3 Translation O my Lord, Çré Kåñëa, son of Vasudeva, O all-pervading Personality of Godhead, I offer my respectful obeisances unto You. I meditate upon Lord Çré Kåñëa because He is the Absolute Truth and the primeval cause of all causes of the creation, sustenance and destruction of the manifested universes. He is directly and indirectly conscious of all manifestations, and He is independent because there is no other cause beyond Him. It is He only who first imparted the Vedic knowledge unto the heart of Brahmäjé, the original living being. By Him even the great sages and demigods are placed into illusion, as one is bewildered by the illusory representations of water seen in fire, or land seen on water. Only because of Him do the material universes, temporarily manifested by the reactions of the three modes of nature, appear factual, although they are unreal. I therefore meditate upon Him, Lord Çré Kåñëa, who is eternally existent in the transcendental abode, which is forever free from the illusory representations of the material world. I meditate upon Him, for He is the Absolute Truth.

4 vinimayo yatra tri-sargo ’måñä
“Only because of Him do the material universes, temporarily manifested by the reactions of the three modes of nature, appear factual, although they are unreal.”

5 Creation of interaction of 3 modes.
3 Modes create everything within this material world. Everything means – bodies of different living entities, different matter, different emotions, different interactions between different living entities, and so on…

6 Appearing Factual Everything is temporary in this world, body, home, love & hatered, happiness & distress, & so on… Yet appears to be factual (everylasting)

7 Material world compared to dreaming.
E.g. in dream on sees being chased by tiger, suffering due to tiger chasing is actually non-existant, yet the effect of it is real. Mayavada theory not supported, world is temporary and thus unreal, but it is not imaginery or non existant. Waking up from dreaming drives away all sufferings.

8 Waking up from dream by, Simply chanting Hare Krsna Hare Krsna
Krsna Krsna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
