Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
Other topics include the subtle and gross movements of time, the generation of the lotus from the navel of Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, and the killing of the demon Hiraṇyākṣa when the earth was delivered from the Garbhodaka Ocean. The deliverance of the earth from the water is described. The irregular sandhi is for metrical consideration.
Subtle and gross movements of time, the lotus from Garbhodakasayi Vishnu's navel, and the killing of Madhu and Kaitabha are described. From cosmic to particular, all stories share one Lord.
Reflection Questions
  • Where do I oversort 'cosmic' from 'personal' rather than see one continuum?
  • What would weaving them together feel like in prayer?
