ଶ୍ରୀ ଗୋଵିନ୍ଦରାଜ ସ୍ତୋତ୍ରମ୍ (Lord Govindaraja Prayer)

Nineteen verses to Govindaraja, each closing Govindaraja, be victorious, and the striking thing is how much of the hymn is a roll of the Tamil Shrivaishnava tradition rather than of the god. Verse after verse names an Alvar or an acharya by a Sanskrit rendering of the name: Shathari and Parankusha, whose thousand songs praise these feet; Kasara-yogi, Bhuta-yogi and the one called Great; Bhaktisara; Kulashekhara the king, who longed to be born a bird or a tree on the Shesha hill; Vishnuchitta, who made the auspicious hymn; the wish-creeper of Vishnuchitta's house, restless for the garland set on the beloved of the cowherds; and the maker of the commentary. Between those the epithets stay in Vraja — lord of the cowherds, son of Vasudeva, bee at the lotus of the gopis.
