tejāṁsy astrāyudhāni ca
grastāni yena naḥ kṛṣṇa
tejāṁsy astrāyudhāni ca
Therefore, O Lord, O Kṛṣṇa! Please annihilate this dangerous demon Vṛtrāsura, who has swallowed the three worlds! He has destroyed all our weapons and our strength.
“Sometimes the Lord awards bhakti because to the excellent portrayal of pure bhakti in the verses of praise. If that happens to us, trembling with tears of prema, we will wander about the earth indifferent to the happiness of Svarga. Our enemies will then enter into Amarāvatī.” Fearing this, the devatās clearly express their desire without hiding anything.

haṁsāya dahra-nilayāya nirīkṣakāya
kṛṣṇāya mṛṣṭa-yaśase nirupakramāya
sat-saṅgrahāya bhava-pāntha-nijāśramāptāv
ante parīṣṭa-gataye haraye namas te
We offer respects to the swan-like Lord who extracts the essence, whose abode is the lake in the heart, who sees all our desires there, who has fame for delivering us, who does so without effort, who accepts devotees only, who enables those treading the path of saṁsāra to attain eternal bliss, and who, at end of saṁsāra, awards all desired goals.
We fall at your feet. Quickly kill him! They pray to the form of Kṛṣṇa, out of confusion, expressing all their desires. The swan considers what is valuable and what is not, and extracts what is valuable. You reside in the lake within our hearts, and can see (nirīkṣakāya) the desire present in our hearts. The worlds sing of your spotless fame of delivering us from great danger (mrṣta-yaśāse). You can accomplish what we request without effort (nirupakramāya). You accept devotees (sat-saṁgrahāya), even if it takes effort, but you accept nothing else. namo 'kiñcana-vittāya: obeisances are unto you, who are the property of the materially impoverished. (SB 1.98.27) You cause the attainment of the shelter for the jīvas, you are the bliss for the jīvas on the path of saṁsāra after they cross ignorance, even though those jīvas are devoid of pure bhakti, like us. You award desired goals in all ways (pari iṣṭa-gataye), such as ṣayujya, sālokya, or dāsya-prema.
