Sri Krishnaya nama- Salutations to Krishna

1.Avyadha jongri maniman sthava jaavadhoru,
Yajnochyutha katithatam jataram hayasya,
Hrudkesavastha dhoora eesa inasthu kandam,
Vishnubujam mukhamurukrama eesawarakam.

1.Let without any pretension God who was not born protect your foot, Let the God with Kausthubha gem protect your knee caps,
Let your thigh be protected by Yajna and hip by Achyutha, belly by Lord Vishnu in the form of a horse
Let your heart be protected by Kesava, Let your breasts be protected by the great God,
Let your hands be protected by Vishnu, Let your face be protected by God with wide steps and Head by Iswara.

2.Chakrayagratha sahagadho harirasthu paschad,
Thwath parswayordhanuraseemadhuha janascha,
Koneshu sankha urugaya upayupendra,
Stharkshya kshithou hala dhara Purusha samanthath,

2.Let the Lord holding the divine wheel protect the baby in front and Hari protect him from the back,
And let both his sides be protected by the bow wielding killer of Madhu and the birth less lord holding the bow and the sword,
Let his four corners be protected by God sung by many holding the conch, let his top be protected by Lord Vamana,
Let his side below be protected by rider of Garuda and all sides by The supreme one holding the plough.

Sarve nasyanthu they Vishnor nama grahana bheerava.

6-8 .Let Yathu dhani,Dakini and Koosmandas which seize their victims,
The ghosts, Corpses and Devils Yakshas, Rakshasas and Vinayakas,
Kotara, Revathi, Jyesta, Puthana, Matrukas and others,
Which are evil spirits causing madness, Causing epilepsy ,
Ana all of which torment the body and organs ,
And interfere with vital functions and those evil events in the dreams,
Indicating grave portents, and catch hold of the young and the old ones alike,
Get terrified at the name of Vishnu and let them all die.

Ithi Srimad Bhagawathe Dasama skande Gopi krutha,
Baala Rakshaa stotram sampoornam.
