ENGLISH TRANSLATION
21.Pärvati and Lakñmi are afraid to offer prayers to You. Sarasvati, the mother of the Vedas, does not know how to offer prayers to You. How can I, plunged in the sins of Kali-yuga and bewildered by the explanations of the Vedas and Vedäìgas, offer prayers to You? 22.-26.I offer my respectful obeisances to the lotus feet, worshiped by Brahmä, Çiva, and Çeña, of You, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who recline on a jewel couch, who are decorated with jewel ornaments, who are Yourself the ornament that decorates Your jewel ornaments, Who rest on Rädhä's breast, whose limbs are anointed with sandal paste, whose lotus face is smiling, who always happily swims in a rising nectar ocean of love, whose crown is decorated with mallikä and malati flowers, whose chest is fragrant with a pärijäta garland, whose hairs stand erect with joy when you hear the humming of bees or the singing of cuckoos, and who enjoy the betelnuts offered by Your beloved. 27.-28.How can I, the wife of a snake, properly glorify You, the indescribable Supreme Personality of Godhead, whom the Vedas have not the power to glorify, before whom the great philosophers become speechless, and who are served by Lakñmi, Sarasvati, Pärvati, Gaìgä, Savitri, the siddhas, and the sages? 29.I offer my respectful obeisances to You, who are not caused by anything, but are the cause of all, who are the master of all, greater than the greatest, self-manifest, present everywhere, and the master of the great and small. 30.O Kåñëa! O Kåñëa! O master of the demigods and demons! O master of Brahmä! O master of Çeña! O master of Prajäpati! O master of the sages! O master of the manus! O master of the moving and unmoving beings! O master of mystic powers! O master of the perfect beings! O master of the modes of nature! Please protect my husband!
