Obeisance to you the destroyer of Rāvaṇa and the lord of Sītā. Obeisance to you of hidden knowledge; to Kṛṣṇa the great Ātman; the sportive paramour of Rādhā; Obeisance to him of diverse divine sports. Obeisance to the preceptor of Yoga; Obeisance to you, O lord of Lakṣmī, of the form of Jaina and Bauddha; to you of hidden body and features and the censurer of the Vedas (vedanindākara). [...]”.
