas victorious. O Govinda! You were even more affectionate to the inhabitants of Vraja. What does this mean? O Lord who gives pleasure to the ears by the fame which purifies the universe (tīrtha), which is glorified by Uddhava (and consequently Śukadeva), the servant of the gopīs of Vraja! Uddhava said: āsām aho caraṇa-reṇu-juṣām ahaṁ syāṁ vṛndāvane kim api gulma-latauṣadhīnām yā dustyajaṁ sva-janam ārya-pathaṁ ca hitvā bhejur mukunda-padavīṁ śrutibhir vimṛgyām The gopīs of Vṛndāvana have given up the association of their husbands, sons and other family members, who are very difficult to give up, and they have forsaken the path of chastity to take shelter of the lotus feet of Mukunda, Kṛṣṇa, which one should search for by Vedic knowledge. Oh, let me be fortunate enough to be one of the bushes, creepers or herbs in Vṛndāvana, because the gopīs trample them and bless them with the dust of their lotus feet. SB 10.47.61 dṛṣṭvaivam-ādi gopīnāṁ kṛṣṇāveśātma-viklavam uddhavaḥ parama-prītas tā namasyann idaṁ jagau Thus seeing how the gopīs were always disturbed because of their total absorption in Kṛṣṇa, Uddhava was supremely pleased. Desiring to offer them all respect, he sang as follows. SB 10.47.57
