tvam apy adabhra-śruta viśrutaṁ vibhoḥ

saṅkleśa-nirvāṇam uśanti nānyathā
 

TRANSLATION
Please, therefore, describe the almighty Lord’s activities which you have learned by your vast knowledge of the Vedas, for that will satisfy the hankerings of great learned men and at the same time mitigate the miseries of the masses of common people who are always suffering from material pangs. Indeed, there is no other way to get out of such miseries.
