Devanagari script

एकतः क्रतवः सर्वे सर्वतीर्थसमन्विताः । एकतो देवदेवस्य जागरः कृष्णवल्लभः । न समं ह्यधिकः प्रोक्तः कविभिः कृष्णजागरः

Transliteration

ekataḥ kratavaḥ sarve sarvatīrthasamanvitāḥ | ekato devadevasya jāgaraḥ kṛṣṇavallabhaḥ | na samaṃ hyadhikaḥ proktaḥ kavibhiḥ kṛṣṇajāgaraḥ

Translation

ایک طرف سب یَجْنَ اور تمام تیرتھ اکٹھے ہیں؛ دوسری طرف دیوتاؤں کے دیوتا کا جاگَرَن ہے جو کرشن کو محبوب ہے۔ شعرا نے کہا ہے کہ کرشن کا جاگَرَن محض برابر نہیں—بلکہ برتر ہے۔

FAQs

Dvārakā, implicitly as the celebrated setting for Kṛṣṇa’s beloved vigil.

Undertake Kṛṣṇa-jāgaraṇa as a foremost devotional vow, praised as superior to sacrifices and tīrtha-merit.
