Sanskrit Original
सनातनो वै मधुहा गोविन्द इति विश्रुतः। स सर्वान् पार्थिवान् संख्ये घातयिष्यति मानदः॥ सुरकार्यार्थमुत्पन्नो मानुषं वपुरास्थितः। न हि देवगणा: सक्तास्त्रिविक्रमविनाकृताः॥ भुवने देवकार्याणि कर्तु नायकवर्जिताः। नायकः सर्वभूतानां सर्वदेवनमस्कृतः॥
He is Eternal. He is the destroyer of Madhu, and is otherwise called Govinda. The Giver of honors, He will cause all the kings of Earth to be killed in battle, for securing the purposes of the celestials, taking birth in a human form. The celestials, abandoned by Him, are unable to do their work on Earth Without Hiin as their Icader they cannot do anything. He is the leader of all creatures and is worshipped by all the gods.
