Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 63


Sanskrit:

उत्थायोत्थाय कृष्णस्य चिरस्य पादयो: पतन् ।आस्ते महित्वं प्राग्द‍ृष्टं स्मृत्वा स्मृत्वा पुन: पुन: ॥ ६३ ॥

ITRANS:

utthāyotthāya kṛṣṇasyacirasya pādayoḥ patanāste mahitvaṁ prāg-dṛṣṭaṁsmṛtvā smṛtvā punaḥ punaḥ

Translation:

Rising and falling again and again at the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa for a long time, Lord Brahmā remembered over and over the Lord’s greatness he had just seen.

Purport:

As stated in one prayer, “Let others study the Vedas, smṛti and Mahābhārata, fearing material existence, but I shall worship Nanda Mahārāja, in whose courtyard is crawling the Supreme Brahman. Nanda Mahārāja is so great that the Parabrahman is crawling in his yard, and therefore I shall worship him.” (Padyāvalī 126) Brahmā was falling down in ecstasy. Because of the presence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who exactly resembled a human child, Brahmā was naturally astonished. Therefore with a faltering voice he offered prayers, understanding that here was the Supreme Person.
