Meaning

Player of the flute, giver of joy Nanda's son, the cowherd boy (Krishna)/ Come, come, Radha's joy/ In the Threta Yuga You incarnated as Rama, Sita's Lord./ In Dwapara Yuga, You incarnated as Krishna, Radha's Lord./ You are the Savior who taught the Gita./ In every age You assume the appropriate form.

Son of Nanda the shepherd, enchanting flute player, come oh come Lord of Radha. In the Age of Treta, You incarnated as Rama, Lord of Sita. In the Age of Dwapara, You incarnated as Krishna, Lord of Radha. You are the Saviour who taught us the Bhagavad Gita. From age to age You embody the perfect form.
