MEANING:

Lord of wondrous deeds, prince of Mathura, abiding in the banks of the pure Yamuna river, the sacred light that took birth in the shepherd's community, who by your very birth glorified the womb of mother Yasoda, whose belly was tied with a string (damodara). To You we come with a pure heart and worship by offering flowers, singing your praise, thinking about your wholeheartedly. Such worship shall burn our past sins and the ones to be committed in future much the same way cotton burns when it comes in contact with fire.
