I wish to get the correct lyrics of this beautiful slokam on Lord Krishna. The lyrics I have is incomplete and also may be incorrect. Thanks in advance.

krishno rakshasunou jagathrya guru:
krishnam nama: karyaham
krishnena..................vineetha:
krishnaya thubyam nama:
krishna deva samudditam jagatgeetham
krishnasya dasoham.....................

Thank you KmRasika. For the benefit of views, as ready reference, I post the slokam and its meaning:

Krishno rakshatu no jagat-traya-guruh
krishnam namadhvam sada l
Krishnenakhila-satravo vinihatah
krishnaya tasmai namah ll
Krishnad eva samutthitam jagad idam
krishnasya daso asmy aham l
Krishne tishthati visvam etad akhilam
he krishna rakshasva mam ll

Krishna is the teacher of the three worlds and protects us,
And so without stop bow before Lord Krishna,
Krishna has killed all our enemies in this universe,
Salutations to Krishna,
All the world has come from Krishna,
I am the humble slave of Krishna,
All the world is within Krishna,
Oh Krishna ,protect me for ever.

Hariharan, kmr
This beautiful shloka ( and its equivalent on Rama) are taught in Sanskrit classes after introducing the 8 case endings of nouns, as it has all the 8 cases ( Nominative, Accusative etc).
