Om Namo Bhagavate Tasmai lyrics

oṁ namo bhagavate tasmai yata etac cid-ātmakam puruṣāyādi-bījāya pareśāyābhidhīmahi

om namo bhagavate tasmai yata etac cid-atmakam purusayadi-bijaya paresayabhidhimahi

ओं नमो भगवते तस्मै यत एतच चिदात्मकम पुरुषायादिबीजाय परेशायाभिधीमहि

Gajendra said: I bow to the Supreme Person, Vasudeva [om namo bhagavate vasudevaya]. Because of Him this material body acts due to the presence of spirit, and He is therefore the root cause of everyone. He is worshipable for such exalted persons as Brahma and Shiva, and He has entered the heart of every living being. Let me meditate upon Him. (Srimad-Bhagavatam 8.3.2)

yasminn idaṁ yataś cedaṁ yenedaṁ ya idaṁ svayam yo 'smāt parasmāc ca paras taṁ prapadye svayambhuvam

yasminn idam yatas cedam yenedam ya idam svayam yo 'smat parasmac ca paras tam prapadye svayambhuvam

यस्मिन्न इदं यतश चेदं येनेदं य इदं स्वयम यो ऽस्मात परस्माच च परस तं प्रपद्ये स्वयम्भुवम

The Supreme Godhead is the supreme platform on which everything rests, the ingredient by which everything has been produced, and the person who has created and is the only cause of this cosmic manifestation. Nonetheless, He is different from the cause and the result. I surrender unto Him, the Supreme Lord, who is self-sufficient in everything. (8.3.3)

yaḥ svātmanīdaṁ nija-māyayārpitaṁ kvacid vibhātaṁ kva ca tat tirohitam aviddha-dṛk sākṣy ubhayaṁ tad īkṣate sa ātma-mūlo 'vatu māṁ parāt-paraḥ

yah svatmanidam nija-mayayarpitam kvacid vibhatam kva ca tat tirohitam aviddha-drk saksy ubhayam tad iksate sa atma-mulo 'vatu mam parat-parah

यः स्वात्मनीदं निजमाययार्पितं क्वचिद विभातं क्व च तत तिरोहितम अविद्धदृक साक्ष्य उभयं तद ईक्षते स आत्ममूलो ऽवतु मां परात्परः

The Supreme Lord, by expanding His own energy, keeps this cosmic manifestation visible and again sometimes renders it invisible. He is both the supreme cause and the supreme result, the observer and the witness, in all circumstances. Thus He is transcendental to everything. May that Supreme Personality of Godhead give me protection. (8.3.4)

kālena pañcatvam iteṣu kṛtsnaśo lokeṣu pāleṣu ca sarva-hetuṣu tamas tadāsīd gahanaṁ gabhīraṁ yas tasya pāre 'bhivirājate vibhuḥ

kalena pancatvam itesu krtsnaso lokesu palesu ca sarva-hetusu tamas tadasid gahanam gabhiram yas tasya pare 'bhivirajate vibhuh

कालेन पञ्चत्वम इतेषु कृत्स्नशो लोकेषु पालेषु च सर्वहेतुषु तमस तदासीद गहनं गभीरं यस तस्य पारे ऽभिविराजते विभुः

In due course of time, when all the causative and effective manifestations of the universe, including the planets and their directors and maintainers, are annihilated, there is a situation of dense darkness. Above this darkness, however, is the Supreme Lord, I take shelter of His lotus feet. (8.3.5)

na yasya devā ṛṣayaḥ padaṁ vidur jantuḥ punaḥ ko 'rhati gantum īritum yathā naṭasyākṛtibhir viceṣṭato duratyayānukramaṇaḥ sa māvatu

na yasya deva rsayah padam vidur jantuh punah ko 'rhati gantum iritum yatha natasyakrtibhir vicestato duratyayanukramanah sa mavatu

न यस्य देवा ऋषयः पदं विदुर जन्तुः पुनः को ऽर्हति गन्तुम ईरितुम यथा नटस्याकृतिभिर विचेष्टतो दुरत्ययानुक्रमणः स मावतु

An artist onstage, being covered by attractive dresses and dancing with different movements, is not understood by his audience; similarly, the activities and features of the Supreme Artist cannot be understood even by the demigods or great sages, and certainly not by those who are unintelligent like animals. Neither the demigods and sages nor the unintelligent can understand the features of the Lord, nor can they express in words His actual position. May that Supreme Personality of Godhead give me protection. (8.3.6)

didṛkṣavo yasya padaṁ sumaṅgalaṁ vimukta-saṅgā munayaḥ susādhavaḥ caranty aloka-vratam avraṇaṁ vane bhūtātma-bhūtāḥ suhṛdaḥ sa me gatiḥ

didrksavo yasya padam sumangalam vimukta-sanga munayah susadhavah caranty aloka-vratam avranam vane bhutatma-bhutah suhrdah sa me gatih

