SB 11.6.7
sri-deva ucuh
natah sma te natha padaravindam
buddhindriya-prana-mano-vacobhih
yac cintyate ’ntar hrdi bhava-yuktair
mumuksubhih karma-mayoru-pasat
Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
The demigods began to speak: Our dear Lord, advanced mystic yogis, striving for liberation from the severe bondage of material work, meditate with great devotion upon Your lotus feet within their hearts. Dedicating our intelligence, senses, vital air, mind and power of speech to Your Lordship, we demigods bow down at Your lotus feet.
Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
According to Srila Sridhara Svami, the word sma in this verse indicates vismaya, “astonishment.” The demigods were astonished that although great mystic yogis are only able to contemplate the lotus feet of the Lord within their hearts, the demigods arriving in the city of Dvaraka were able to see before them the entire body of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore the powerful demigods fell down like sticks before the Lord. Such full obeisances (called dandavat, “like a stick”) are described as follows:
dorbhyam padabhyam janubhyam
urasa sirasa drsa
manasa vacasa ceti
pranamo ’stanga iritah
“The obeisances offered with eight limbs are made with the two arms, the two legs, the two knees, the chest, the head, the eyes, the mind and the power of speech.”
The currents of material nature are very powerful, and one should therefore cling tightly to the lotus feet of the Lord. Otherwise, the violent waves of sense gratification and mental speculation will undoubtedly sweep one away from one’s eternal, constitutional position as the loving servitor of the Supreme Lord, and one will then fall down into the stringent bondage described here as uru-pasat, “a very powerful illusory network.”
