English	Brahmā said, “My dear Kṛṣṇa, Your name suggests that You are all-attractive. The attraction of the sun and the moon are due to You. By the attraction of the sun You beautify the existence of the Yadu dynasty. By the attraction of the moon You enhance the potency of the land, demigods, brāhmaṇas, cows, and oceans. Because of Your supreme attraction, demons like Kaṁsa are annihilated. You are the only worshipable Deity within the creation. Accept my humble obeisances until the annihilation of this material world. As long as there is sunshine in this world, kindly accept my humble obeisances.”
English	Lord Brahmā saw the Absolute Truth – who is one without a second, who possesses full knowledge and who is unlimited – assuming the role of a child in a family of cowherd men and standing all alone, just as before, with a morsel of food in His hand, searching everywhere for the calves and His cowherd friends. After seeing this, Lord Brahmā hastily got down from his swan carrier, fell down like a golden rod and touched the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa with the tips of the four crowns on his heads. Offering his obeisances, he bathed the feet of Kṛṣṇa with the water of his tears of joy. Rising and falling again and again at the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa for a long time, Lord Brahmā remembered over and over the Lord’s greatness he had just seen. Then, rising very gradually and wiping his two eyes, Lord Brahmā looked up at Mukunda. Lord Brahmā, his head bent low, his mind concentrated and his body trembling, very humbly began, with faltering words, to offer praise to Lord Kṛṣṇa.
