Brahmā's Prayers for Creative Energy
379
mercy of the Personality of Godhead Nārāyaṇa as the embodiment of material goodness, but such prayers do not satisfy the Lord because He is not thereby glorified in terms of His actual transcendental qualities. The pure devotees of the Lord are always most dear to Him, although He is always kind and merciful to all living entities. Here the word  guṇamayam  is significant because it indicates the Lord's possessing transcendental qualities.
TEXT 40
य एतेन पुमान्नित्यं स्तुत्वा स्तोत्रेण मां भजेत् । तस्याशु सम्प्रसीदेयं सर्वकामवरेश्वरः ॥४०॥
ya etena pumān nityam stutvā stotreṇa mām bhajet tasyāśu samprasīdeyam sarva-kāma-vareśvaraḥ
yaḥ —anyone who;  etena —by this;  pumān —human being;  nityam —regularly;  stutvā —praying;  stotreṇa —by the verses;  mām —Me;  bhajet —may worship;  tasya —his;  āśu —very soon;  samprasīdeyam —I shall fulfill;  sarva —all;  kāma —desires;  vara-īśvaraḥ —the Lord of all benediction.
TRANSLATION
Any human being who prays like Brahmā, and who thus worships Me, shall very soon be benedicted with the fulfillment of all his desires, for I am the Lord of all benediction.
PURPORT
The prayers offered by Brahmā cannot be chanted by anyone who desires to fulfill his own sense gratification. Such prayers can be selected only by a person who wants to satisfy the Lord in His service. The Lord certainly fulfills all desires in regards to transcendental loving service, but He cannot, however, fulfill the whims of nondevotees, even when such casual devotees offer Him the best prayers.
