422 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 5, Ch. 25

$ri-ndrada-gosani ‘tumburu’ kari’ sange
se yasa gayena brahma-sthane sloka-vandhe

“Bearing his stringed instrument, the tumburu, on his shoulders, the
great sage Narada Muni always glorifies Lord Ananta. Narada Muni has
composed many transcendental verses in praise of the Lord.”

srsti, sthiti, pralaya, sattvadi yata guna
yanra drsti-pate haya, yaya punah punah

“Simply due to the glance of Lord Ananta, the three material modes of
nature interact and produce creation, maintenance and annihilation.
These modes of nature appear again and again.

advitiya-riipa, satya anddi mahattva
tathapi ‘ananta’ haya, ke bujhe se tattva?

“The Lord is glorified as one without a second and as the supreme truth
who has no beginning. Therefore He is called Anantadeva [unlimited ].
Who can understand Him?

Suddha-sattva-mirti prabhu dharena karundya
ye-vigrahe sabara prakasa sulilaya

“*His form is completely spiritual, and He manifests it only by His mercy.
All the activities in this material world are conducted only in His form.

yanhara taranga sikhi’ sinha mahavali
niya-jana-mano raiye hana kutihali

“He is very powerful and always prepared to please His personal asso-
ciates and devotees.

ye ananta-namera sravana-sarkirtane
ye-te mate kene nahi bole ye-te jane

asesa-janmera bandha chinde sei-ksane
ataeva vaisnava na chade kabhu tane
