O supreme protector, O grandfather, O supreme pure, O Lord! We are all surrendered souls at Your lotus feet. Indeed, our minds are bound to Your lotus feet in meditation by chains of love. Now please manifest Your incarnation. Accepting us as Your own eternal servants and devotees, be pleased with us and sympathetic toward us. By Your love-filled glance, with its cool and pleasing smile of sympathy, and by the sweet, nectarean words emanating from Your beautiful face, free us from the anxiety caused by this Vṛtrāsura, who always pains the cores of our hearts.
Purport

Lord Brahmā is considered the father of the demigods, but Kṛṣṇa, or Lord Viṣṇu, is the father of Brahmā because Brahmā took birth from the lotus flower growing from the Lord’s abdomen.

Translation
O father of our father! O Supreme Lord! You should relieve the pain in our hearts by a drop of sweet, juicy nectar flowing from your mouth, by your compassionate, smiling glance which is soothing, pure and pleasing, and by manifesting your form to those who identify with you, whose hearts are bound by chains of meditation to your lotus feet, who belong to you, and who are surrendered to you. Having praised the Lord, they pray for soothing sweet words and a glance of mercy. O grandfather! We have chains in your hearts bound by meditation to your lotus feet. We cannot withdraw the bees of our minds from your lotus feet. Relieve our pain by manifesting your form (sva-liṅga-vivaraṇena) and by a drop of nectar in the form of your pleasing words, flowing like sweet juice from your mouth.

Reflection Questions
  • Are my chains of love stronger than my chains of habit?
  • Do I expect the Lord to appear, or merely hope?
