+O lord,
-Oh Demon-Slayer,{{#tag:ref|Murá (মুরা) was a general of King Narakasura, who attacked Dvaraka, the capital of Krśńa's kingdom. According to legend, on the day before Diipavali (the new-moon day of the month of Karttik, roughly mid-October to mid-November), Krśńa's wife, Satyabhámá, defeated and killed Narakasura. However, Krśńa is credited with the earlier slaying of Narakasura's general, Murá. Hence, Krśńa is sometimes referred to as Murári (মুরারি). According to mythology, both Narakasura and Murá were demons. So, ''murári'' may be loosely translated as "slayer of demons".|group="nb"}} please do come again.

-In markets of cosmetics on the banks of Jamuna,

+on the path of gokul,
+the milkmaids have kept their face covered
+to think about you only.
