Chapter 6: Verse 21-30

ENGLISH TRANSLATION 21. ...the demigods, filled with wonder, gazed. Then, all their desires fulfilled, the demigods offered prayers to Lord Krsna and Goddess Radha. 22.Sri Brahma said: O Lord, may the bumblebee of my mind always lovingly stay at the lotus flower of Your feet. Please give me the medicine that brings peace. Please save me from the fever of repeated birth and death. Please give me steady and mature devotional service to You. 23.Sri Siva said: I am drowning in the ocean of birth and death. The fish of my mind is trapped in the horrible and narrow well of repeated birth and death. O Lord, please rescue me from this horrible world of birth and death and give me loving devotion for Your lotus feet. 24.Sri Yamaraja said: O my Lord, may I have the association of Your devotees. Association with them is a sharp sword that cuts the bonds of repeated birth and death. Association with them is the only way to attain a place at Your lotus feet. Please give me devotional service to Your lotus feet birth after birth. 25.Sri Narayana Rsi said: After speaking these prayers the demigods, their heart’s desires fulfilled, respectfully stood before Lord Krsna. Sri Radha’s husband, who fulfils the desires of His devotees. 26.After listening to the demigods’ prayers, Lord Krsna, who is an ocean of mercy, and whose lotus face had blossomed with a smile, spoke the following auspicious and truthful words. 27.Sri Krsna said: Please come to My palace. I am always eager to ask about the welfare of they who take shelter of Me. 28.Please be free of all troubles. How could you be troubled while I am here? 29.I am present in everyone’s heart. I appear before they who offer prayers to Me. I know everything about why you have come. 30.In time, auspicious and inauspicious deeds will bear results. O demigods, all actions, great and small, bear results by the power of time.
