1) I offer my respectful obeisances unto Hari, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, the descendant of the Yadu dynasty, husband of the goddess of fortune and the killer of the demon Keśī, the protector of the cows, the pleaser of the cows, the supreme enjoyer, and the slayer of the demon Madhu. Chant the holy names “Rādhā-Govinda!”
