By your mercy the people attain residence in Vrindavana, the desire to serve your masters' lotus feet, and the desire to assist in the rasa dance. O Vrinda, I bow to your lotus feet.

tavaiva murtis tulasi nri-loke

vrinde namas te caranaravindam

 

 

 

They who are learned in the Satvata-tantra glorify you. You are Krishna's pastime-potency. The tulasi plant is your form in the world of men. O Vrinda, I bow to your lotus feet.

 

 

 

 

Text Eight

 

 

 

bhaktya vihina aparadha-laksaih

ksiptas ca kamadi-taranga-madhye

krpamayi tvam saranam prapanna

vrinde namas te caranaravindam

 

 

 

O merciful one, they who have no devotion and they whom millions of offenses have thrown into the waves of lust and other vices take shelter of you. O Vrinda, I bow to your lotus feet.

 

 

 

Text Nine

 

 

 

vrindastakam yah srnuyat pathed va

vrindavanadhisa-padabja-bhrngah

sa prapya vrindavana-nitya-vasam

tat-prema-sevam labhate krtarthah

 

 

 

A person who is like a bumble bee at the lotus feet of Vrindavana's king and queen, and who reads or hears this Vrindastaka, will eternally reside in Vrindavana and attain loving service to the divine couple.

 

---------------------------I have found this prayer on the web. I have two questions: does anybody know where it is from? Does anybody knows some melody for singing it?

 

Thanks.
