Govindam Adi Purusam
isvarah paramah krsnah

anadir adir govindah

Krsna, who is known as Govinda, is the supreme controller. He has
an eternal, blissful, spiritual body. He is the origin of all. He has
no other origin, for He is the prime cause of all causes.

govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami
I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, the first progenitor, who is
tending cows yielding all desires in abodes built with spiritual gems
and surrounded by millions of purpose trees. He is always served with
great reverence and affection by hundreds and thousands of goddesses
of fortune, or gopis.

barhavatamsam asitambuda-sundarangam
kandarpa-koti-kamaniya-visesa-sobham
govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami
I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is adept at playing on His
flute, whose eyes are blooming like lotus petals, whose head is bedecked
with peacock feathers, whose beauty is tinged with the hue of blue clouds,
and whose unique loveliness charms millions of Cupids.

syamam tri-bhanga-lalitam niyata-prakasam
govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami
I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, round whose neck is swinging
a garland of flowers beautified with the moon-locket, whose two hands
are adorned with the flute and jeweled ornaments, who always revels
in pastimes of love, and whose graceful threefold-bending form of Syamasundara
is eternally manifest.
angani yasya sakalendriya-vrtti-manti
pasyanti panti kalayanti ciram jaganti
ananda-cinmaya-sad-ujjvala-vigrahasya
govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami
I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, whose transcendental form is
full of bliss, truth, and substantiality and is thus full of the most
dazzling splendor. Each of the limbs of that transcendental figure possesses
in itself the full-fledged functions of all the organs, and He eternally
sees, maintains, and manifests the infinite universes, both spiritual
and mundane.
advaitam acyutam anadim ananta-rupam
adyam purana-purusam nava-yauvanam ca
vedesu durlabham adurlabham atma-bhaktau
govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami
I worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Govinda [Krsna], who
is the original person—absolute, infallible, without beginning,
although expanded into unlimited forms, still the same original, the
oldest, and the person always appearing as a fresh youth. Such eternal,
blissful, all-knowing forms of the Lord cannot be understood even by
the best Vedic scholars, but they are always manifest to pure, unalloyed
devotees.
