govinda prayer (ii)

11

I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord...
who is Syamasundara/dark spledid beauty
Krishna Himself with inconceivable innumerable attributes
whom the pure devotees see in their heart of hearts with the eye of devotion
tinged with the salve of love

12

I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord...
who manifested Himself personally as Krishna
and the different avataras in the world in the forms of Rama, Nrisimha, Vamana, etc.
as His subjective portions

13

I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord...
whose effulgence is the source of the non-differentiated Brahman mentioned in the Upanishads
being differentiated from the infinity of glories of the mundane universe
appears as the indivisible, infinite, limitless, truth

14

I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord...
who is the absolute substantive principle
being the ultimate entity in the form of the support of all existence
whose external potency embodies the threefold mundane qualities: sattva, rajas, and tamas
and diffuses the Vedic knowledge regarding the mundane world

15

I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord...
whose glory ever triumphantly dominates the mundane world by the activity of His own pastimes
being reflected in the mind of recollecting souls as the transcendental entity
of ever-blissful cognitive rasa

16
I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord...

lowest of all realms is Devi-dhama [mundane/material world]
next above it is Mahesa-dhama [abode of Mahesa/Shiva]
above Mahesa-dhama is Hari-dhama [abode of Hari] 
and above them all is located Krishna's own realm named Goloka
Lord Govinda has allotted their respective authorities to the rulers of those graded realms

17
I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord...

the external potency Maya who is of the nature of the shadow of the cit potency
is worshiped by all people as Durga, the creating, preserving and destroying agency
of this mundane world, conducting herself in accordance with Govinda's will 

18
I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord...

just as milk is transformed into curd by the action of acids
but yet the effect curd is neither same as nor different from its cause, viz. milk
so I adore the primeval Lord Govinda of whom the state of Sambhu (Shiva)
is a transformation for the performance of the work of destruction

19
I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord...

the light of one candle being communicated to other candles
although it burns separately in them, is the same in its quality
Govinda exhibits Himself equally in the same mobile manner in His various manifestations

20

I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord...
who assuming His own great subjective form, who bears the name of Sesha
replete with the all-accommodating potency, and reposing in the Causal Ocean
with the infinity of the world in the pores of His hair enjoys creative sleep/yoga-nidra
