Brahma-samhita (30, 32)
(sung during the Greeting of the Deities)
venum kvanantam aravinda-dalayataksham
barhavatamsam asitambuda-sundarangam
kandarpa-koti-kamaniya-vishesha-shobham
govindam adi-purusham tam aham bhajami
angani yasya sakalendriya-vrittimanti
pasyanti panti kalayanti ciram jaganti
ananda-cin-maya-sad-ujjvala-vigrahasya
govinda adi-purusham tam aham bhajami
I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is adept in
playing on His flute, with blooming eyes like lotus-petals, with head
bedecked with peacock's feathers, with the figure of beauty tinged with
the hue of blue clouds, and His unique loveliness charming millions of
Cupids.
I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, whose transcendental
form is full of bliss, truth, and substantiality and is thus full of the
most dazzling splendour. Each of the limbs of that transcendental figure possesses
in Himself the full-fledged functions of all the organs, and
eternally sees, maintains and manifests the infinite universes, both
spiritual and mundane.
