Text 41] Brahma’s Prayers for Creative Energy 379
mercy of the Personality of Godhead Narayana as the embodiment of
material goodness, but such prayers do not satisfy the Lord because He is
not thereby glorified in terms of His actual transcendental qualities. The
pure devotees of the Lord are always most dear to Him, although He is
always kind and merciful to all living entities. Here the word gunamayam
is significant because it indicates the Lord’s possessing transcendental
qualities.

larly; stutv€a—praying; stotrena—by the verses; mam—Me; bhajet—may
worship; tasya—his; asu—very soon; samprasideyam—I{ shall fulfill; sarva—
all; kama—desires; vara-igvarah—the Lord of all benediction.
TRANSLATION
Any human being who prays like Brahma, and who thus worships Me,
shall very soon be benedicted with the fulfillment of all his desires, for I am
the Lord of all benediction.
PURPORT
The prayers offered by Brahma cannot be chanted by anyone who
desires to fulfill his own sense gratification. Such prayérs can be selected
only by a person who wants to satisfy the Lord in His service. The Lord
certainly fulfills all desires in regards to transcendental loving service, but
He cannot, however, fulfill the whims of nondevotees, even when such
casual devetees offer Him the best prayers.
