That Supreme Person is glorified throughout the Vedas and Upaniṣads, and the creation, maintainance, and destruction of the material universes are only a small fraction of His unlimited pastimes. All glories to that Supreme Lord, who is an ocean of perfect transcendental bliss, and who, within the forest of Vṛndāvana, is the Lord and hero of the gopīs.
