TRANSLATION
My Lord, You are the Supreme Brahman, complete in every-
thing. Being completely spiritual, You are eternal, free from the
material modes of nature, and full of transcendental bliss. Indeed,
for You there is no question of lamentation. Since You are the
supreme cause, the cause of all causes, nothing can exist without
You. Yet we are different from You in a relationship of cause and
effect, for in one sense the cause and effect are different. You are
the original cause of creation, manifestation and annihilation, and
You bestow benedictions upon all living entities. Everyone
depends upon You for the results of his activities, but You are al-
ways independent.

The Supreme Personality of Godhead says in Bhagavad-gita (9.4):
