ಕದಾಚಿದ್ಗೋಪಾಲಾನ್ ವಿಹಿತಮಖಸಮ್ಭಾರವಿಭವಾನ್ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷ್ಯ ತ್ವಂ ಶೌರೇ ಮಘವಮದಮುಧ್ವಂಸಿತುಮನಾಃ।

Kadachidgopalan vihitamakhasambharavibhavan nirikshya tvam shaure maghavamadamudhvamsitumanah, vijanannapyetan vinayamridu nandadipashupanaprichchhah ko vayam janaka bhavatamudyama iti.
Once, seeing the cowherds gathering lavish provisions for a sacrifice, you, intent on humbling Indra’s pride, asked Nanda and the elders gently and humbly, though you knew already: ‘Father, what is all this preparation for?’
ಬಭಾಷೇ ನನ್ದಸ್ತ್ವಾಂ ಸುತ ನನು ವಿಧೇಯೋ ಮಘವತೋ ಮಖೋ ವರ್ಷೇ ವರ್ಷೇ ಸುಖಯತಿ ಸ ವರ್ಷೇಣ ಪೃಥಿವೀಮ್।
ನೃಣಾಂ ವರ್ಷಾಯತ್ತಂ ನಿಖಿಲಮುಪಜೀವ್ಯಂ ಮಹಿತಲೇ ವಿಶೇಷಾದಸ್ಮಾಕಂ ತೃಣಸಲಿಲಜೀವಾ ಹಿ ಪಶವಃ॥
Babhashe nandastvam suta nanu vidheyo maghavato makho varshe varshe sukhayati sa varshena prithivim, nrinam varshayattam nikhilamupajivyam mahitale visheshadasmakam trinasalilajiva hi pashavah.
Nanda told you: ‘Son, the sacrifice to Indra must be held every year; he gladdens the earth with rain. Everything people live on depends on rain, and we most of all, for our cattle live on grass and water.’
ಇತಿ ಶ್ರುತ್ವಾ ವಾಚಂ ಪಿತುರಯಿ ಭವಾನಾಹ ಸರಸಂ ಧಿಗೇತನ್ನೋ ಸತ್ಯಂ ಮಘವಜನಿತಾ ವೃಷ್ಟಿರಿತಿ ಯತ್।
ಅದೃಷ್ಟಂ ಜೀವಾನಾಂ ಸೃಜತಿ ಖಲು ವೃಷ್ಟಿಂ ಸಮುಚಿತಾಂ ಮಹಾರಣ್ಯೇ ವೃಕ್ಷಾಃ ಕಿಮಿವ ಬಲಿಮಿನ್ದ್ರಾಯ ದದತೇ॥
Iti shrutva vacham piturayi bhavanaha sarasam dhigetanno satyam maghavajanita vrishtiriti yat, adrishtam jivanam srijati khalu vrishtim samuchitam maharanye vrikshah kimiva balimindraya dadate.
Hearing your father, you answered charmingly: ‘Nonsense! It isn’t true that rain comes from Indra. The unseen karma of living beings brings the fitting rain. What offering do the trees in the great forest give to Indra?’
ಇದಂ ತಾವತ್ ಸತ್ಯಂ ಯದಿಹ ಪಶವೋ ನಃ ಕುಲಧನಂ ತದಾಜೀವ್ಯಾಯಾಸೌ ಬಲಿರಚಲಭರ್ತ್ರೇ ಸಮುಚಿತಃ।
ಸುರೇಭ್ಯೋಽಪ್ಯುತ್ಕೃಷ್ಟಾ ನನು ಧರಣಿದೇವಾಃ ಕ್ಷಿತಿತಲೇ ತತಸ್ತೇಽಪ್ಯಾರಾಧ್ಯಾ ಇತಿ ಜಗದಿಥ ತ್ವಂ ನಿಜಜನಾನ್॥

