Summary — English

The Shri Govindashtakam is a hymn of salutations to Govinda, identified as Vishnu, praised as the supreme bliss who is truth, knowledge, the infinite and the eternal, formless yet the form of the universe. Its verses recall episodes from Govinda's life as a cowherd, including being frightened by Yashoda, revealing the fourteen worlds in his mouth, holding up Govardhana, and dancing on the head of Kaliya in the Kalindi. He is described as the lord of the cowherd settlement, the destroyer of the burden of the earth and the disease of worldly existence, beyond speech and sight yet grasped by faith and devotion. The final verse states that whoever reads this Govindashtakam with a mind dedicated to Govinda, reciting names such as Achyuta, Madhava, Vishnu, Lord of Gokula and Krishna, has every sin washed away and attains Govinda, the supreme bliss and nectar dwelling within the heart.
