Mookam Karoti Vachalam and other prayers to Sri Krishna

Mookam Karoti Vachalam
Pangum Langayat Girim,
Yad Kripa Tamaham Vande
Paramananda Madhavam

I bow to that blissful Madhava (Krishna, by whose grace the dumb become orators and the lame cross mountains.



Krishnaya Vasudevaya
Haraye Paramatmane,
Pranatha Klesha Nashaya
Govindaya Namo Namaha

Salutations to thee, O Krishna. Salutations to thee, the Supreme Being. Salutations to thee, O Govinda, who removes the sorrows of those who seek relief from their difficulties by prostrating to thee.

Janami Dharman Na Cha Me Pravritti,
Janami Adharman Na Cha Me Nivritti
Twaya Hrishikesha Hridastitena,
Yada Niyunktosi Tada Karomi

I know that righteousness is, yet I am unable to do it,
I know what unrighteousness is, yet I am forced to do it!
I Hrishikesha (Krishna), thou art the dweller in my heart,
As thou guide me, so shall I act.
