The Birth of Lord Krsna

Chapter 7: Verse 51-60

ENGLISH TRANSLATION 51. ...a person learned in chanting mantras, a learned brahmana, his relatives and their frightened wives. 52.When two hours of night had passed the sky became filled with clouds and lightning. 53.Great winds blew. The eight guards fell asleep. In their sleep they became motionless and unconscious as if dead. 54.Then the demigods Brahma, Siva, and Yamaraja came and offered prayers to the Supreme Personality of Godhead in Devaki’s womb. 55.The demigods said: You are the origin of the universes, but You have no origin. You are limitless, immutable, effulgent, sinless, and supremely exalted. You have no material qualities, for Your qualities are all spiritual. You are beyond the three modes of material nature. 56.Out of love for them You show Your transcendental form to the devotees. Your form is not material. You are independent. Your every desire is automatically fulfilled. You are the master of all. You are everything. You are the shelter of all transcendental qualities. 57.You are the origin of happiness and distress. You are the origin of all. You put an end to the demons. You are perfect. You are the shelter of everything. You are always fearless and free from any distress. 58.You are not material. You are not touched by matter. Your actions are not material. Your desires are all fulfilled. You are self-satisfied. You are eternal and free from any imperfection. 59.You are gentle, ferocious, difficult to please, unattainable, the author of the Vedas, the Vedas, the Vedangas, the knower of the Vedas, and the all-powerful Lord. 60.After speaking these words the demigods bowed down again and again. Tears of joy in their eyes, they showered flowers on the Lord.
