जन्माद्यस्य यतः
Sanskrit text with English transliteration and translation
ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय।
जन्माद्यस्य यतोऽन्वयादितरतश्चार्थेष्वभिज्ञः स्वराट्
तेने ब्रह्म हृदा य आदिकवये मुह्यन्ति यत्सूरयः।
तेजोवारिमृदां यथा विनिमयो यत्र त्रिसर्गोऽमृषा
धाम्ना स्वेन सदा निरस्तकुहकं सत्यं परं धीमहि॥
Oṃ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.
Janmādy asya yato 'nvayād itarataś cārtheṣv abhijñaḥ svarāṭ
tene brahma hṛdā ya ādi-kavaye muhyanti yat sūrayaḥ.
tejo-vāri-mṛdāṃ yathā vinimayo yatra tri-sargo 'mṛṣā
dhāmnā svena sadā nirasta-kuhakaṃ satyaṃ paraṃ dhīmahi.
I offer my obeisances unto Lord Vasudeva. Let us meditate upon the Supreme Absolute Truth, from whom the creation, maintenance and dissolution of this universe proceed — who is directly and indirectly conscious of all manifestations and is fully independent, free of any other cause. It is He who imparted the Vedic knowledge through the heart to Brahma, the first created sage, and about whom even the greatest of demigods and sages are bewildered. Just as fire, water and earth appear to be exchanged for one another, in Him the threefold creation of the three modes of nature appears real though it is but an illusory transformation. By His own self-effulgent abode He is forever free of all illusion. Upon that Supreme Truth, the Absolute, we meditate.
