Sri Nanda Maharaja Pranama

śrutim apare smṛtim itare bhāratam anye bhajantu bhava-bhītāḥ aham iha nandaṁ vande yasyālinde paraṁ brahma

Let some who dread the round of worldly life worship the Vedas, others the smṛtis, and others the Mahābhārata. As for me, I worship Nanda here, for in his courtyard is the Supreme Brahman.

bandhūkāruṇa-vasanaṁ sundara-kūrcaṁ mukunda-hṛta-nayanam nandaṁ tundila-vapuṣaṁ candana-gaura-tviṣaṁ vande

I worship Nanda, dressed in cloth as red as the bandhūka flower, with a handsome beard and a round, full belly, his complexion fair as sandalwood and his eyes captured by Mukunda.
