gītā mahātmya
śloka 4
gītā sugītā kārtavya kimaṇyaiḥ śāstravistāraiḥ
yā svayaṃ padmanābhāsya mukhapadmadvinihasratā
Translation
The Bhagavad Gita should be studied well. When there is the Bhagavad Gita, which has issued from the lotus mouth of Vishnu, what need is there for so many other scriptures?
śloka 6
ekam śāstra devakīputra gītā-
meko devo devakīputra evenyū
eko mantrastasya nāmāni yāni
karmapayekaṃ tasya devasya sevā
Translation
There is one science: the Gita taught by Krishna; there is one Bhagavan: Shri Krishna; there is one mantra: His name; and there is one service: the service of Him.
śloka 7
śāntākāraṃ bhujagasayanaṃ padmanābhaṃ suresaṃ
viśvadharaṃ gaganasādṛśaṃ meghavarṇa śubhaṃgama
lakṣmīkaṃṭhaṃ kamalanayanaṃ yogībhira dhyānagamyam
vande viṣṇuṃ ca bhayaharāma sarvalokaikanātha
Translation
I offer salutations to Vishnu, who is calm, who is seated on the serpent, in whose navel is the lotus flower, who is the Lord of the devas, who is the support of the world, who is like the sky, whose color is that of the sky, whose limbs are beautiful, who is the consort of Lakshmi, whose eyes are lotus-like, who is attained by the meditation of yogis, who is the sole protector of all worlds, and who is the dispeller of fear.
śloka 8
brahmā varuṇendrarudramarutaḥ sthunvanti divyaiḥ stavaiḥ
vedaiḥ saṃgapādakramapaniṣadaira gāyanti yaṃ samāgaḥ
dhyānasvitatadgatena manasā paśyanti yaṃ yogino
yasyantaṃ na viduḥ surāsuragaṇa devāya tasmai namaḥ
Translation
I offer salutations to that Bhagavan whom Brahma, Varuna, Rudra and Vayu praise with divine hymns, whom the Samagana singers sing of through the words of the Vedic Upanishads, whom the wise yogis behold in meditation, and whose glory neither the devas nor the rakshasas know.
