TRANSLATION

 

You are without origin, middle or end. Your glory is unlimited. You

have numberless arms, and the sun and moon are Your eyes. I see You

with blazing fire coming forth from Your mouth, burning this entire

universe by Your own radiance.

 

PURPORT

 

There is no limit to the extent of the six opulences of the Supreme

Personality of Godhead. Here and in many other places there is

repetition, but according to the scriptures, repetition of the glories

of Krsna is not a literary weakness. It is said that at a time of

bewilderment or wonder or of great ecstasy, statements are repeated

over and over. That is not a flaw.
