My dear King, I shall fully explain to you the Haṁsa-guhya prayers, which were offered to the Supreme Personality of Godhead by Dakṣa, and I shall explain how the Lord was pleased with him for those prayers.
Purport
It is to be understood that the Haṁsa-guhya prayers were not composed by Dakṣa, but were existing in the Vedic literature.

Translation
I shall explain to you how Dakṣa praised the Lord beyond the senses by the Hamṣa-guhya prayers and how the Lord was satisfied with him.
The prayers were previously composed, not made by Dakṣa. Kasya means “of Dakṣa.”

Śukadeva announces he will explain the Haṁsa-guhya prayers and how they pleased the Lord. The names and structure of great prayers are themselves treasures to receive with attention.
Reflection Questions
- Which great prayer have I been meaning to study but kept postponing?
- What would change if I let one ancient prayer shape my daily speech?
