§ri-vasudevah uvaca—Sri Vasudeva prayed; viditah asi—now | am
fully conscious of You; bhavan—Your Lordship; sdksat—directly;
purusah—the Supreme Person; prakrteh—to material nature; parah—
transcendental, beyond everything material; kevala-anubhava-adnanda-
svaripah—Your form is sac-cid-dnanda-vigraha, and whoever per-
ceives You becomes transcendentally blissful; sarva-buddhi-drk—the

TRANSLATION

Vasudeva said: My Lord, You are the Supreme Person, beyond
material existence, and You are the Supersoul. Your form can be
perceived by transcendental knowledge, by which You can be
understood as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. I now under-
stand Your position perfectly.

PURPORT

Within Vasudeva’s heart, affection for his son and knowledge of the
Supreme Lord’s transcendental nature both awakened. In the beginning
Vasudeva thought, “Such a beautiful child has been born, but now
Karnsa will come and kill Him.” But when he understood that this was
not an ordinary child but the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he be-
came fearless. Regarding his son as the Supreme Lord, wonderful in
everything, he began offering prayers appropriate for the Supreme Lord.
Completely free from fear of Karnsa’s atrocities, he accepted the child
simultaneously as an object of affection and as an object of worship by
prayers.
