The Hare Krishna Maha Mantra is a sixteen-name devotional formula using the names Hare, Krishna, and Rama. Valkala shows the now-common Hare Krishna-first order.
The cited Kalisantarana Upanishad prints the Hare Rama line first. Many modern traditions recite the same sixteen names with Hare Krishna first; this page clearly labels that order as a living variant.
The names are invoked devotionally rather than translated as one ordinary sentence. Interpretations of Hare and the theology of the mantra vary across Vaishnava traditions.
