Pūtanā-mokṣa — The Witch Pūtanā’s Attempt and Kṛṣṇa’s Deliverance
पृश्निगर्भस्तु ते बुद्धिमात्मानं भगवान् पर: । क्रीडन्तं पातु गोविन्द: शयानं पातु माधव: ॥ २५ ॥ व्रजन्तमव्याद्वैकुण्ठ आसीनं त्वां श्रिय: पति: । भुञ्जानं यज्ञभुक् पातु सर्वग्रहभयङ्कर: ॥ २६ ॥
pṛśnigarbhas tu te buddhim ātmānaṁ bhagavān paraḥ krīḍantaṁ pātu govindaḥ śayānaṁ pātu mādhavaḥ
愿主普利什尼伽尔婆护佑你的智慧，至上人格神护佑你的灵我。你嬉戏时，愿戈文达守护；你安睡时，愿摩达瓦守护。你行走时，愿毗昆塔护佑；你端坐时，愿吉祥天女之夫那罗延护佑。你受用生活时，愿耶阇那布克——令一切凶恶星曜畏惧者——恒常护持。
