Akrūra’s Journey to Vraja and His Devotional Vision of Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma
तं त्वद्य नूनं महतां गतिं गुरुं त्रैलोक्यकान्तं दृशिमन्महोत्सवम् । रूपं दधानं श्रिय ईप्सितास्पदं द्रक्ष्ये ममासन्नुषस: सुदर्शना: ॥ १४ ॥
taṁ tv adya nūnaṁ mahatāṁ gatiṁ guruṁ trailokya-kāntaṁ dṛśiman-mahotsavam rūpaṁ dadhānaṁ śriya īpsitāspadaṁ drakṣye mamāsann uṣasaḥ su-darśanāḥ
Aujourd’hui, je verrai certainement Celui qui est le but et le maître spirituel des grandes âmes, la beauté des trois mondes et une fête de joie pour les yeux. Sa forme personnelle est l’abri désiré par Śrī Lakṣmī ; désormais, toutes les aurores de ma vie sont devenues propices.
