ଶ୍ରୀ କୃଷ୍ଣ ସ୍ତଵରାଜଃ (ନାରଦ କୃତମ୍)

From the Narada Pancharatra, and it moves through three words in turn. It begins with be gracious and stays there six verses, working one figure over and over: lofty one of the lofty, be gracious; deep one of the deep; you who are beyond the reach of the far-reaching; tender one of the tender-natured. Then it changes to victory — victory, Madhava, whose self is maya; victory, holder of the conch; victory, discus and mace in hand; victory to the head crowned with the best of gems, and to the sun's rays turned red where the lord of birds' shadow cuts them. Then it changes again to salutation, to the foe of Naraka, to Madhusudana, to the lovely sidelong glance, to the remover of all fear. Its last verse but one is built of nothing except the word for cow, eight times over, and salutes the leader of Gokula.
