Gtmane—unto the Supreme Soul, or the Supersoul; haraye—unto the
Lord, who vanquishes all the miseries of devotees; adbhuta-simhaya —
unto Your wonderful lionlike form as Nrsirmhadeva; brahmane—unto
the Supreme Brahman; parama-dtmane—unto the Supreme Soul.
TRANSLATION
O my Lord, full of six opulences, O Supreme Person! O
Supreme Soul, killer of all miseries! O Supreme Person in the
form of a wonderful lion and man, let me offer my respectful obei-
sances unto You.
PURPORT
In the previous verse Prahlada Maharaja has explained that a devotee
can achieve the platform of bhagavattva, being as good as the Supreme
Person, but this does not mean that the devotee loses his position as a ser-
vant. A pure servant of the Lord, although as opulent as the Lord, is still
meant to offer respectful obeisances to the Lord in service. Prahlada
Maharaja was engaged in pacifying the Lord, and therefore he did not
consider himself equal to the Lord. He defined his position as a servant
and offered respectful obeisances unto the Lord.
