When I create this universe endowed with his power, may the Lord, who benedicts the surrendered souls and manifests attractive qualities when he appears in this world by his internal energy, engage my mind in his pastimes which he performs, so that I can avoid the sins involved in creating. Fearing the influence of creative work predominated by rajo-guṇa, Brahmā prays for the well being of his bhakti. The Lord is the giver of benedictions to the surrendered. May he give benedictions to me! When he appears in this world, he has qualities such as affection for his devotees, which arise from his śakti arising from his svarūpa (ramayā), not his māyā-śakti. May he begin to engage my mind, when I will engage in creation of the universe (idam) invested with the power of the Lord (sva-vikramam), and in actions (tasmin) such as lifting up the earth. May my mind not be attached to that! Rather my mind should be attached to topics about his pastimes! He should do this, so that I will avoid sins such as harshness arising from the work of creation (karma-śamalam).
