Brahmā’s Prayers to Lord Kṛṣṇa (Brahmā-stuti) and the Restoration of Vraja’s Lunch Pastime
समाश्रिता ये पदपल्लवप्लवं महत्पदं पुण्ययशो मुरारे: । भवाम्बुधिर्वत्सपदं परं पदं पदं पदं यद् विपदां न तेषाम् ॥ ५८ ॥
samāśritā ye pada-pallava-plavaṁ mahat-padaṁ puṇya-yaśo murāreḥ bhavāmbudhir vatsa-padaṁ paraṁ padaṁ padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ na teṣām
Für jene, die Zuflucht im Boot der lotosgleichen Füße Murāris nehmen, des heilig Berühmten und Stütze der Schöpfung, wird der Ozean des Saṁsāra wie das Wasser in der Spur eines Kälberhufs. Ihr Ziel ist das param padam, Vaikuṇṭha, wo es kein Leid gibt, nicht der Ort, an dem bei jedem Schritt Gefahr droht.
