“By means of my previously unmanifested
Figure, garb, and nectar—the sound of my flute,
The entire world became completely stupefied
By a profusion of prema.
Let those residents of Vraja remain aside.
Vidhi, Rudra, Śakra,
The siddhas, Śaśī, the devas,
And others moving in the sky,
The cows, the bulls, the calves, and the animals,
The trees, the birds, the shrubs, the creepers, and the grass,
The rivers and the clouds,
The mobile and the stationary,
And the sentient and the non-sentient entities
[All] Became seized by transformations
Springing forth from a stream of prema
And underwent a reversal
From their own respective natures.”
