VIII. 
In the next song, faith in God is shown as the one boat in which the 
troubled Sea of Existence can be crossed. A Gopi is represented as ask¬ 
ing Krishna to ferry her across the Yamuna.

Translation 8. 
1. 0 Hari, my mind is much distraught. How much anxiety, 
which is thy sport, am I to bear ? 
2. The water of this Yamuna is nowhere fordable, take this neck¬ 
lace (as a fee) and pass over with me. 
3. All round the clouds are raining heavy drops. What, 0 my 
companion, can I do ? There is doubt if even (I shall keep my) life. 
4. The boat is full of holes, and the oars are broken. How shall 
I pass over this sea of existence ? 
5. All my companions have sat down hopeless, for without a manf 
a woman dare not mount the path. Kandipati saith, the waves (appear) 
impassable, and in the midst of the stream the boat is moving to and fro. 
IX. 
Mod Xaratan. 
The following Hymn illustrates the utter abandonment of the soul 
to God and God’s love for the individual soul, as illustrated by Krish¬ 
na’s love for Kadha.
