Verse 1

¹While he was praising him, Krsna the Bhagavan, having shown his form there in the water, drew it back into himself again, the way an actor takes back a part he has played. ²And he, seeing it gone, came up quickly out of the water, did everything that had to be done, and came back to the chariot full of wonder. ³The lord of the senses asked him: Is it that you have seen something wonderful, on the earth, in the sky, or in the water? That is how we read you. ⁴However many wonders there are here, on the earth or in the sky or in the water, they are in you, whose self is everything. What have I not seen, then, when I am looking at you?

⁵In whom all the wonders are, on earth or in the sky or in the water: while I am looking at you, Brahman, what wonder is there here that I could have seen? ⁶Having said this, Gandini's son drove the chariot on, and brought Rama and Krsna to Mathura as the day was going out.
