(1)
ratha haite uli brahmā praṇāma kari

cāri mukuṭa bhūmi loṭhāya tite āńkira jale
kāndite kāndite brahmā sa-karuṇa bale

(15)
tabe nirdaya kena haibe cakra-pāṇi
kāndite kāndite brahmā baila eta bāṇī
TRANSLATION
-
Brahma descended from the chariot, bowed down, and with folded hands offered prayers.
-
His four crowns touching the ground, and tears flowing from his eyes, weeping Brahma sadly spoke the following words.
-
O Lord, O master of Maya, I offer my respectful obeisances unto You. In the blinking of an eye You can create many millions of Brahmas like me.
-
Even though in these three worlds I am called by the name “the unborn one” and by other respectful names, I am blind and foolish, for I could not recognize who You really are.
-
I was born from the lotus flower of Your navel. Therefore I am not truly unborn. It is You who are unborn, for You are Narayana, the goddess of fortune’s husband.
-
You are Narayana, the beginning and end of everything, the creator of all the universes.
-
You are the master of the three modes: goodness, passion, and ignorance. You are Lord Hari, who created my body.
-
Who can describe Your glories? Millions and millions of Brahmas have come from the pores of Your transcendental body.
-
I am one of those many millions of Brahmas. I am a lowly creature with a body the size of seven cubits.
-
With an eye blink You create many millions of Brahmas, and with a glance You again destroy them.
-
You are the creator of the universes. You are the beginning, middle, and end. Are You not Lord Narayana?
-
How many pious deeds must one have performed in past lives to attain the company of Your servants? O Lord, please don’t bewilder me with Your Maya. O Govinda, please hear my words.
-
A child inside the mother’s womb may sometimes kick the mother’s body.
-
Does the kicking infant commit a sin? O Damodara, please hear my words: Many millions of Brahmas reside within Your transcendental body.
-
“O Lord who holds the cakra, why will You not be merciful to me?” Weeping and weeping, Brahma spoke these words.
REMARKS/EXTRA INFORMATION:
This is sung in Raga Lalita.
