Sri Krishna, who is known as Kana, is Yasoda's darling son, Vraja's paramour,
Gokula's delight, the gopis' life and wealth, the enchanter of Cupid, and the
conqueror of Kaliya.
amala hari-nama amiya-vilasa |
vipina-purandara | navina nagara-vara |

His Names and nectarean Pastimes are all transcendental. He is the king of
Vraja's forests and the best of young paramours. He beautifully plays the
flute.

nanda-godhana-rakhoyala |
govinda madhava | navanita-taskara |
sundara nanda-gopala [3] |
He is the guardian of Vraja's residents, the destroyer of the demons, and the
keeper of Nanda's cows. He is known as 'Govinda'—He who nourishes the cows,
senses, Vedas, and world—and 'Madhava'—Sri Radha's consort. He is Nanda's
beautiful cowherd boy and a butter thief.
yamuna-tata-chara | gopi-vasana-hara |
rasa-rasika krpamaya |
sri-radha-vallabha | vrndavana-nata-vara |

He is a spy on the Yamuna's banks and the stealer of the gopis' garments. He
is the relisher of the rasa-lila and the embodiment of mercy. He is Sri
Radha's beloved, Vrndavan's great dancer, and Bhakti Vinod's shelter.
