Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 1, Ch. 11]
PURPORT
The all-good Personality of Godhead, being the creator of the universe, also plans for the good of all good living beings. The good living beings are advised by the Lord to follow His good advice, and by doing so they become successful in all spheres of life. There is no need to worship any deity but the Lord. The Lord is all-powerful, and if He is satisfied by our obedience unto His lotus feet, He is competent to bestow upon us all kinds of blessings for the successful execution of both our material and spiritual lives. For attaining spiritual existence, the human form is a chance for all to understand our eternal relation with God. Our relation with Him is eternal; it can neither be broken nor vanquished. It may be forgotten for the time being, but it can be revived also by the grace of the Lord, if we follow His injunctions, which are revealed in the scriptures of all times and all places.
TEXT 8
अहो सनाथा भवता स यद्वयं 
  त्रैविष्टपानामपि दूरदर्शनम् । 
  प्रेमसितस्निग्धनिरीक्षणाननं 
  पश्येम रूपं तव सर्वसौभगम् ॥ ८ ॥
aho sanāthā bhavatā sma yad vayam 
  traiviṣṭa-pānām api dūra-darśanam 
  prema-smita-snigdha-nirīkṣaṇānanam 
  paśyema rūpam tava sarva-saubhagam
aho—oh, it is our good luck; su-nāthāḥ—to be under the protection of the master; bhavatā—by Your good self; sma—as we have become; yat vayam—as we are; traiviṣṭapānām—of the demigods; api—also; dūradarśanam—very rarely seen; prema-smita—smiling with love; snigdha—affectionate; nirīkṣaṇa-ānanam—face looking in that mode; paśyema—looking upon You; rūpam—beauty; tava—Your; sarva—all; saubhagam—auspiciousness.
TRANSLATION
Oh, it is our good luck that we have come again today under Your protection by Your presence, for Your Lordship rarely visits even the denizens of heaven. Now it is possible for us to look into Your smiling face, which is full of affectionate glances. We can now see Your transcendental form, full of all auspiciousness.
