Gita Dhyana Slokam 2

The entire content of this mail is from Swami Chidbahavananda's translation of  The Bhagavad Gita, published by Ramakrishna Mission.
Vasudeva sutam devam kamsa chanura mardanam I
devaki paramanandam krsnam vande jagatgurum II

I salute Lord Krishna the world teacher, the son of Vasudeva, the destroyer of Kamsa and Chanura, the supreme bliss of Devaki

Bhishma Drona tata Jayadratha jala Gandhara Nilotpala
Salya Grahavati krpena vahant karnena velakula I
Asvathama Vikarna ghora makara Duryodhanavartini
Sottirna khalu Pandavai Rana nadi Kaivartakah Kesavah II

The battle river whose banks were Bhishma and Drona, whose water was Jayadratha, whose blue-lily was the King Gandhara, whose crocodile was Salya, whose current was Kripa, whose billow was Karna, whose terrible alligators were Asvatthama & Vikarna, whose whirlpool was Duryodhana - even such was crossed over by the Pandavas, with Kesava as the ferry man