दिदृक्षवो यस्य पदं सुमङ्गलं विमुक्तसङ्गा मुनयः सुसाधवः चरन्त्य अलोकव्रतम अव्रणं वने भूतात्मभूताः सुहृदः स मे गतिः

Renunciants and great sages who see all living beings equally, who are friendly to everyone and who flawlessly practice in the forest the vows of brahmacarya [celibate student], vanaprastha [retired] and sannyasa [renunciation] desire to see the all-auspicious lotus feet of the Supreme Lord. May that same Supreme Personality of Godhead be my destination. (8.3.7) 7-8) the Supreme Lord has no material birth, activities, name, form, qualities or faults. To fulfill the purpose for which this material world is created and destroyed, He comes in the form of a human being like Lord Rama or Lord Krishna by His original internal potency. He has immense potency, and in various forms, all free from material contamination, He acts wonderfully. He is therefore the Supreme Brahman. I offer my respects to Him. (8.3.8-9)

नम आत्मप्रदीपाय साक्षिणे परमात्मने नमो गिरां विदूराय मनसश चेतसाम अपि

I bow to the Supreme Lord, the self-effulgent Supersoul, who is the witness in everyone's heart, who enlightens the individual soul and who cannot be reached by exercises of the mind, words or consciousness. (8.3.10)

सत्त्वेन प्रतिलभ्याय नैष्कर्म्येण विपश्चिता नमः कैवल्यनाथाय निर्वाणसुखसंविदे

The Supreme Lord is realized by pure devotees who act in the transcendental existence of bhakti-yoga. He is the bestower of uncontaminated happiness and is the master of the transcendental world. Therefore I offer my respects unto Him. (8.3.11)

namaḥ śāntāya ghorāya mūḍhāya guṇa-dharmiṇe nirviśeṣāya sāmyāya namo jñāna-ghanāya ca

नमः शान्ताय घोराय मूढाय गुणधर्मिणे निर्विशेषाय साम्याय नमो ज्ञानघनाय च

I offer my respectful obeisances to Lord Vasudev, who is all-pervading, to the Lord's fierce form as Lord Nrisimhadeva, to the Lord's form as an animal [Lord Varahadeva], to Lord Dattatreya, who preached impersonalism, to Lord Buddha, and to all the other incarnations. I bow to the Lord, who has no material qualities but who accepts the three qualities of goodness, passion and ignorance within this material world. I also offer my respectful obeisances unto the impersonal Brahman effulgence. (8.3.12)

kṣetra-jñāya namas tubhyaṁ sarvādhyakṣāya sākṣiṇe puruṣāyātma-mūlāya mūla-prakṛtaye namaḥ

क्षेत्रज्ञाय नमस तुभ्यं सर्वाध्यक्षाय साक्षिणे पुरुषायात्ममूलाय मूलप्रकृतये नमः

I beg to offer my respectful obeisances unto You, who are the Supersoul, the superintendent of everything, and the witness of all that occurs. You are the Supreme Person, the origin of material nature and of the total material energy. You are also the owner of the material body. Therefore, You are the supreme complete. I bow to You. (8.3.13)

सर्वेन्द्रियगुणद्रष्ट्रे सर्वप्रत्ययहेतवे असता च्छाययोक्ताय सदाभासाय ते नमः

My Lord, You are the observer of all the objectives of the senses. Without Your mercy, there is no possibility of solving the problem of doubts. The material world is just like a shadow resembling You. Indeed, one accepts this material world as real because it gives a glimpse of Your existence. (8.3.14)

namo namas te 'khila-kāraṇāya niṣkāraṇāyādbhuta-kāraṇāya sarvāgamāmnāya-mahārṇavāya namo 'pavargāya parāyaṇāya

namo namas te 'khila-karanaya niskaranayadbhuta-karanaya sarvagamamnaya-maharnavaya namo 'pavargaya parayanaya

नमो नमस ते ऽखिलकारणाय निष्कारणायाद्भुतकारणाय सर्वागमाम्नायमहार्णवाय नमो ऽपवर्गाय परायणाय

My Lord, You are the cause of all causes, but You Yourself have no causes. Therefore You are the wonderful cause of everything. I bow to You, who are the shelter of the Vedic knowledge contained in the shastras like the Pancharatras and Vedanta-sutra, which are Your representations, and who are the source of the parampara system. Because it is You who can give liberation, You are the only shelter for all transcendentalists. Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto You. (8.3.15)

