TRANSLATION

Unalloyed devotees, who have no desire other than to serve the
Lord, worship Him in full surrender and always hear and chant
about His activities, which are most wonderful and auspicious.
Thus they always merge in an ocean of transcendental bliss. Such
devotees never ask the Lord for any benediction. I, however, am in
danger. Thus I pray to that Supreme Personality of Godhead, who
is eternally existing, who is invisible, who is the Lord of all great
personalities, such as Brahma, and who is available only by tran-
scendental bhakti-yoga. Being extremely subtle, He is beyond the
reach of my senses and transcendental to all external realization.
He is unlimited, He is the original cause, and He is completely full
in everything. I offer my obeisances unto Him.
