Listen
7 versionsO Acyuta! Although the great Lord Brahmā, in his trance of samādhi, is unable to see even a particle of the effulgence emanating from the tips of the nails of Your lotus feet, still I desire this vision, for I have heard of the wonderful waves of Your mercy.
O Mādhava! Although my devotion for You does not come forth even a tiny bit, because You are the Supreme Lord above all, You are the accomplisher of the impossible.
O Sanātana! Your lotus feet surpass even the nectar of the gods. Finding in this lotus flower of Your feet the essence of sweetness which is endowed with truly wonderful mellows, I pray that today the bee of my mind may eternally reside there.
