Brahmā’s Prayers to Lord Kṛṣṇa (Brahmā-stuti) and the Restoration of Vraja’s Lunch Pastime
तदस्तु मे नाथ स भूरिभागो भवेऽत्र वान्यत्र तु वा तिरश्चाम् । येनाहमेकोऽपि भवज्जनानां भूत्वा निषेवे तव पादपल्लवम् ॥ ३० ॥
tad astu me nātha sa bhūri-bhāgo bhave ’tra vānyatra tu vā tiraścām yenāham eko ’pi bhavaj-janānāṁ bhūtvā niṣeve tava pāda-pallavam
Wahai Tuhanku, semoga inilah keberuntungan tertinggiku: dalam kelahiran ini atau kelahiran lain, sebagai manusia atau makhluk lain sekalipun, biarlah aku dihitung sebagai bhakta-Mu dan berkhidmat kepada kaki teratai-Mu dengan bhakti.
