श्रीवल्लभेति वरदेति दयापरेति भक्तप्रियेति भवलुण्ठनकोविदेति।

नाथेति नागशयनेति जगन्निवासेत्यालापिनम् प्रतिदिनम् कुरु मां मुकुन्द॥

कुलशेखर प्रणीता मुकुन्दमाला १

śrīvallabheti varadeti dayāpareti bhaktapriyeti bhavaluṇṭhanakovideti|

nātheti nāgaśayaneti jagannivāsetyālāpinam pratidinam kuru māṁ mukunda||

kulasekhara praṇitā mukundamālā 1

A sublime peace of prayer by Kulasekhara Azhwar to Krishna, the Mukunda.. the Sri Vallabha..

That Sri Vallabha.. who protected the clan of cowherds by holding aloft the Govardhana mountain as a cover.. when Indra threw down thunderbolts and torrential rain.. is in the midst of an unprecedented flood.. And we are crying out to Him in utter pain and anguish..

Meaning of the Sloka

Mukunda,

may you be pleased to make me a humble helpless devotee crying out to you

Lord of Sree, the Mahalakshmi.. Sreevallabha

You the generous and merciful dispenser of boons Varada

You whose staple character is just to be kind, kind and kind Dayaapar

You, who is the darling of all your devotees, you who love your devotees Bhaktapriya

You, the consummate specialist in the process of removing the woes of Karma of all those who depend on you Bhavalundanakovida

You, my master, the only real master Natha

You, the one who uses the snake Sesha as your bed Naagashayaan

You, who just live and manifest, inside and outside everything in the universe.. you Jagannivasa

==========

But Krishna, at present, you are just making us cry in utter agony.. Show mercy..

Krishna Krishna Krishna
