GENESIS OF THE BHAGAVATA
 
यत् किञ्च लोके भगवन्महस्व-

दोजस्सहस्वदूद्बलवत् क्षमावत् ।

श्रीही ह्रीविभूत्यात्मवदद्वभूतार्ण
णं
तत्त्वं परं रूपवद्दस्वरूपम् ॥
 
SL
 

"Whatever in this universe is endowed

with superior powers, is effulgent, virile,

capable of suffering, strong, and patient;

whatever is endowed with beauty; what-

ever is endowed with a sense of shame at

doing wrong; whatever is endowed with

prosperity and self-possession; whatever

is wonderfully resplendent, whatever has

a fine form, whatever is subtle,-(all this)

is that Great Principle.
 

 
प्राधान्यतो यान् ऋॠषय आमनन्ति

लीलावतारान् पुरुषस्य भूम्नः ।

आपीयतां कर्णकषायशोषा-

ननुक्रमिष्ये त इमान् सुपेशान् ॥
 

"These sportful incarnations of that

boundless Spirit which the sages consider

as the chief ones, which purify the ears

of those that ardently listen to them and

which are most beautiful, I shall relate.
