kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa mahā-bhāga
tvan-nāthaṁ gokulaṁ prabho
trātum arhasi devān naḥ
kupitād bhakta-vatsala
kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa - O Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa; mahā-bhaga - O all-fortunate one; tvat-nātham - whose master is Yourself; go-kulam - the community of cows; prabho - O Lord; trātum arhasi - kindly protect; devāt - from the demigod Indra; naḥ - us; kupitāt - who is angry; bhakta-vatsala - O You who are very affectionate to Your devotees.
[The cowherd men and women addressed the Lord:] Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa, O most fortunate one, please deliver the cows from the wrath of Indra! O Lord, You are so affectionate to Your devotees. Please save us also.
At the time of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s birth, Garga Muni had predicted, anena sarva-durgāṇi yūyam añjas tariṣyathā (Bhāg. 10.8.16): “By His grace you will easily cross beyond all difficulties.” The residents of Vṛndāvana were confident that in such a great emergency Lord Śrī Nārāyaṇa would empower Kṛṣṇa to protect them. They accepted Kṛṣṇa as everything, and Kṛṣṇa reciprocated their love.
