go-sūktaṃ bhāṣate gāvaḥ padaṃ sarva-suparvaṇām |
tad brahmādau suparvatvam avan vinda gavendratām || [anuṣṭubh]
tavedaṃ kiyad aiśvaryaṃ yad brahmāvadhi-pālanaṃ |
vaikuṇṭha-kuṇṭhatā-kāri yasya goloka-vaibhavam || [anuṣṭubh]
sarvasya pālakāt kvāpi khaṇḍa-pālanam iṣyate |
jagat-prakāśakād bhānor nija-dhāma-prakāśavat || [anuṣṭubh]
nāsmākaṃ kevalam idaṃ mataṃ kintu vidher api |
yad bhaved asya cendrasya durbuddheḥ śuddhi-bhāvanam || [anuṣṭubh]
tvat-kṛpāyāḥ paraṃ sthānaṃ vayam ity eṣa vāsavaḥ |
āśiśriye yad asmāṃs tad dvāra-mātrāya kalpate || [anuṣṭubh]
yasmān mṛgyati tām eva mad-vidhād bhavataḥ kṛpām |
kūpād iva rasāntaḥ-sthāṃ tarṣī ghana-rasa-sthitim || [anuṣṭubh]
tad eva deva paśyendraḥ paśyaṃs tava pada-dvayam |

"The Cow Hymn declares cows to be the abode of all the gods; / therefore, protecting divinity beginning with Brahmā, attain the status of lord of the kine! ||
How great is this lordship of yours, which protects all up to Brahmā, / whose opulence of Goloka causes even Vaikuṇṭha to pale! ||
Protection of a part is sometimes desired even from the protector of the whole, / just as illumination of its own abode is sought from the sun, the illuminator of the universe. ||
This is not our opinion alone, but Brahmā's as well, / so that a purification of mind may take place for this foolish Indra. ||
Because we are the supreme vessel of your grace, this Indra / has taken shelter of us; that serves merely as an entrance-way. ||
For he seeks through someone like me that very grace of yours, / just as a thirsty person, through a well, seeks water lying within the earth, which has the consistency of a cloud. ||
Therefore, O Lord, behold Indra, who, looking at your two feet, / intimates your consecration by the thousand streams of tears from his eyes!" ||
