Simple Translation
280. Our highest lord with red eyes and strong shoulders
a lion among the gods, who was born to Devaki as a child
plays his flute, listen to the plight of the Gandharvas wandering
in the sky,
Fascinated by the nectar-like music, they say, “He, the highest,
is playing the flute, ”
and feeling ashamed that they can’t play like him,
they stand, join their hands and worship him.
