As it was held above the earth it became so filled with happines by experiencing the softness of its beloved Krishna's lotus hand it did not even know it was being struck by Indra's thunderbolt. May Govardhana Hill fulfill my desire.

Trying to collect a toll, Krishna quarrelled there with King Vrishabhanu's daughter. The personified Vedas yearn to listen to that quarrel. May Govardhana Hill fulfill my desire.

yam eva saprema nijesayoh sri- govardhano me disatam abhishtam
Without taking shelter of the feet of the hill that is the best of Lord Hari's servants and full of love for the divine king and queen, how is it possible to attain pure devotional service? May Govardhana Hill fulfill my desire.
