fear You —

He scared the snake —

and scared —

and when I fear —

so that You would not be afraid —

granted fearlessness —

to be fearless —

telling not to fear —

Kannan, who has black complexion —

the dark kohl-colored god —

of kajal —

black kohl —

One with dark hued skin —

dark-colored Krishna —

oh beautiful dark One! —

with kohl —

brought kajal —

and kajal —

with the color of a dark cloud —

Oh dark complexioned son! —
