Chapter 13: Verse 71-80

ENGLISH TRANSLATION 71.Even if they have the power to count the grains of dust on the earth, the great scientists and philosophers will never have the power to count all the glories of Lord Krsna’s name. 72.From Lord Siva’s mouth I heard the glories of Lord Krsna’s name. My guru knows only a little of Lord Krsna’s qualities, names and powers. 73.Brahma, Sesa, Yamaraja, the demigods, and the sages, manus, Vedas, saints and human beings cannot understand even one sixteenth of the glory of Lord Krsna’s name. 74.O Nanda, as far as I am able to understand, as far as I have understood, and as far as I have heard from my guru’s mouth, I have described the glories of your son. 75.Your son is all-attractive (krsna), dressed in yellow garments (pitambara), the killer of Kamsa (kamsa-dhvamsi), famous (vistara-srava), the son of Devaki (devaki-nandana), the husband of the goddess of fortune (srisa), the son of Yasoda (yasoda-nandana), the Lord who takes away all troubles (hari). 76.He is eternal (sanatana), infallible (acyuta), all-pervading (visnu and sarva-gati), the master of all (sarvesa), the Lord who appears in many forms (sarva-rupa-dhrk) the resting place of everything (sarvadhara), and the cause of all causes (sarva-karana-karana). 77.He is Radha’s friend (radha-bandhu), the person who stays in Radha’s heart (radhikatma), Radha’s life (radhika-jivana), Radha’s companion (radhika-sahacari), and the person that floods the manasa lake of Radha’s thoughts (radha-manasa-puraka). 78.He is Radha’s wealth (radha-dhana), Radha’s limbs (radhikanga), He whose heart is attached to Radha (radhikasakta-manasa), Radha’s life (radha-prana), Radha’s master (radhikesa), and Radha’s lover (radhika-ramana). 79.He is the thief of Radha’s heart (radha-citta-caura), the person for whom Radha is more dear than life (radha-pranadhika), the supreme master (prabhu), the Supreme Personality of Godhead (paripurnatamam brahma), the pleasure of the cows, land and senses (govinda), the person whose flag is marked with the insignia of Garuda (garuda-dhvaja). 80.O Nanda, please listen to these names, which stop the repetition of birth and death. Keep these names always in your pure heart.
