The second Govardhanāṣṭakam. Obeisance to Śrī Govardhana. May Govardhana, dear to Kṛṣṇa, always spread well-being for us. For seven days he dwelt in the umbrella shade held upon Agha's enemy's stafflike arm, adorned with abundant shining beauty like a blue pillar, protecting the people of Gokula whose minds were wearied by falling torrents.

May mighty Govardhana always spread well-being for us. From fear of him, even Indra's elder brother, disregarding the bonds of relatives' affection, quickly entered the ocean as a mountain; Govardhana made Indra, the enemy of Jambha, as powerless as a pillar that cannot be split.

May blessed Govardhana always spread well-being for us. Manifesting an immense body with a plainly displayed crown, declaring clearly, ‘I am the mountain,’ and expanding a satisfied gaze, he personally tasted the food the cowherds offered at Kṛṣṇa's direction.

May this Govardhana again always spread well-being for us. Even today, on the first day of bright Kārttika, his great sacrifice instituted by Kṛṣṇa shines throughout the world, rich with the play of surabhi cows and buffaloes. With excellent banks from which grass hangs, he sustains the families of animals.

May Govardhana, cherished by the winds, always spread well-being for us. The winds steal the jeweled fragrance of lotuses from the lake of Gāndharvā's beloved, then move under the sway of rising apprehension, sounding aloud and pursued by an agitated company of splashing water droplets.

May Govardhana always spread well-being for us. His rows of stones are washed spotless by hosts of waves from Mānasī-gaṅgā, which reveals all around a vessel for the cowherd women's love through the amorous sports of Kaṃsa's enemy in her waters.

May the sacred bodily beauty of Govardhana always spread well-being for us. His groves bear eloquent witness to the force of Gāndharvā's amorous quarrels: discarded peacock-feather ornaments encircle the weary lotus ears, and fallen Vaijayantī garlands cover the beds.