गुणारणिच्छन्नचिदुष्मपाय तत्क्षोभविस्फूर्जितमानसाय नैष्कर्म्यभावेन विवर्जितागम स्वयंप्रकाशाय नमस करोमि

My Lord, as the fire in arani wood is covered, You and Your unlimited knowledge are covered by the material modes of nature. Your mind, however, is not attentive to the activities of the modes of nature. Those who are advanced in spiritual knowledge are not subject to the regulative principles directed in the Vedic literature. Because such advanced souls are transcendental, You personally appear in their pure minds. Therefore I bow to You. (8.3.16)

Since an animal such as I has surrendered unto You, who are supremely liberated, certainly You will release me from this dangerous position. Indeed, being extremely merciful, You incessantly try to deliver me. By Your partial feature as Paramatma, You are situated in the hearts of all embodied beings. You are celebrated as direct transcendental knowledge, and You are unlimited. I bow to You, the Supreme Lord. (8.3.17)

My Lord, those who are completely freed from material contamination always meditate upon You within the cores of their hearts. You are extremely difficult to attain for those like me who are too attached to mental concoction, home, relatives, friends, money, servants and assistants. You are the Supreme Lord, uncontaminated by the modes of nature. You are the reservoir of all enlightenment, the supreme controller. I therefore offer my respectful obeisances unto You. (8.3.18)

yaṁ dharma-kāmārtha-vimukti-kāmā bhajanta iṣṭāṁ gatim āpnuvanti kiṁ cāśiṣo rāty api deham avyayaṁ karotu me 'dabhra-dayo vimokṣaṇam

यं धर्मकामार्थविमुक्तिकामा भजन्त इष्टां गतिम आप्नुवन्ति किं चाशिषो रात्य अपि देहम अव्ययं करोतु मे ऽदभ्रदयो विमोक्षणम

After worshiping the Supreme Lord, those who are interested in the four principles of religion, economic development, sense gratification and liberation obtain from Him what they desire. What then is to be said of other benedictions? Indeed, sometimes the Lord gives a spiritual body to such ambitious worshipers. May that Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is unlimitedly merciful, bestow upon me the benediction of liberation from this present danger and from the materialistic way of life. (8.3.19) 19-20) 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 the Supreme Lord, who is eternally existing, who is invisible, who is the Lord of all great personalities, such as Brahma, and who is available only by transcendental 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 bow to Him. (8.3.20-21) 21-23)the Supreme Lord creates His minor parts and parcels, the jiva-tattva, beginning with Lord Brahma, the demigods and the expansions of Vedic knowledge [Sama, Rig, Yajur and Atharva Vedas] and including all other living entities, moving and nonmoving, with their different names and characteristics. As the sparks of a fire or the shining rays of the sun emanate from their source and merge into it again and again, the mind, the intelligence, the senses, the gross and subtle material bodies, and the continuous transformations of the different modes of nature all emanate from the Lord and again merge into Him. He is neither demigod nor demon, neither human nor bird nor beast. He is not woman, man or neuter, nor is He an animal. He is not a material quality, a fruitive activity, a manifestation or nonmanifestation. He is the last word in the discrimination of "not this, or not that," and He is unlimited. All glories to the Supreme Lord. (8.3.22-24)

I do not wish to live anymore after I am released from the attack of the crocodile. What is the use of an elephant's body covered externally and internally by ignorance? I simply desire eternal liberation from the covering of ignorance. That covering is not destroyed by the influence of time. (8.3.25)

Now, fully desiring release from material life, I bow to that Supreme Person who is the creator of the universe, who is Himself the form of the universe and who is nonetheless transcendental to this cosmic manifestation. He is the supreme knower of everything in this world, the Supersoul of the universe. He is the unborn, supremely situated Lord. I bow to Him. (8.3.26)

I bow to the Supreme, the Supersoul, the master of all mystic yoga, who is seen in the core of the heart by perfect mystics when they are completely purified and freed from the reactions of fruitive activity by practicing bhakti-yoga. (8.3.27)

My Lord, You are the controller of formidable strength in three kinds of energy. You appear as the reservoir of all sense pleasure and the protector of the surrendered souls. You possess unlimited energy, but You are unapproachable by those who are unable to control their senses. I bow to You again and again. (8.3.28)

I bow to the Supreme Lord, by whose illusory energy the jiva [individual spirit soul], who is part and parcel of God, forgets his real identity because of the bodily concept of life. I take shelter of the Supreme Lord, whose glories are difficult to understand. (8.3.29)
