1) I offer pranama to Nandanandana, whose face is extremely

delightful, in whose beautiful ears hang jeweled earrings, and whose

entire body is anointed with fragrant candana.

2) I offer pranama to Nandanandana, whose eyes are more beautiful than

the fully bloomed lotus, whose head is beautifully adorned with an

arrangement of peacock feathers, and who enchants millions of Cupids.

3) I offer pranama to Nandanandana, from whose beautiful nose hangs an

elephant-pearl, whose teeth are immensely effulgent, whose bodily

complexion is more beautiful and lustrous than a fresh raincloud.

4) I offer pranama to Nandanandana, whose lotus hands hold the flute,

whose lingering gait defeats even that of an impassioned elephant, and

whose dark limbs are beautified by a yellow shawl.

5) I offer pranama to Nandanandana, whose threefold-bending posture is

exquisitely elegant, the effulgence of whose toe-nails puts to shame

even the moon, and who wears invaluable jewels and ornaments.

6) I offer pranama to Nandanandana, whose body exudes an especially

beautiful fragrance, and whose broad chest is adorned with the

kaustubha jewel and the mark of srivatsa.

7) I offer pranama to Nandanandana, the expert lover of Vrndavana who

performs immaculate pastimes and who is attired in clothes which are

suitable for those pastimes, and who pulverized the pride of Indra.

8) I offer pranama to Nandanandana, who as the lover of the Vraja

gopis perpetually delights them and who enchants the minds of all

living entities.

9) Whoever regularly recites this Sri Nanda-nandanastakam will easily

cross the seemingly insurmountable ocean of material existence and

attain eternal residence at the lotus feet of Krsna.
