TRANSLATION

Even though in the body of a deer, Maharaja Bharata did not
forget the Supreme Personality of Godhead; therefore when he
was giving up the body of a deer, he loudly uttered the following
prayer: ‘“‘The Supreme Personality of Godhead is sacrifice per-
sonified. He gives the results of ritualistic activity. He is the pro-
tector of religious systems, the personification of mystic yoga, the
source of all knowledge, the controller of the entire creation, and
the Supersoul in every living entity. He is beautiful and attractive.
I am quitting this body offering obeisances unto Him and hoping
that I may perpetually engage in His transcendental loving ser-
vice.”” Uttering this, Maharaja Bharata left his body.
