“Now listen Pariksita. In due course passed away the spring. [5]. 
Came hot summer, perspiring all men. (But in Brndabana) every day 
the spring breezes blow gently. Spring cannot be rare in the grove 
where (^ri-Rama (Balabhadra) and Madhaba (Krsna) are. The deep 
springs babbling, make murmurs in the river water. The sprays of 
the stream and of the springs mixing, keep cool the woody groves. 
[10]. With the breeze shake the river ripples and the blossoming 
groves. Playfully the wind wafts abroad the (pollen) dusts of the 
flowers in water, the lotuses, the nelnmbiums, and others. Hence this 
Brndabana land with its deep woods and groves hot summer never 
touches ; hence its residents never feel tired. [15]. In the deep river 
water, ripples rise one after another in force; muddy look both its 
banks ; the ripples breaking wash the bathing recesses. Moreover, the 
sun never torments this forest grove, this wood by nature blooming with 
flowers, and resounding with the screams of the many-colonred peacocks, 
with the notes of the cuckoos and the cranes, with the delightful hum 
of the bees. [20].”

“ Salutation to thy feet, oh Lord ! thou, the first cause, the Lord of 
the universe. Thon residest beyond Prakrti (nature), and hence art 
invisible to beings. [70]. The interior and the exterior of all creatures, 
nothing is outside thee. (The ideas of) Atma , i. e., Self and others are 
but so many may a curtains, while in essence the Being remains the 
same. This Being enjoys through the senses ; and puts on (as masks) 
forms like abhaya, and others. How can he know thee, oh Lord! over 
whose mind thine may a (illusion) is ? Just as the master among the natas 
(jugglers) by his juggleries fascinates the lookers-on ; [75] and bringing 
forth various tricks and causing puppets to dance, bewitch®* the minds 
of spectators—but in truth they are nothing (so is it with thee, oh 
Lord!).”
