श्रीनवनीतकृष्णदशकम्
नारायणप्रसादेन वैदेशिकोsपि कृष्ण मे ।
नवनीतेन दोलायां मोहयन्नद्य वर्तसे ॥ 1
Through Sri Narayana Prasad (or by the grace of Sriman Narayana) Krishna, though you are in a foreign land (or far off from my mind), seem to charm me today with the butter (in your hand) in the dola.
नारायणयतीन्द्रेण समाराधितमूर्तये ।
भूयो नमः प्रदत्ताय सर्वलोकहिताय ते ॥ 2
Salutations in abundance to this form of Krishna of yours, which was propitiated very well by the 45th Jeer of Ahobila mutt (Sri Narayana Yatindra Mahadesikan) and gifted (to the bhagavatas of the USA) for the welfare of the whole world.
शठकोपस्य हृद्याय बालरामानुजाय ते ।
देशिकस्तुतगोपाय व्याहरामो नमो नमः ॥ 3
We chant namo namah to you, Balakrishna, who is very close to the heart of Shatakopa (Nammalwar) and who has been glorified in his stuti by Swami Desika.
विशालफुल्लनेत्राय विप्रसन्नमुखाय ते ।
विलसन्मन्दहासाय नमोवाकमधीमहे ॥ 4
We chant Salutations to you, with broad and expanded eyes, a shining face and lustrous gentle smile.
भूयस्ते भूयते सम्यक् आराधनं यथाविधि ।
विद्वज्जनैर्विदेशेsपि दृष्ट्वा मोदो विजायते ॥ 5
There arises a lot of happiness when we see that Thiruvaradanam is being performed in abundance to you (even) in a foreign land by able Bhagavatas in accordance with tradition.
असूया जायते चित्ते नवनीतस्य दर्शने ।
दक्षिणहस्तभूतस्य किं तेन सुकृतं कृतम् ॥ 6
Alas, there arises a sense of jealousy in me when I look at the butter in your right hand – what punya did it perform to get there even?
विशुद्धचित्तदुग्धाब्धेरन्तर्हितं परं हितम् ।
प्रबन्धैर्बहिरायातं नवनीतमहं भजे ॥ 7
The highest form of good you are, a navanita yourself, present hidden inside the pure hearts of your devotees, which is akin to a milky ocean, and which is brought out through their prabandhas (when their emotions were churned).
दिव्यसूरिभिराचार्यैः तवैतद्दिव्यदर्शनम् ।
तमोवनं मनो हन्त बृन्दावनं करोतु मे ॥ 8
Let this divya darshana of yours along with Azwars and Acharyas change my mind, alas! a dark forest, to brindavana (a forest of tulsi, so that you would wander)
श्रीसन्निधौ यथा भाति दिव्यमङ्गलविग्रहः ।
तथैवात्रापि गोविन्द कारुण्यं ते विराजते ॥ 9
It is indeed your grace that this murti of yours (here) is very much the same as that of the one worshipped in Sri Sannidhi.
किरीटालम्बिबर्हेण निभृतपादयोजिता ।
आकृतिर्वासुदेवस्य भद्रमातनुते हि नः ।। 10
This form of Vasudeva with a peacock feather in his crown and with one leg fixed (the other one is slightly bent depicting a gentle forward movement) bestows all forms of auspiciousness to us.
इयं स्तुतिश्च कृष्णस्य नवनीतापहारिणः ।
रामचित्ताद्बहिर्नीता कारुण्यात्तापहारिणः ॥ 11
This stuti of Krishna, who rejoiced in stealing butter, has been brought out from the mind of Sreeram through the grace of the remover of afflictions of Samsara.
(Composed by Dr.Sreeram Jaganathan Setlur, disciple of Sri U.Ve.Dr.S.Padmanabhachariar, Srikaryam of Sri Ahobila mutt)
