Brahmā’s Prayers to Lord Nārāyaṇa and the Lord’s Empowering Instructions for Creation
य एतेन पुमान्नित्यं स्तुत्वा स्तोत्रेण मां भजेत् । तस्याशु सम्प्रसीदेयं सर्वकामवरेश्वर: ॥ ४० ॥
ya etena pumān nityaṁ stutvā stotreṇa māṁ bhajet tasyāśu samprasīdeyaṁ sarva-kāma-vareśvaraḥ
जो मनुष्य इस स्तोत्र से नित्य मेरी स्तुति करके मेरी भक्ति करता है, उस पर मैं शीघ्र प्रसन्न होता हूँ; क्योंकि मैं समस्त वरों का ईश्वर हूँ और उसके सभी काम पूर्ण करता हूँ।
The prayers offered by Brahmā cannot be chanted by anyone who desires to fulfill his own sense gratification. Such prayers can be selected only by a person who wants to satisfy the Lord in His service. The Lord certainly fulfills all desires in regard to transcendental loving service, but He cannot fulfill the whims of nondevotees, even when such casual devotees offer Him the best of prayers.
