TEXT 40
- ya etena pumān nityaṁ
- stutvā stotreṇa māṁ bhajet
- tasyāśu samprasīdeyaṁ
- sarva-kāma-vareśvaraḥ
yaḥanyone who — anyone who; etenaby this — by this; pumānhuman being — human being; nityamregularly — regularly; stutvāpraying — praying; stotreṇaby the verses — by the verses; māmMe — Me; bhajetmay worship — may worship; tasyahis — his; āśuvery soon — very soon; samprasīdeyamI shall fulfill — I shall fulfill; sarvaall — all; kāmadesires — desires; varathe Lord of all benediction-īśvaraḥthe Lord of all benediction — the Lord of all benediction.
Any human being who prays like Brahmā, and who thus worships Me, shall very soon be blessed with the fulfillment of all his desires, for I am the Lord of all benediction.
The prayers offered by Brahmā cannot be chanted by anyone who desires to fulfill his own sense gratification. Such prayers can be selected only by a person who wants to satisfy the Lord in His service. The Lord certainly fulfills all desires in regard to transcendental loving service, but He cannot fulfill the whims of nondevotees, even when such casual devotees offer Him the best of prayers.
