Text 26] The Birth of Lord Krsna 239
You are the reservoir of all good fortune. Let me offer my full
surrender unto Your Lordship.

As stated in the Brahma-samhita (5.52):
yac-caksur esa savita sakala-grahénam
raja samasta-sura-mirtir asesa-tejah
yasyajfrayad bhramati sambhrta-kala-cakro

night, every month and every year of time can be calculated according to
the sun’s movements. But the sun is not independent, for it is under
time’s control. Bhramati sambhrta-kdla-cakrah: the sun moves within
the kdla-cakra, the orbit of time. The sun is under the control of time,
and time is controlled by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore
the Lord has no fear of time.

The Lord is addressed here as avyakta-bandhu, or the inaugurator of
the movements of the entire cosmic manifestation. Sometimes the cosmic
manifestation is compared to a potter’s wheel. When a potter’s wheel is
spinning, who has set it in motion? It is the potter, of course, although
sometimes we can see only the motion of the wheel and cannot see the
