Bhavartha Dipika is a commentary on Srimad Bhagavatam by Sridhar Swami. I

was wondering whether he adapted the sloka from somewhere else or he

composed it.

 

In the CC this sloka is quoted as follows:

 

mukam karoti vacalam

pangum langhayate girim

yat-krpa tam aham vande

paramananda-madhavam

 

"‘The Supreme Personality of Godhead has the form of sac-cid-ananda-vigraha

[bs. 5.1] -- transcendental bliss, knowledge and eternity. I offer my

respectful obeisances unto Him, who turns the dumb into eloquent speakers

and enables the lame to cross mountains. Such is the mercy of the Lord.'"

 

PURPORT

This is a quotation from the Bhavartha-dipika commentary on

Srimad-Bhagavatam (1.1.1).

 

>>> Ref. VedaBase => Madhya 17.80

 

 

Could someone tell us more about this sloka: what is it's origin and why

there are two different versions?
