Listen, as the glory of the Supreme is revealed in a wondrous tapestry of forms and attributes. He is that One who can be grasped by the intellect and apprehended by the mind. He is Śārṅgapāṇi, the wielder of the bow, Kṛṣṇa himself, the embodiment of all knowledge and the scorcher of foes. He alone is the knowable, yet beyond all that is knowable, and he is knowledge itself in the pure form of consciousness. He is Govinda, the protector of cows, the gentle cowherd, and the giver of happiness to all the gopīs. As Upendra, as Nṛsiṃha, as Śauri, and as Janārdana, he manifests in many divine forms. He is Dāmodara, knower of the past, present, and future, the master of time and yet beyond time itself. He is Vikrama, the valorous one, the holder of the staff—whether single or triple-staffed, he is the very embodiment of discipline and power. He is the Sāma Veda and the Atharva Veda, the doer of good, and his form is ever excellent. He is the very essence of the Ṛg, the Ṛg Veda, and is firmly established in the Ṛg Vedas. His feet are countless and beautiful—a thousand feet that touch all realms. He is the renunciant, renunciation itself, and the fourfold order of life. He is present as the Brāhmaṇa, the Kṣatriya, the Vaiśya, and the Śūdra; all castes are his forms. He is liberation, the inner self that pervades all, praise itself, the one who praises, and the worshipper. He is the knower, the science of grammar, the sentence, and the one who understands all sentences. He is the essence of all sacred places, the embodiment of Sāṃkhya wisdom, and the Nirukta that reveals the meaning of the gods. He is indicated by the sacred syllable Om and by the Gāyatrī mantra; he is Gadādhara, the wielder of the mace. He lies upon the waters, upon yoga, upon the great serpent Śeṣa, and upon kuśa grass. He is Prajāpati, the lord of creatures, eternal, the most desirable, the fulfiller of desires, and Virāṭ, the cosmic form. He is wealthy, the bestower of wealth, ever-blessed, and devoted to the welfare of the Yādavas. He is valor itself, unconquerable, and expert in all the scriptures. He is the giver of nectar, the ocean of milk, and the milk itself. He is the destroyer of Kaṃsa, the slayer of the elephant, and the vanquisher of all elephants. He is Mudra, the master of mudras, and yet beyond all mudras. He is the ear, the controller of the ear, that which is to be heard, and hearing itself. He is the seer of forms, abiding in the eye, and the controller of vision. He dwells in the nose, creates the sense of smell, perceives all scents, and governs the faculty of smell. He abides in the vital breath, creates the arts, is the source of all craftsmanship, and is the controller of the hands. He is the controller of the feet, the recipient of all that is offered to the feet, and the producer of excretion. He is the controller of the generative organ and the giver of its delight. He is the benefactor of Alarka and the destroyer of Kārtavīrya. He is the giver of food, food itself, the eater of food, and the initiator of all food. He is the joy of Devakī and Nanda, and the beloved of Rohiṇī. He is Dundubhi, the sound of laughter, and the blossoming of flowers. He is Acyuta, the infallible one, the Lord of Truth, and the beloved consort of Satyā. He is the beloved of the cowherd women, renowned for his virtuous fame. He is Rāhu, Ketu, the graha, the seizer, and the one with the face of the lord of elephants. He is a Kinnara, a Siddha, the meter of sacred hymns, and ever acts according to his own will. He is of infinite forms, abiding among all beings, present among gods and demons alike. He dwells in the world, is ever wakeful, and is both the place and the state of wakefulness. Yet, he is also beyond waking, dreaming, and deep sleep—he is known as the fourth state, the pure consciousness that encompasses all. Thus, the Supreme is revealed in countless ways, pervading all that is seen and unseen, the one to be adored by all.
