These are different names of Lord Krishna with different attributes – singing and repeating the different Names increases the devotion for God.
કૌન કહેતે હે ભગવાન આતે નહિં,
તુમ મીરાં કે જૈસે બુલાતે નહિં ||2||
અચ્યુતં…
KAUN KEHTE HAIN BHAGWAN AATE NAHI
TUM MEERA KE JAISE BULATE NAHIN.
ACHYUTAM…
Who says God does not arrive? You don’t call her like Meera! (Meera’s love and devotion for Lord Krishna is well-known and also Lord Krishna’s response to the intense loving call)
કૌન કહેતે હે ભગવાન ખાતે નહિં,
બૈર શબરી કે જૈસે ખીલાતે નહિં ||3||
અચ્યુતં…
KAUN KEHTE HAIN BHAGWAN KHAATE NAHI,
BER SHABRI KE JAISE KHILATE NAHIN.
ACHYUTAM..
Who says God does not eat? You just do not feed her like Shabri! (Shabri’s long and loving await for Lord Rama and how Lord Rama accepted her food)
કૌન કહેતે હે ભગવાન સોતે નહિં,
મા યશોદા કે જૈસે સુલાતે નહિં ||4||
અચ્યુતં..
KAUN KEHTE HAIN BHAGWAN SOTE NAHI,
MAA YASHODA KE JAISE SULATE NAHIN
ACHYUTAM…
Who says God does not Sleep? You don’t make him sleep like Yasoda! (It needs total love for Lord Krishna and wanting to give Him rest and sleep)
કૌન કહેતે હે ભગવાન નાચતે નહિં,
ગોપીઓકી તરહ તુમ નચાતે નહિં ||5||
અચ્યુતં…
KAUN KEHTE HAIN BHAGWAN NAACHTE NAHI,
GOPIYAN KI TARAH TUM NACHAATE NAHIN
ACHYUTAM…
Who says God does not dance? You don’t make him dance like the Gopis did. (The love of the Gopis for Lord Krishna is well-known, wherever they went, whatever they did, Krishna was on their heart and mind always)