‘This much is true: our cattle are our family’s wealth, so it is fitting to make the offering to the mountain that sustains them. And on earth the brahmins are higher even than the gods, so they too should be honoured.’ So you told your people.
ಭವದ್ವಾಚಂ ಶ್ರುತ್ವಾ ಬಹುಮತಿಯುತಾಸ್ತೇಽಪಿ ಪಶುಪಾ ದ್ವಿಜೇನ್ದ್ರಾನರ್ಚನ್ತೋ ಬಲಿಮದದುರುಚ್ಚೈಃ ಕ್ಷಿತಿಭೃತೇ।

Hearing you, the cowherds, full of respect, honoured the brahmins and made grand offerings to the mountain; they walked around it reverently and bowed low; and you, taking the form of the mountain, ate the whole offering before their eyes.
ಅವೋಚಶ್ಚೈವಂ ತಾನ್ ಕಿಮಿಹ ವಿತಥಂ ಮೇ ನಿಗದಿತಂ ಗಿರೀನ್ದ್ರೋ ನನ್ವೇಷ ಸ್ವಬಲಿಮುಪಭುಙ್ಕ್ತೇ ಸ್ವವಪುಷಾ।

Avochashchaivam tan kimiha vitatham me nigaditam girindro nanvesha svabalimupabhunkte svavapusha, ayam gotro gotradvishi cha kupite rakshitumalam samastanityukta jahrishurakhila gokulajushah.
And you said to them: ‘Was anything I said untrue? This king of mountains eats his offering in his own body. This mountain can protect us all even if Indra, enemy of mountains, is angry.’ Hearing this, all of Gokula rejoiced.
ಪರಿಪ್ರೀತಾ ಯಾತಾಃ ಖಲು ಭವದುಪೇತಾ ವ್ರಜಜುಷೋ ವ್ರಜಂ ಯಾವತ್ ತಾವನ್ನಿಜಮಖವಿಭಙ್ಗಂ ನಿಶಮಯನ್।

Pariprita yatah khalu bhavadupeta vrajajusho vrajam yavat tavannijamakhavibhangam nishamayan, bhavantam janannapyadhikarajasakrantahridayo na sehe devendrastvaduparachitatmonnatirapi.
As the delighted people of Vraja went home with you, Indra heard that his sacrifice had been stopped. Though he knew who you were, his heart was gripped by passion and he could not bear it, though it was you who had raised him to his high place.
ಮನುಷ್ಯತ್ವಂ ಯಾತೋ ಮಧುಭಿದಪಿ ದೇವೇಷ್ವವಿನಯಂ ವಿಧತ್ತೇ ಚೇನ್ನಷ್ಟಸ್ತ್ರಿದಶಸದಸಾಂ ಕೋಽಪಿ ಮಹಿಮಾ।

Manushyatvam yato madhubhidapi deveshvavinayam vidhatte chennashtastridashasadasam kopi mahima, tatashcha dhvamsishye pashupahatakasya shriyamiti pravrittastvam jetum sa kila maghava durmadanidhih.
‘If even Vishnu, slayer of Madhu, having become human, can insult the gods, the gods’ glory is gone. So I will destroy that wretched cowherd’s prosperity.’ So Indra, a storehouse of arrogance, set out to defeat you.
ತ್ವದಾವಾಸಂ ಹನ್ತುಂ ಪ್ರಲಯಜಲದಾನಮ್ಬರಭುವಿ ಪ್ರಹಿಣ್ವನ್ ಬಿಭ್ರಾಣಃ ಕುಲಿಶಮಯಮಭ್ರೇಭಗಮನಃ।

Tvadavasam hantum pralayajaladanambarabhuvi prahinvan bibhranah kulishamayamabhrebhagamanah, pratasthenyairantardahanamarudadyairvihasito bhavanmaya naiva tribhuvanapate mohayati kam.
Sending the clouds of the world’s end into the sky to destroy your home, wielding his thunderbolt and riding his cloud-elephant, he set out, while fire, wind and others laughed at him inwardly. Lord of the three worlds, whom does your maya not delude?

Reassuring the cowherds, ‘Even if Indra is angry, we are surely safe by the brahmins’ kindness and the mountain’s grace,’ you waited, thinking, ‘Why hasn’t the mountain-breaker come yet?’ Lord of Guruvayur, enemy of Mura, drive away my illnesses.
