29Salutation to you, Vasudeva; and salutation to Sankarsana, to Pradyumna, to Aniruddha; to you, the Bhagavan, salutation. 30To Narayana the sage, to the Person, the great self, to the lord of everything, to the everything, to the self of every being: salutation. 31So in Dvapara, lord of the earth, they praise the lord of the world.

Great Person, I bow to your lotus feet. 34You gave up the fortune of a kingdom that is very hard to give up and that the gods long for; firmest in dharma, you went to the forest at a noble word; and you ran after the deer of maya because the one you loved wanted it. Great Person, I bow to your lotus feet.
