I salute Him whom ordinary eyes do not see in spite of their seeing the universe, who although enshrined in every heart is not accessible to the mind of the wise even, in whom exist the grain, milk, rivers and in fact the whole universe, the sustainer of the whole universe, who is the very first Prajâpati, the Lord of all the creation, the Lord of all things, the Lord of all the Devas, who is Kṛiṣhṇa, the ordainer, who is adored both in the Pravṛitti Mârga and Nivṛitti Mârga by one’s own karmas, who is the giver of heavenly joys and emancipation, who drives away all the ills by a mere devotional meditation of Him, by realizing whom the soul is liberated from the cycle of births and deaths the Deva worshipped in the form of sacrifices the One Who is said to be inherent in all the Devas the One from whom the universe emanates, the One in whom the universe ultimately merges, in whose infinite glory the whole universe from Brahmâ downwards is sustained, the Supreme Lord Who sustains the universe in the form of water, by devoting to whom with all heart and soul people cross over all ignorance, Who exercises His influence in the minds of all beings by dancing in forms of dismay, contentment anger, etc, the Great Deva who All the demons have become suddenly void of their glory and look like coals charred in fire. They therefore appear as if visited by Providential calamity. How is this? Are these the symptoms of their approaching death?—2
