I offer my respectful obeisances unto the Supreme Lord, whose names when chanted, destroy all sins. Offering of obeisances to him destroys all suffering. I offer respects to guru and Kṛṣṇa, and to the ocean of mercy, Lokanatha. [Note: Viṣvanāthas dīksā line is as follows: Lokanātha, Narottama, Gaṅgānārāyaṇa Cakravartī, Kṛṣṇacaraṇa Cakravartī, Rādhārāmana Cakravartī, Viśvanātha Cakravartī. ] O Kṛṣṇa Caitanya! O Gauraṅga along with your associates! O unconditional ocean of mercy! Please fill me with prema. Glory to the couple expert in pastimes of rasa in Vṛṇdāvana! Please lead me to your gopī associates! Be merciful to this commentary! Though I am ignorant, you have made me write this commentary. O Kṛṣṇa! O Bhāgavatam! Be pleased with this commentary! O protector of the cows! Though I am not intelligent, please accept and protect this work! Drink its milk and, if you are pleased, give it to your devotees. This commentary has been completed on the sixth lunar day of the waxing moon, in Māgha month, 1626 Śaka era. May the devotees of the Lord relish this commentary! Since the most learned among the learned have no taste for the Bhāgavatam whose sole function is to play in the waves of sweetness--a mood incomprehensible to the six philosophies, let it remain an unfortunate creation, defective in every word for them, though it is actually endowed with all good qualities and dances with divine wisdom. There is no harm if the Bhāgavatam contains ārambha-vāda (asat-kārya-vāda) of the Vaiśeṣikas and Nyāyikas, [Note: This is also called paramāṇu-vada.] pariṇāma-vāda (sat-kārya-vāda) of the Sāṅkhya philosophers or vivarta-vāda of the Advaitins. The final conclusion of bhakti, the jewel of human endeavors, will be seen by devotion, by the mercy of guru. Therefore I offer repeated respects to my guru. O devotees! This foolish person with fickle mind is crying at your door. Like a dog without a master, may he receive a little mercy! I offer respects to Govardhana, the best of the Lord’s servants. I offer repeated respects to Rādhā-kuṇḍa and Kṛṣṇa-kuṇḍa. Thus ends the commentary on Thirteenth Chapter of the Twelfth Canto of the Bhāgavatam for the pleasure of the devotees, in accordance with the previous ācāryas.
