Varaya Turnam Imam

Volume 6 Song 16

(Refrain) vāraya tūrṇam imaṁ sakhi
kṛṣṇam anucita-karmaṇi nirmita-tṛṣṇam

Refrain: Friend, hold Krsna back. He thirsts to do something wrong.

pulakam upaiti bhayān mama gātram
hasasi tathāpi madād ati-mātram

Out of fear the hairs of My body stand erect. Still, you proudly laugh at Me.

jāne bhavatīm eva vipakṣam mām upanīta yad vana-kakṣam

I know you are My enemy because you have brought Me here to the middle of this forest.

adya sanātanam ati-sukha-hetum
na parihariṣye vidhi-kṛta-setum

I shall not abandon the eternal rules of morality, which are the source of great happiness.
