Octet about  the Lord of the Universe, Jagannatha Ashtakam

 

kadacit kalindi-tata-vipina-sangitaka-ravo
mudabhiri-nari-vadana-kamalasvada-madhupaha
rama-shambhu-brahmamara-pati-ganesharcita-pado
jagannathah svami nayana-patha-gami bhavatu me

 

May the Lord of the Universe, Jagat Natha,

Be the object of my vision.

Who makes a loud concert with His Flute

In groves on Yamuna's banks.
