srivyasa uvaca —
svapurusamabhiviksya pasahastam vadati yamah kila tasya karnamule ।
parihara madhusudanaprapannan prabhurahamanyanṛnam na vaisnavanam ॥ 1 ॥
ahamamaraganarcitena dhatra yama iti lokahitahite niyuktah ।
hariguruvimukhan prasasmi martyan haricaranapranatannamaskaromi ॥ 2 ॥
sugatimabhilasami vasudevadahamapi bhagavate sthitantaratma ।
