Brahmā’s Prayers to Lord Kṛṣṇa (Brahmā-stuti) and the Restoration of Vraja’s Lunch Pastime
जानन्त एव जानन्तु किं बहूक्त्या न मे प्रभो । मनसो वपुषो वाचो वैभवं तव गोचर: ॥ ३८ ॥
jānanta eva jānantu kiṁ bahūktyā na me prabho manaso vapuṣo vāco vaibhavaṁ tava go-caraḥ
“ကృష్ణအကြောင်း အားလုံးကို ငါသိတယ်” ဟု ပြောသူတို့ကို ထိုသို့ပင် ထင်စေပါစေ။ များများပြော၍ အဘယ်အကျိုး? အို သခင်၊ ကိုယ်တော်၏ ဂုဏ်ဝိభဝသည် ကျွန်ုပ်၏ စိတ်၊ ကိုယ်ခန္ဓာနှင့် စကား၏ လက်လှမ်းမမီရာ—ဤမျှသာ ကျွန်ုပ်ပြောနိုင်သည်။

Adopt humility in spiritual learning: instead of intellectual pride, approach God and scripture with reverence, steady practice, and devotion, recognizing the limits of ego and language.
