[INDOLOGY] Continuing my Krishna Verses

[Madhav Deshpande]

Continuing my Krishna Verses:

नैककार्यव्यापृतस्त्वं कथं कुर्या ममावनम् ।
मा चिन्तां कुरु गोविन्द रक्षात्मानमतिश्रमात् ।।४५३।।
As you are busy with too many tasks, how will you protect me? O Krishna,
please do not worry. Save yourself from over-exertion.

अतन्द्रितस्त्वं गोविन्द जगच्चक्रप्रवर्तने ।
कुर्वन् कार्याणि जगत: कदा निद्रासि माधव ।।४५४।।
Without dozing off, you engage in turning the wheel of the world. Doing all
the tasks for the world, O Krishna, when do you get to sleep?

जगच्चक्रमिदं मायामात्रमित्युक्तवानसि ।
कथं स्वमायां विस्मृत्य सत्यवत् कुरुषे श्रमम् ।।४५५।।
You yourself said that this whole wheel of the world is just an illusion.
How come you forget that this is an illusion and exert like it is all real?

यदि श्रान्तोऽसि गोविन्द भ्रमन्त्या ते स्वमायया ।
सत्वरं तां संहर त्वं स्वयमेव प्रवर्तिताम् ।।४५६।।
O Krishna, if you are tired with your own roving illusion, then quickly
retract it, since you yourself initiated it.
