Only when Ganga merged with You, O Yamunaji, did She become beloved to Krishna and only then was Ganga able to give all devotional powers to those who worship Her. Oh Yamunaji, You have taken the shelter of Shri Krishna, the ocean of grace. At Her banks by the pure city of Mathura, She is surrounded by the Gopis. Her hue is always the color of dark clouds and She fulfills the wishes of Dhruva and Parasha. (3)Įmbellished with countless virtues, Shri Yamunaji is praised by Shiva, Brahma and others. Bow to this beautiful Yamuna, the fourth and foremost beloved of Krishna. Her waves are Her arms and Her pearly bangles are Her sands. Like the Gopis serve their beloved Krishna, Shri Yamunaji is served by the many songs of the peacocks, parrots, swans and others. Shri Yamunaji has come to earth for its purification. Glories to Shri Yamunaji, the daughter of the sun, Who increases the bhakta’s love for Mukunda. She descends the rocky sides of the Kalindi with dalliance, Her waters roaring, as She appears to be swaying in a lovely swing. (1)Īppearing from the heart of Narayan, Shri Yamunaji cascades from the summit of the Kalindi mountain with brilliance. Both humble and assertive Gopis worship Shri Yamunaji well. Flowers from fresh forests on Her banks mingle with Yamunaji and make Her waters fragrant. Her expansive sands shine brightly like the lotus feet of Lord Krishna.
I joyfully bow down to Shri Yamunaji, the giver of all divine powers. Shri Vallabhacharya’s Praise of Yamuna is the auspicious introduction to his sixteen works. Finally, she transforms the being and makes her fit for His loving service. She removes the burdens of this age of struggle, elevates her bhaktas and makes them dear to Krishna. She purifies the earth and removes obstructions that keep bhaktas from experiencing the Blessed Lord. She is the source of all divine powers and increases the bhakta’s love for Shri Krishna. It is through Shri Yamunaji’s grace that one receives the ability to meet Krishna. It is his brilliant praise of the divine river Who is also Shri Krishna’s most beloved. The first of Shri Vallabhacharya’s sixteen works is the Yamunastakam. Here is English transalation and meaning of Yamunastakam by Shyamdasji.
