of all causes, the fundamental cause, the origin of atoms and of material energy, the Supreme Eternal Being, who remains eternally young. From Him all emanates.

Call me back to your eternal kingdom, Lord, as one of your servants (as one of your handmaids), for there lies the ultimate liberation from material existence, of which I have a very bitter experience.

In all the living species where I have had to take birth, constrained by the consequences of my own activities, I have known bitterness in two particular forms; separation from those I loved, and encountering unwanted elements. However, the remedies that I applied to my suffering turned out to be even more dangerous than the ailments themselves. So I am tossed from one point to another, life after life, and I beg you to grant me refuge with You.

O Almighty Lord, You like fire, I bow down to your feet like lotuses and offer You my respectful homage. You who know my past and future actions, guide me on the path that leads to You, and free me from the consequences of my sins, so that my progress meets no obstacle. Help me Lord to always remember You throughout my life, and especially at the moment of death.

I offer my respectful homage to the Sovereign Lord, Krishna, the Master of my senses and the origin of all that is. As the Supreme Master of all physical, mental and intellectual activities, He is the only one to benefit from their fruits. The five sense objects and the eleven senses, among which the mind, are so many partial manifestations of his Person. He provides for the needs of all beings by drawing on his energy, that is, on himself. He is still the cause of the physical and mental prowess of all beings, also not different from his Person. He is for all, the Supreme Bridegroom, and the one who provides for all their needs. All the Vedas [the original holy scriptures] are intended to worship him. Let us offer Him our respectful homage and may He always be favorable towards us, in this life as in the next.

Glory to You Lord, glory to You for eternity.

O Lord, you the Infallible, your hand like the lotus is the source of all blessings, that is why your pure devotees revere it, and you, in your infinite mercy, You lay it on their heads. May You also lay it on mine. You are the Supreme and Absolute Master, and no one can pierce your designs. You automatically grant all the desires of those who revere you with pure love.

I pay respectful homage to Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, who is pure transcendence. It is the origin of all life, of all physical power, of all mental aptitude and of all power of the senses. He is the first to appear among all divine manifestations. I offer my homage to Him again.
