Adi-tila, Chapter 2 109

mahan prabhur vai purusah
sattvasyaisa pravartakah

sunirmalam imam praptim
sano jyotir avyayah

“The Supreme Personality of Godhead is Mahaprabhu, who disseminates transcen-
dental enlightenment. Just to be in touch with Him is to be in contact with the
indestructible brahmajyoti.”’ (Svet. Up. 3.12)

(3) From the Mundaka Upanisad (3.1.3):

yada pasyah pasyate rukma-varnam
kartaram isam purusam brahma-yonim

“One who sees that golden-colored Personality of Godhead, the Supreme Lord, the
supreme actor, who is the source of the Supreme Brahman, is liberated.”
(4) From Srimad-Bhagavatam:

dhyeyam sada paribhava-ghnam abhista-doham

the distresses of His devotees and satisfies their desires. He, the abode of all holy places
and the shelter of all sages, is worshipable by Lord Siva and Lord Brahmi. He is the
boat of the demigods for crossing the ocean of birth and death.” (Bhdg. 11.5.33)

tyaktva sudustyaja-surepsita-rajya-laksmim

maya-mrgam dayitayepsitam anvadhavad
vande mahd-purusa te caranaravindam

“We offer our respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of the Lord, upon whom one

should always meditate. He left His householder life, leaving aside His eternal

consort, whom even the denizens of heaven adore. He went into the forest to

deliver the fallen souls, who are put into illusion by material energy.” (Bhag. 11.5.34)

lokan vibhavayasi hamsi jagat-pratipan
