Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O great king! whilst Akroor was standing
in the water, and meditating for some time on Krishnù, he obtained
knowledge; and joining his hands, and making obeisance, began to say
to Krishnù, “You are the divinity, both creator and destroyer; and
having come into the world for the sake of your worshippers, you
assume endless forms and shapes; and gods, men and sages are particles
of you. Being manifested from you, they are contained in you, as water
is contained in the sea, having issued from the sea! Your greatness is
incomparable! Who can describe it? You remain constantly in the form
of the embodied spirit? The heaven is your head, the earth your feet,
the sea your belly, the atmosphere, your navel, clouds your hair,
trees the hair of your body, fire your mouth, the ten quarters of the
world your ears, the sun and moon your eyes; Indrù your arm, Bruhmù
your intellect, Roodrù your pride, thunder your speech, air your
life, water your seed; day and night depend on the opening and
shutting of your eye-lids. This is the form, in which you constantly
dwell? Who can recognize you?” Akroor, having thus offered up praises
to Krishnú, and meditated upon his feet said, “O lord of compassion!
take me under your protection.”
