Teri sat kos ki parikamma,
Aur chakaleshvar vishram ॥
Your parikrama is seven kos (about 21 kilometres), and devotees rest at Chakleshwar Mahadev.
Tere gale men kantha saj rahyo,
Thori pe hira lal ॥
A necklace adorns your neck and diamonds and rubies shine on your chin.
Tere kanan kundal chamak rahyo,
Teri jhanki bani vishal ॥
Earrings shine in your ears and your jhanki is grandly decorated.
Giriraj dharan prabhu teri sharan,
Karo bhakt ka bera par ॥
O Lord Shri Krishna, holder of Giriraj, we are in your shelter — carry your devotees across.
The paath of Shri Govardhan Maharaj — Govardhan aarti is complete.
