- विष्णवे जिष्णवे शङ्खिने चक्रिणे रुक्मिणीरागिणे जानकीजानये । वल्लवीवल्लभायार्चितायात्मने कंसविध्वंसिने वंशिने ते नमः ॥३॥
- Salutations to you, Vishnu, conqueror, bearer of the conch, wielder of the discus, lover of Rukmini, husband of Janaki, Self worshipped by the gopis, destroyer of Kamsa, and player of the flute.
Salutation to the Self within is salutation to the power that conquers inner foes and stills the restless mind. The flute-bearer is the silent witness whose music is the vibration of pure awareness behind every act.
