Govindāṣṭakam

Verse 9

गोविन्दाष्टकमेतदधीते गोविन्दार्पितचेता योगोविन्दाच्युत माधव विष्णो गोकुलनायक कृष्णेति ।गोविन्दाङ्घ्रिसरोजध्यानसुधाजलधौतसमस्ताघोगोविन्दं परमानन्दामृतमन्तस्थं स तमभ्येति ॥ ९ ॥

In plain words

Whoever recites these eight verses with his mind laid at Govinda's feet, calling out — Govinda! Acyuta! Mādhava! Viṣṇu! Leader of Gokula! Kṛṣṇa! — has every stain in him rinsed away by the nectar of meditation on those lotus feet, and he reaches that Govinda who stands within him: the deathless, the highest joy.

Close to the Sanskrit

Whoever, with mind offered to Govinda, recites this Govinda-octad — 'Govinda! Acyuta! Mādhava! Viṣṇu! Leader of Gokula! Kṛṣṇa!' — he, his every sin washed away by the nectar-water of meditation on Govinda's lotus feet, reaches that Govinda, the deathless highest bliss, standing within.
