Vasudeva sutam devam
Kamsa-Chanoora mardanam
Devaki parama-anandam
Krishnam vande Jagatgurum
I do vandana (glorification) of Lord Krishna, the resplendent son of Vasudev, who killed the great tormentors like Kamsa and Chanoora, who is a source of greatest joy to Devaki, and who is indeed a world teacher.

Kasturi Tilakam - Slokam
kasturi tilakam lalaata palake,
vakshasthale kaustubham, nasaagre navamouktikam
karatale venum, kare kankanam
sarvaange harichandanam cha kalayam, kanthe cha muktaavali
gopastree pariveshtitho, vijayate gopaala choodamanee
vijayate gopaala choodamanee
Meaning of this slokam:
Oh Sri Krishna ! You have been decorated with Kasturi Tilakam, a beautiful Namam on the smooth forehead;
You have an ornament of Kausthubham on your Vakshasthalam, the seat of Sri Maha Lakshmi (on the chest);
On the nose, You have nava mouktikam, another ornament;
On your fingertips, You have a Flute; You also have a Bracelet on Your wrist;
Your entire body is bedecked with sandawood paste giving out fragrance;
Your neck too is surrounded by another ornament;
You are the giver of Mukti (salvation) to the lady-cowherds who went rounds and rounds around You;
Oh that Lord, Victory to You -The Ornament to the ornaments of cowherd (meaning, the commonest of the common man too has his wealth in Him) !
