Chapter 11 • Verse 39

वायुर्यमोऽग्निर्वरुणः शशाङ्कः प्रजापतिस्त्वं प्रपितामहश्च। नमो नमस्तेऽस्तु सहस्रकृत्वः पुनश्च भूयोऽपि नमो नमस्ते॥

vāyur yamo 'gnir varuṇaḥ śhaśhāṅkaḥ prajāpatis tvaṁ prapitāmahaśh cha namo namas te 'stu sahasra-kṛitvaḥ punaśh cha bhūyo 'pi namo namas te

Meaning

You are Vayu (wind), Yama (death), Agni (fire), Varuna (water), the moon, Prajapati (creator), and the great-grandfather. Salutations, salutations to You a thousand times, and again and again salutations to You!

You are the gods of wind, death, fire, water; You are the moon, the creator, the great ancestor. Arjuna bows a thousand times, then again and again. Infinite bowing to infinite reality — one bow is never enough.

Strength Reflection

"Infinite divine reality deserves infinite devotion. One bow is never enough."

Devotional Surrender

O Lord, a thousand salutations, and again and again, I bow to You.
