(1) Following the sequence found in Srimad Bhagavatam, I shall now describe the Supreme Lord Krishna. I shall do this in order to attain the perfection of transcendental bliss, by offering 108 obeisances to Krishna. (2) O Krishna, o Supreme spiritual entity, O Truth which underlies the universe, O ingredient of which the universe is composed, O You who are in one sense not different from everything, O You who are eternal, full of knowledge and bliss, O You Who appear according to your own sweet will, O You Who give shelter to all (who approach You), all glories unto You. (3) O unchanging and unlimited Krishna. You are always transcendentally pure and free from material dualities. You are the effulgence and infallible Supreme Personality of Godhead. All glories unto You.
