Text 10] Mohini-marti Bewilders Lord Siva 113

bahiinarh janmandm ante
Jiidnavan mam prapadyate
vasudevah sarvam iti
sa mahatma sudurlabhah

“After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surren-
ders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is.
Such a great soul is very rare.” (Bg. 7.19) Only those who have surren-
dered to the lotus feet of Vasudeva can understand the Absolute Truth.

vasudeve bhagavati
bhakti-yogah prayojitah

Janayaty dsu vairdgyam
Jfianam ca yad ahaitukam

“By rendering devotional service unto the Personality of Godhead, Sri
Krsna, one immediately acquires causeless knowledge and detachment
from the world.” (Bhdg. 1.2.7) Therefore, Vasudeva, Bhagavan Sri
Krsna, personally teaches in Bhagavad-gita:

sarva-dharma4n parityajya
mam ekam Saranam vraja

“Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me.”

(Bg. 18.66)
bhaktya mam abhianati
yavdn yas cdsmi tattvatah

“One can understand the Supreme Personality as He is only by devo-
tional service.” (Bg. 18.55) The Supreme Personality of Godhead is not
properly understood even by Lord Siva or Lord Brahma, what to speak of
others, but He can be understood by the process of bhakti-yoga.

mayy asakta-manah partha
yogam yuijan mad-dsrayah
asamsayam samagram mam
yatha jnasyasi tac chrnu
(Bg. 7.1)
