In bygone times it once so happened
An extra month came into existence
Considering it impure and unworthy
He was denied proper acceptance
No one performed any auspicious activity
No one showed towards him any sympathy
Being heart broken and utterly disheartened
He went to Lord Vishnu and told his tragedy
Being compassionate and wanting to help
but not being able to find a solution
Lord Vishnu took the month to Goloka
Where he saw Krishna and asked for protection
Hearing the plight of the destitute month
Krishna wiped his tears and blessed him thus
'Henceforth your name shall be Purushottam
and your glories the vaishnavas will discuss'
Imbuing him with his name and powers
Sri Krishna bestowed great favour on him
whosoever performs devotional services
shall achieve great good fortune for him
The devotees therefore are greatly joyous
when this auspicious month comes around
every three years they get this opportunity
to perform services by which Krishna is bound
Chant more, read more, perform more seva
Sing the glories of the Lord with great love
In this way celebrate this month of Purushottam
and be blessed by the Lord from above
