Dhanyoham, Krishna , Krishna,

Thava nama  keerthanena  Dhanyoham,

Brahadhibhi  manyoham

Pallavi

I am fortunate Krishna, Krishna,

I am fortunate because  of singing your names,

And even Brahmas are thinking about me.

Anupallavi

Dhanyoham  hi  Krishna , thava Padaravindha,

Smarana mathrena, kimanya  saadhanena.

Anupallavi

I  am definitely fortunate  Krishna, as  soon,

I think about your lotus fet. What is the need of  any other thing.

Charanam

1.Aswamedha vara yajnai kim   anya dharma jala samjnai,

Viswa karthareesa vidhrutha jeeva pasai,

SAswath   bhakthirasthu  thava krupa mathrena.

Charanam

1.When you are doing the blessed Aswamedha Yajna  ,

What is the   need for any  other  web of Dharma,

And when one is  perplexed  by the rope of life  of doer of the world,

By having stable devotion to    you  and getting only your grace.

2.Ganga pramukha   theerhacharansai kim,

Anga sosha mathrena karanai,

Mangala aalaya   Sri Krishna Vasudeva,

Madhavedhi jihwaa  vakthi  yadhi

2. What is the need of   taking  bath in  ,

Ganga and other sacred waters,

Which would only lead to thinning of your limbs,

If the tounge keeps on telling Madhava  ,

Krishna and Vasudeva in sacred temples.

3.Kruchradhi sakala upavasai kim,

Krutha Prayaga nithya vaasai kim,

 Vajra hastha madha banjanaaya,

Govardhano udhara Sri Krishna   dasyenaiva.

3.What is the need for punishing penances like fasting,

What is the need   of living daily in Prayaga(Allahabad) ,

Except doing service  to Krishna who lifted Govardhana

And subdued  great pride    with his strong hands.

4.Pancha Vahnyaa   thapasaa kim,

Pranayama , jitha manasa ,

Kanja bhava  Janaka  kalitha Gopala Bala,

Leelaa Sudha sindhu  viharanenaiva,

4.What is the need for penance in between five fires,

And doing Pranayama    for controlling the mind,

Except telling    that cowherd boy  who is the producer of nectar,

And  being   in the nectar like lake of sports   of him.

5.Ajamiladhi SAmudhara nithya,

Ajitha sarva loka  sarana,

Gaja Rajendra  bhaya  harana divya charana,

Vijaya Gopala  Sri Gopika   RAmana.

5.Oh God who gave salvation to Ajamila,

Who helps   those who have failed  all over  the world,

Oh God  whose sacred feet  removed the fear of the king of elephants,

Oh Vijaya Gopala   who is the darling of  Gopis.
