Translation

O my Lord, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, son of Vasudeva, O all-pervading Personality of Godhead, I offer my respectful obeisances unto You. I meditate upon Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa because He is the Absolute Truth and the primeval cause of all causes of the creation, sustenance and destruction of the manifested universes. He is directly and indirectly conscious of all manifestations, and He is independent because there is no other cause beyond Him. It is He only who first imparted the Vedic knowledge unto the heart of Brahmājī, the original living being. By Him even the great sages and demigods are placed into illusion, as one is bewildered by the illusory representations of water seen in fire, or land seen on water. Only because of Him do the material universes, temporarily manifested by the reactions of the three modes of nature, appear factual, although they are unreal. I therefore meditate upon Him, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who is eternally existent in the transcendental abode, which is forever free from the illusory representations of the material world. I meditate upon Him, for He is the Absolute Truth.

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

जिससे इस जगत‍्की सृष्टि, स्थिति और प्रलय होते हैं—क्योंकि वह सभी सद्रूप पदार्थोंमें अनुगत है और असत् पदार्थोंसे पृथक् है; जड नहीं, चेतन है; परतन्त्र नहीं, स्वयंप्रकाश है; जो ब्रह्मा अथवा हिरण्यगर्भ नहीं, प्रत्युत उन्हें अपने संकल्पसे ही जिसने उस वेदज्ञानका दान किया है; जिसके सम्बन्धमें बड़े-बड़े विद्वान् भी मोहित हो जाते हैं; जैसे तेजोमय सूर्यरश्मियोंमें जलका, जलमें स्थलका और स्थलमें जलका भ्रम होता है, वैसे ही जिसमें यह त्रिगुणमयी जाग्रत्-स्वप्न-सुषुप्तिरूपा सृष्टि मिथ्या होनेपर भी अधिष्ठान-सत्तासे सत्यवत् प्रतीत हो रही है, उस अपनी स्वयंप्रकाश ज्योतिसे सर्वदा और सर्वथा माया और मायाकार्यसे पूर्णत: मुक्त रहनेवाले परम सत्यरूप परमात्माका हम ध्यान करते हैं॥ १॥
