Shri Krishna Stuti
कस्तुरी तिलकम ललाटपटले,
वक्षस्थले कौस्तुभम ।
नासाग्रे वरमौक्तिकम करतले,
वेणु करे कंकणम ।
सर्वांगे हरिचन्दनम सुललितम,
कंठे च मुक्तावलि ।
गोपस्त्री परिवेश्तिथो विजयते,
गोपाल चूडामणी ॥
KASTURI TILAKAM LALAT PATALE,

SARVANGE HARI CHANDANAM SULALITAM
KANTHE CHA MUKTAVALI
GOPASTREE PARVESHTITO VIJAYATE

You have been decorated with Kasturi Tilakam, a beautiful Namam on the smooth forehead; You have an ornament of Kausthubham on your Vakshasthalam, the seat of Sri Maha Lakshmi (on the chest); On the nose, You have nava mouktikam, another ornament;On your fingertips, You have a Flute; You also have a Bracelet on Your wrist; Your entire body is bedecked with sandawood paste giving out fragrance; Your neck too is surrounded by another ornament; You are the giver of Mukti (salvation) to the lady-cowherds who went rounds and rounds around You; Oh that Lord, Victory to You -The Ornament to the ornaments of cowherd.
(Cowherd, the commonest of the common man too has his wealth in Him) !
