I (Shri Vallabh)bow joyfully to Shri Yamunaji,the giver of divine super
natural powers for experiencing the bhagvadleela. Shri Yamunaji is
loaded with the glistening sands emanating from the lotus feet of Murari
Shri Krishna. The water of Shri Yamuna is scented with the perfumes of
blossomed flowers from the forests located on the banks of Shri
Yamuna,such Shri Yamuna is worshipped by gods and demons equally. II1II

“Falling forcefully on Mount Kalinda Shri Yamunaji appers to be crystal
white and looks beautiful with her luxurious flow through cheek like
rocks of mountain. Shri Yamunaji follows a zig-zag path noisily and
while she flows up and down she looks as if sitting on a beautiful swing.
Shri Yamunaji is superior as she enhances our love towards lotus-feet of
Lord Mukund. II2II

Bow down to Shri Yamunaji the fourth beloved of Lord Shri Krishna,who
has come down to earth to sanctify it and on earth she is served by
parrots,peacocks,swans etc. with melodious noises as if served by loving
friends. Shri Yamunaji wears bangles in the form of waves and sand on
them looks like pearls. Shri Yamunaji looks beautiful with hips in the
form of her two banks. II3II
