Translation

Verse 1

The rasas are eternal. Vraja is eternal. Know that Kṛṣṇa's pastimes and rasas are one. Lord Kṛṣṇa is the rasas directly. Everything is under Lord Kṛṣṇa's dominion. This the Vedas and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam sing.

Verse 2

Lord Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Truth. His pastimes are in pure goodness. Māyā is His maidservant who stays far away. Desiring the conditioned souls' welfare, and giving His mercy to them, Lord Kṛṣṇa manifests His pastimes in this world.

Verse 3

Again and again searching for Him, Brahmā, Śeṣa, and Śiva have no power to understand Him. He is the resting place of the impersonal Brahman. The Supersoul is a part of Him. He is the original Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Verse 4

Lord Kṛṣṇa is filled with mercy. He is the root of all existence, the shelter of all. He is a jewel-mine of limitless transcendental pastimes. Enjoying pastimes of pretending to be impersonal, He manifests the impersonal Brahman, which is the effulgence of His own bodily limbs. He possesses the jewels of all transcendental qualities.

Verse 5

Manifesting His form as the Supersoul, how many pastimes does He enjoy with the conditioned souls who move on the wheel of karma? Manifesting the form of Vāmana and other forms, how many hundreds of pastimes does He enjoy with the demigods in Devaloka?

Verse 6

In the spiritual sky He is Nārāyaṇa. He protects His servants. He is the master of the demigods. He is the king of the kings of the kings. Lord Kṛṣṇa is the shelter of everything. Still, in Vraja He pretends to be a human being and He enjoys humanlike pastimes.
