tvayäbhiguptä vicaranti nirbhayä vinäyakänékapa-mürdhasu prabho O Mädhava, Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord of the goddess of fortune, if devotees completely in love with You sometimes fall from the path of devotion, they do not fall like nondevotees, for You still protect them. Thus they fearlessly traverse the heads of their opponents and continue to progress in devotional service. sattvaà viçuddhaà çrayate bhavän sthitau çarériëäà çreya-upäyanaà vapuù veda-kriyä-yoga-tapaù-samädhibhis tavärhaëaà yena janaù saméhate O Lord, during the time of maintenance You manifest several incarnations, all with transcendental bodies, beyond the material modes of nature. When You appear in this way, You bestow all good fortune upon the living entities by teaching them to perform Vedic activities such as ritualistic ceremonies, mystic yoga, austerities, penances, and ultimately samädhi, ecstatic absorption in thoughts of You. Thus You are worshiped by the Vedic principles. sattvaà na ced dhätar idaà nijaà bhaved vijïänam ajïäna-bhidäpamärjanam guëa-prakäçair anuméyate bhavän prakäçate yasya ca yena vä guëaù O Lord, cause of all causes, if Your transcendental body were not beyond the modes of material nature, one could not understand the difference between matter and transcendence. Only by Your presence can one understand the transcendental nature of Your Lordship, who are the controller of material nature. Your transcendental nature is very difficult to understand unless one is influenced by the presence of Your transcendental form. na näma-rüpe guëa-janma-karmabhir nirüpitavye tava tasya säkñiëaù mano-vacobhyäm anumeya-vartmano deva kriyäyäà pratiyanty athäpi hi 279
