Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 9, Ch. 8]
श्रानोपदेशाय
गृहीतदेहं
नमामहे त्वां पुरुषं पुराणम् ॥२४॥
praśānta māyā-guṇa-karma-liṅgam anāma-rūpaṁ sad-asad-vimuktam jñānopadeśāya gṛhīta-dehaṁ namāmahe tvāṁ puruṣaṁ purāṇam
praśānta —O completely peaceful one;  māyā-guṇa —the modes of material nature;  karma-liṅgam —symptomized by fruitive activities;  anāma-rūpaṁ —one who has no material name or form;  sat-asat-vimuktam —transcendental to the manifested and nonmanifested modes of material nature;  jñāna-upadeśāya —for distributing transcendental knowledge (as in  Bhagavad-gītā );  gṛhīta-dehaṁ —has assumed a form like a material body;  namāmahe —I offer my respectful obeisances;  tvāṁ —unto You;  puruṣaṁ —the Supreme Person;  purāṇaṁ —the original.
TRANSLATION
O completely peaceful Lord, although material nature, fruitive activities and their consequent material names and forms are Your creation, You are unaffected by them. Therefore, Your transcendental name is different from material names, and Your form is different from material forms. You assume a form resembling a material body just to give us instructions like those of Bhagavad-gītā, but actually You are the supreme original person. I therefore offer my respectful obeisances unto You.
