Text 26] King Citraketu Meets the Lord 107
whose two lotus feet; parama—topmost; parame-sthin—who are situ-
ated in the spiritual planet; namah te—respectful obeisances unto You.
TRANSLATION

O transcendental Lord, who are situated in the topmost planet of
the spiritual world, Your two lotus feet are always massaged by a
multitude of the best devotees with their lotus-bud hands. You are
the Supreme Personality of Godhead, complete in six opulences.
You are the supreme person mentioned in the Purusa-sikta
prayers. You are the most perfect, self-realized master of all mystic
power. Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto You.

PURPORT

It is said that the Absolute Truth is one, but is manifested in different
features as Brahman, Paramatma and Bhagavan. The previous verses de-
scribed the Brahman and Paramatma features of the Absolute Truth.
Now this prayer is offered in bhakti-yoga to the Absolute Supreme Per-
son. The words used in this regard are sakala-satvata-parivrdha. The
word sdtvata means “‘devotees,” and sakala means “‘all together.” The
devotees, who also have lotus feet, serve the lotus feet of the Lord with
their lotus hands. The devotees may sometimes not be competent to serve
the lotus feet of the Lord, and therefore the Lord is addressed as
parama-paramesthin. He is the Supreme Person, yet He is very kind to
the devotees. No one is competent to serve the Lord, but even if a devotee
is not competent, the merciful Lord accepts the humble attempt of the
devotee.
