Word breakdown
- विभुं वेणुनादं चरंतं दुरंतं स्वयं लीलया गोपवेषं दधानम् ।
- The all-pervading one, sounding the flute, moving, hard to cross, assuming cowherd dress by his own sport.
- गवां वृन्दकानन्ददं चारुहासं परब्रह्मलिङ्गं भजे पाण्डुरङ्गम् ॥७॥
- Giver of joy to the herds of cows, of charming smile: I worship Panduranga, the emblem of supreme Brahman.
The all-pervading Lord plays the flute in cowherd guise, showing that Brahman is not confined to heaven. His sport delights the simple and the wise alike, for joy is the nature of the Self when illusion drops away.
