O Yamunā, O place where the gopīs, gopas, and cows enjoy pastimes, O glory of Lord Krsna, by your shores is a great tumult of swiftly moving waves, by your shores is a great forest filled with the buzzing of bees and the calls of the peacocks, by your shores is a host of cooing cuckoos. May Srī Yamunā, who is decorated with the flowering vines of Vraja, protect me.
