Sri Brahma’s Prayers to Lord Krsna

Chapter 5: Verse 111-120

ENGLISH TRANSLATION 111.Maha-Visnu, who manifests the material universes, one by one, from His bodily pores, is but a sixteenth part of You, O Lord. 112.The impersonalist yogis meditate on Your form of light, the object of their desires. The devotees do not. Instead, they serve Your lotus feet. 113.O Lord, please unravel to us Your handsome, charming, youthful form, the form described in the mantras we chant, the form on which we meditate,... 114. ...a form dark as a monsoon cloud, dressed in yellow garments, transcendental, manifesting two arms, a flute in hand, gracefully smiling, handsome,... 115. ...decorated with a peacock feather crown and a network of malati flowers, anointed with sandal, aguru, musk and kunkuma,... 116. ...decorated with beautiful ornaments made of priceless jewels, splendid with a crown made of priceless jewels,... 117. ...the moon of its face robbing the blooming autumn-lotuses of their splendour, its lips splendid like ripe bimba fruits,... 118. ...and its handsome teeth like ripe pomegranate seeds, a form sitting under a pastime kadamba tree, a form yearning to taste the nectar of the rasa dance,... 119. ...a form that smiled as it glanced at the gopis’ faces, a form that rested on Sri Radha’s breast, a form that yearns to taste the nectar of transcendental pastimes. O Lord, we yearn to see this form of Yours. 120.After speaking these words, Brahma bowed down again and again. Then Siva and Yamaraja also recited this same prayer.
