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
Para sa mga tumanggap sa bangka ng mga talampakang-lotus ng Panginoon—si Murāri na may banal na katanyagan at kanlungan ng sansinukob—ang dagat ng saṁsāra ay nagiging parang tubig sa bakas ng kuko ng guya. Ang kanilang hantungan ay param padam, Vaikuṇṭha, lugar na walang pagdurusa; hindi yaong may panganib sa bawat hakbang.
