My dear Lord, even Lord Brahmā, who enjoys his exalted position for the entire duration of the universe, fears the passage of time. Then what to speak of those whom Brahmā creates, the conditioned souls. They encounter fearful dangers at every step of their lives. I do not know of any relief from this fear except shelter at Your lotus feet, which are the very form of liberation.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
O Lord! For people fearing saṁsāra I do not know any auspiciousness other than the lotus feet of you, the form of liberation, since even Brahmā who lives for two parārdhas also fears time. What to speak of the creatures created by him! I do not know any auspiciousness other than your lotus feet for persons fearing saṁsāra (parito bhīyaḥ), since even Brahmā fears time, what to speak of others created by Brahmā.
