वायुर्यमोऽग्निर्वरुणः शशाङ्कः प्रजापतिस्त्वं प्रपितामहश्च । नमो नमस्तेऽस्तु सहस्रकृत्वः पुनश्च भूयोऽपि नमो नमस्ते ॥ ३९ ॥
vāyur yamo ’gnir varuṇaḥ śhaśhāṅkaḥ prajāpatis tvaṁ prapitāmahaśh cha namo namas te ’stu sahasra-kṛitvaḥ punaśh cha bhūyo ’pi namo namas te
Translation
You are Vayu, Yama, Agni, Varuna and the moon; You are Prajapati and the great-grandfather of all. Salutations, salutations to You a thousand times, and again and again, salutations to You!
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
आप ही वायु, यम, अग्नि, वरुण और चंद्रमा हैं; आप ही प्रजापति ब्रह्मा और सबके प्रपितामह हैं। आपको हज़ार बार नमस्कार है, नमस्कार है; और फिर बार-बार आपको नमस्कार है, नमस्कार है।
Commentary
The gods of wind, death, fire, water and the moon are all named as Krishna himself. Prapitamaha, "great-grandfather," places Krishna even above Brahma, the grandfather of creation. Then the verse dissolves into pure salutation: "namo namah" repeated with nothing left to say but bowing.
