नम: कृष्णाय रामाय वसुदेवसुताय च । प्रद्युम्नायानिरुद्धाय सात्वतां पतये नम: ॥ ४५ ॥
namaḥ kṛṣṇāya rāmāya vasudeva-sutāya ca pradyumnāyāniruddhāya sātvatāṁ pataye namaḥ
我们顶礼于主奎师那与主罗摩——瓦苏德瓦之子——亦顶礼于普拉迪尤姆那与阿尼鲁达。我们恭敬礼拜那位萨特瓦塔(毗湿奴圣 भक्त)之主。
It is a prayer of surrender offering obeisances to the Supreme Lord as Kṛṣṇa, as Rāma (Balarāma), and specifically as the son of Vasudeva—acknowledging His personal, approachable form and divine identity.
While pleading for mercy, they praise the Lord in His well-known divine expansions—Pradyumna and Aniruddha—recognizing Kṛṣṇa as the supreme master worshiped by devotees in many manifestations.
By cultivating humility and remembrance of the Lord through respectful obeisances, chanting His names, and recognizing that sincere praise and surrender invite divine mercy even in difficult situations.
