Following is an improved version (with translation) of the song 'smara krishnam'
by Sri Vadiraja Thirtha that I posted a few days ago.

smara kR^ishhNam bhaja harim, nama vishhNum shrayaa.achyutam.h |
tyaja kAmaM jaya krodhaM, jahi moham bhavaalayam.h || 1 ||

Remember Krishna, sing of Hari, take the name of Vishnu, and take
refuge under Achyuta; give up lust, win over anger, get rid of
delusion -- in this world.

shR^iNu shauri kathAH puNyAH, pashya shriipati vigraham.h |
jighra shrIpAda tuLasIH, spR^isha vaikunTha vallabham.h || 2 ||

Listen to [His] blissful tales of valor, see the icons of the Lord of
Shri; taste the tulasi which has lain at His feet, and touch the
Master of VaikunTha.

smara kR^ishhNam bhaja harim, nama vishhNum shrayaa.achyutam.h |
tyaja kAmaM jaya krodhaM, jahi moham bhavaalayam.h ||

bhuN^kshva keshava naivedyaM, tishhTha mAdhava mandire |
japa nArAyaNamanuM, paTha tannAma ma.ngalam.h || 3 ||

Eat the offering to Keshava, reside in the temple of Maadhava;
meditate on the name of NaaraayaNa, and read His auspicious names.

smara kR^ishhNam bhaja harim, nama vishhNum shrayaa.achyutam.h |
tyaja kAmaM jaya krodhaM, jahi moham bhavaalayam.h ||

pAhi prapanna janatAM, drUhi tathyaM hitaM nR^iiNAm.h |
jehi kAntitaM arthibhyoH, yAhi sajjana-sa.ngatim.h || 4 ||

Obtain the counsel of the wise, always keep in mind the facts that
bring welfare; give up the adoration of the glow of wealth, and seek
the company of the good.

smara kR^ishhNam bhaja harim, nama vishhNum shrayaa.achyutam.h |
tyaja kAmaM jaya krodhaM, jahi moham bhavaalayam.h ||

kuru bhUta dayAM nityaM, chara dharmaM aharnishham.h |
jAnIH nityaM AtmAnaM, avekhyannad.dhi nashvaram.h || 5 ||

Always carry out acts of kindness towards beings, and follow the rules
of dharma without fail; always know the AtmA, and reject all else as
destructible (transient).

smara kR^ishhNam bhaja harim, nama vishhNum shrayaa.achyutam.h |
tyaja kAmaM jaya krodhaM, jahi moham bhavaalayam.h ||

pa.ncha shlokIM imAM chashhvate paThathAraya chi.ntaya
etAvAn.h sarva-vedArthaH samAsena nirUpitaH |
nAsti nArAyaNa-samaM nabhUtaM na bhavishhyati
etena satyavAkyena sarvArthAn.h sAdhayAmyaham.h ||

This composition of five shlokas, read and think about -- in these are
present the meaning of all the Vedas, explained according to rules of
conjunction; there is none equal to NaaraayaNa, there was not such a
one in the past, and there will not be in the future -- knowing this
to be the truth, I will achieve everything.

smara kR^ishhNam bhaja harim, nama vishhNum shrayaa.achyutam.h |
tyaja kAmaM jaya krodhaM, jahi moham bhavaalayam.h ||


.. iti shrImad.hvAdirAjapUjyacharaNa virachitaM subhAshhitaM sampUrNam.h ..

.. bhAratIramaNa mukhyaprANA.ntargata shrIkR^ishhNArpaNamastu ..

Thanks to Shrisha for the transliteration in the ITRANS format as well as the
translation.


Hari
