Meaning

Vishnu  Stuti - ‘Stuti’ that Vishnu himself recited: 

Vrindaa rupascha vrikshaascha yadaiktra bhavanti cha,

Vidhurbhudaastena Vrindam matpriyaam taam bhajaamyaham/

Puraa babhuva yaa Devi twaadow vrindaavaney vaney,

Tena Vrindaavani khyaataa soybhaagyam taam bhajaamyaham/

Asamkhyeshu cha viseshu pujitaa yaa nirantaram,

Tena Vishwapujitaakhyaam Jagat-pujyaam bhajaamyaham/

Asamkhyaani cha Vishwaani pavitraani yayaa sadaa,

Taam Vishwapaavaneem Deveem virahena smraanyaham/

Devaa na tushtaah pushpaanaam samuhena yaya vinaa,

Taam Pushpa saaraam Shraddhaam cha drashtumicchhaami shokatah/

Vishwey yatpraaptimaatrena bhaktaanando bhaveda dhruvam,

Nandini tena vikhyaataa saa preetaa bhavataabhi mey/

Yasya Devyaastulaa naast Visweshu nikhileshu cha,

Tulasee tena vikhyaataa taam yaami sharanam priyaam/

Krishna jeevana rupaa yaa shaswatpriyatamaa Sati,

Tena Krishna jeevaneeti mama rakkshantu jeevanam/

(When Vrinda tree and another kind of tree look alike, then intelligent persons call the group of trees as Vrinda only! It is that Vrinda who is popular that I pray; my greetings to that auspicious Devi who emerged in ancient times in Brindavana and was called as Brindaavani; I implore that unique tree which is worshipped among innumerable other trees and is called as Vishwa pujita; I greet that universally revered tree in veneration; it is the Pushpasaaraa which is held in high esteem among several other flowers and is meditated by all Devas that I yearn to vision with emotion and anxiety; may Tulasi be kind to me as she is known for spreading happiness around and fulfil one’s desires and that is why her epithet is Nandini. I seek shelter from that Devi whose inherent values are impossible to weigh (tulana) and therefore called Tulasi. It is that Vrinda Swarupa who is considered as Krishna jeevani that protects the life of Shri Krishna!).
