Nanda Maharaj's and the cowherd men's sincere prayers to Uddhava

Before leaving Vrindavan to return back to Mathura, Nanda Maharaj conveys this sincere prayer (SB 10.47.66 & 67) to Uddhava asking for his blessings:

 

manaso vrttayo nah syuh / krishna paadaambujaashrayah

vaaco 'bhidaayineer naamnaam / kaayas tat-prahvanaadishu

 

[Nanda Maharaj and the other Cowherds said:] "May our mental functions always take shelter of Krishna's lotus feet, may our words always chant His names, may our bodies always bow down to Him and serve Him."

 

karmabhir bhraamyamaanaanaam / yatra kvaapishvarecchayaa

mangalaacaritair daanaih / ratir nah krishna ishvare

 

"Wherever we are made to wander about in this world by the Supreme Lord's will, in accordance with the reactions to our fruitive work, may our good work and charity always grant us love for Lord Krishna."
