- अच्युतं केशवं रामनारायणं कृष्णदामोदरं वासुदेवं हरिम् । श्रीधरं माधवं गोपिकावल्लभं जानकीनायकं रामचन्द्रं भजे ॥१॥
- I worship Achyuta, Kesava, Rama-Narayana, Krishna-Damodara, Vasudeva, Hari, Sridhara, Madhava, beloved of the gopis, lord of Janaki, and Ramachandra.
The many names of the Lord are not many realities but one undivided consciousness appearing through devotion. When the mind gathers them in worship, it turns from the scattered world toward the single Self that wears every sacred name.
