Prayers by Akriira 259

Your genitals, and the rains are Your semina.

“My dear Lord, all living entities, including different grades of demigods,
different grades of overlords, kings and other living entities, are supposed
to be resting in You. As part and parcel of the big unit, one cannot know
You by experimental knowledge. One can simply understand Your tran-
scendental existence as the great ocean in which different grades of living
entities are included, or as the fruit kadamba out of which small mosquitoes
come. My dear Lord, whatever eternal forms and incarnations You accept
and which appear in this world are meant for relieving the living entities
from their ignorance, illusion and lamentation. All people, therefore, can
appreciate the incarnations and pastimes of Your Lordship and eternally
glorify Your activities. No one can estimate how many forms and incar-

“Let me therefore offer my respectful obeisances unto the incarnation
of fish, who appeared in devastation, although Your Lordship is the cause

order to kill all the infidel administrators of the world. And let me
offer my respectful obeisances unto You who appeared as Lord Rama
to kill demons like Ravana. You are worshiped by all devotees as the
chief of the Raghu dynasty, Lord Ramacandra. Let me offer my re-
spectful obeisances unto You who appeared as Lord Vasudeva, Lord
Sankarsana, Lord Pradyumna and Lord Aniruddha. Let me offer my
respectful obeisances unto You, who appeared as Lord Buddha in
order to bewilder the atheistic and demoniac. And let me offer my
respectful obeisances unto You, who appeared as Kalki in order to
chastise the so-called royal order degraded to the abominable condition
of the mlecchas, who are below the jurisdiction of Vedic regulative
principles.

“My dear Lord, everyone within this material world is conditioned by
Your illusory energy. Under the impression of false identification and false
