41.O ocean of mercy, to preserve the Vedas, rescue the brähmaëas and demigods, and give knowledge to a king, You appeared as a fish. 42.To create the material world You appeared as the tortoise that supports Lord Çeña. You are Lord Çeña, who supports the universe on His thousand hoods. 43.You are Daçaratha's son Räma, who, to rescue Sitä, bridged the ocean and killed Rävana. 44.You are Nara-Näräyaëa Åñis, the best of philosophers and renunciants. 45.Now You have personally come in Your original form, the eternal form of Kåñëa, which is the seed of all incarnations. 46.In this, Your original form, You are Yaçodä's very life, Nanda's only joy, the gopis' life's Lord, Rädhä's beloved more dear than life, . . . 47.. . . Vasudeva's son, the destroyer of Devakis' sufferings, born without entering a mother's womb, handsome, glorious, the remover of the earth's burden, . . . 48.. . . an ocean of mercy, and the person who accepted Pütanä as His mother and gave liberation to Baka, Keçi, Pralamba, and to me also. 49.O supremely independent Lord whose desires are all fulfilled, O destroyer of the devotees' fears, O Lord of Rädhä, please be kind to me. Please be kind and give me liberation. 50.O Lord please rescue me from this material world where I have taken birth as an ass. Although I am a fool, I was the son of Your devotee. Please deliver me.
