I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord,
the first progenitor who is tending the cows,
yielding all desire, in abodes built with spiritual gems,
surrounded by millions of purpose trees,
always served with great reverence and affection
by hundreds of thousands of lakṣmīs or gopīs.
(5:29).

govindam ādi-puruṣaḿ tam ahaḿ bhajāmi

I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord,
who is adept in playing on His flute,
with blooming eyes like lotus petals with head decked with
peacock's feather, with the figure of beauty tinged with the hue of blue clouds,
and His unique loveliness charming millions of Cupids.
(5:30).

govindam ādi-puruṣaḿ tam ahaḿ bhajāmi

I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, round whose neck
is swinging a garland of flowers beautified with the moon-locket,
whose two hands are adorned with the flute and jeweled ornaments,
who always revels in pastimes of love, whose graceful
threefold-bending form of Śyāmasundara is eternally manifest.
(5:31).

govindam ādi-puruṣaḿ tam ahaḿ bhajāmi

I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord,
whose transcendental form is full of bliss,
truth, substantiality and is thus full of the most dazzling splendour.
Each of the limbs of that transcendental figure possesses in Himself,
the full-fledged functions of all the organs, and eternally sees,
maintains and manifests the infinite universes, both spiritual and mundane.
(5:32).

vedeṣu durlabham adurlabham ātma-bhaktau
govindam ādi-puruṣaḿ tam ahaḿ bhajāmi

I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is inaccessible to the Vedas,
but obtainable by pure unalloyed devotion of the soul,
who is without a second, who is not subject to decay, is without a beginning,
whose form is endless, who is the beginning, and the eternal puruṣa;
yet He is a person possessing the beauty of blooming youth.
(5:33).

panthās tu koṭi-śata-vatsara-sampragamyo
vāyor athāpi manaso muni-puńgavānām
so 'py asti yat-prapada-sīmny avicintya-tattve
govindam ādi-puruṣaḿ tam ahaḿ bhajāmi

I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, only the tip of the toe
of whose lotus feet is approached by the yogīs who aspire after the transcendental
and betake themselves to prāṇāyāma by drilling the respiration;
or by the jñānīs who try to find out the nondifferentiated Brahman
by the process of elimination of the mundane,
extending over thousands of millions of years.
(5:34).
