“O Lord of lords, You are the seer of all creation. You are indeed everyone’s
dearest life. Are You not, therefore, my father, Narayana? ‘Narayana’ refers to one
whose abode is in the water born from Nara [Garbhodakasayi Visnu], and that
Narayana is Your plenary portion. All Your plenary portions are transcendental.
They are absolute and are not creations of maya.”
