I seek this form of yours that is the
sole source of hundreds of incarnations

sole source of hundreds of incarnations
and embodies (within itself) the beings

and their faculties. May you infuse my

mind with the knowledge and the power

with which you, this Lord, friend and

one soul of the universe, make (the

universe) happy, so that I shall create and

yet avoid the stain attending that act."

 
श्रीभगवान्-

'तन्मयाऽऽपादितं ह्यग्रे यन्मां प्रार्थयते भवान् ।

नाऽऽत्माऽवसीदत्यस्मिंस्ते वर्षीयान्मदनुग्रहः ॥

The Lord-

"What you pray of me, I have already

secured for you; your soul shall not be

lost in this (act of creation) of yours; for,

profuse have been my blessings to you.
 

 
'अहमात्माऽऽत्मनां धातः प्रेष्ठस्सन्प्रेयसामपि ।

अतो मयि रतिं कुर्याद्देहादिर्यत्कृते प्रियः ॥
 

"O creator! I am the soul of those

souls for the sake of which bodies and

other objects are dear, being thus the

dearest of even the very dear; therefore,

one should have his love for me.
