(7)
kuveratmajau baddhamurtyaiva yadvat
tvaya mocitau bhaktibhajau krtau ca
tatha premabhaktim svakam me prayaccha
na mokse graho me 'sti damodareha
7) O Lord Damodara, just as the two sons of KuveraManigriva and Nalakuvarawere
delivered from the curse of Narada and made into great devotees by You in Your form as
a baby tied with rope to a wooden grinding mortar, in the same way, please give to me
Your own premabhakti. I only long for this and have no desire for any kind of liberation.
(8)
namas te 'stu damne sphuraddiptidhamne
tvadiyodarayatha visvasya dhamne
namo radhikayai tvadiyapriyayai
namo 'nantalilaya devaya tubhyam
8) O Lord Damodara, I first of all offer my obeisances to the brilliantly effulgent
rope which binds Your belly. I then offer my obeisances to Your belly, which is the
abode of the entire universe. I humbly bow down to Your most beloved Srimati
Radharani, and I offer all obeisances to You, the Supreme Lord, who displays
unlimited pastimes.
This song is sung during the Month of Kartik. As quoted in the Shree Hari Bhakti Vilasa,
"In the month of Kartik one should worship Lord Damodara and daily recite the prayer
known as Damodarastaka, which has been chanted by the sage Satyavrata and which
attracts Lord Damodara. (Shree Haribhaktivilasa 2.16.198).”

Jaya Shree Shree RadhaDamodara!
