અગર ચંદનના સેર દેવડાવું, મોતીના ચોક પુરાવું;
નરસૈંઈના સ્વામી મારે મંદિરે પધારો, શેરીએ ફૂલડાં વેરાવું ...    ૨

English Translation:
[In the evening, when our kids return home from schools, we affectionately greet them and at times neighboring women too, join us in fondling the kids. Finding the kids who were well groomed while going to schools in the morning, sometimes look dishevelled on return, but for mothers, they still look much adorable. Don't you find such similarity of events when the Gopis used to find young Krishna herding the cows back home with dust rising from their hooves and the gradually setting sun spreading crimson glow in the sky?]

0. As young Krishna, whom the Gopis fondly called Shyamaliyo returns home bringing back the cowherd from the grazing grounds, he looks much adorably lovable. For the mother Jashoda to see her son, having accomplished the task for the day is a pleasant sight. As relaxed young Krishna plays soothing tunes on his flute, the listeners are absorbed in the evolved heavenly ambience.

1. Having adorned a beautiful garland of Gunjamani, and with a crown made of peacock feathers Krishna looks quite handsome. Looking at handsome and dandyish Krishna, attracts hearts of the young women of Braj.

2. Let me get lines drawn with fragrant Krishna Chandan and Sandalwood powders, and make Rangoli using real pearls. Let me sprinkle flower petals and spread flowers in the street, when the Lord of Narsinh arrives at my temple.
