Bowing from head to foot

With every inch of my being, I hold you in devotion, Kesava
My darling, I worship from your head down to your feet
With your crown of radiant hair, and your radiant blue body
I worship the garland of heavenly flowers you wear
My darling, I worship from your head down to your feet

With every inch of my being, I hold you in adoration, my lotus-eyed Lord.
My darling, I worship from your head down to your feet.
With your cooling shower of rain, and your fragrant breeze sweetly breathing through your dark curly locks
I worship those ocean-hued lotus-feet of yours
I worship the face of yours, vibrant as the new-risen sun
(With every inch of my being, I hold you in devotion)

With every inch of my being, I hold you in devotion, my swan-voiced Lord.
I worship that noble breast of yours, gleaming with the gem of Kaustubha
I worship that pearl necklace of yours, adorning your handsome shoulders
I worship the golden wristlets you wear in each hand
(With every inch of my being, I hold you in devotion)

With every inch of my being, I hold you in devotion, my Lord, whose bed is the waters of the milky ocean.
I worship those radiant anklets of yours, sparkling with exquisite pearls
I worship those tender, golden feet of yours upon the golden lotus
My dusky one, I worship each foot with my mind
With every inch of my being, I hold you in devotion
Kesava
My darling, I worship from your head down to your feet
