सर्वेषामादिभूतर्स्त्वं सर्वः सर्वेश्वरस्तथा । सर्वपाता च संहर्ता सृष्टिरूप नo
You are the primal being of all, you are everything, and likewise the Lord of all; you are the support of all, the destroyer, and the very form of creation.
त्वत्पादपद्मरजसा धन्या पूता वसुंधरा । शून्यरूपा त्वयि गते हे नाथ परमं पदम्
By the dust of your lotus feet, the earth is blessed and purified; when you depart, O Lord, she becomes empty, having attained the supreme state.

That matchless lotus foot, which is attained after long austerity and is exceedingly rare even for perfected beings, is now visible to all living beings.
अनन्त उवाच त्वमनन्तो हि भगवन्नाहमेव कलांशकः । विश्वैकस्थे क्षुद्रकूर्मे मशकोऽहं गजे यथा
Ananta said: You are truly infinite, O Lord, not I; I am but a small portion of your power. In the one universe, I am like a tiny insect on an elephant.

O Lord, you go to Goloka, having purified the earth; leaving her masterless, weeping, and submerged in an ocean of sorrow.
देवा ऊचुः वेदाःस्तोतुं न शक्ता यं ब्रह्मेशानादयस्तथा । तमेव स्तवनं किं वा वयं कुर्मो नमोऽस्तु ते
The gods said: The Vedas, as well as Brahma, Shiva, and others, are unable to praise you; so what praise can we offer? Salutations to you.
इत्येवमुक्त्वा देवास्ते प्रययुर्द्वारकां पुरीम् । तत्रस्थं भगवन्तं च द्रष्टुं शीघ्रं मुदाऽन्विताः
Having spoken thus, the gods departed for the city of Dvaraka, eager and joyful to see the Lord who was present there.
अथ तेषां च गोपाला ययुर्गोलोकमुत्तमम् । पृथिवी कम्पिता भीता चलन्तः सप्तसागराः

Seeing the Supreme Lord standing at the foot of the kadamba tree, the gods, beginning with Brahma, bowed down to Him with devotion.
