स एकः पुरुषश्रेष्ठो वासुदेवः सनातनः |
तमेव पुरुषं वक्ति साक्षाद्भगवतीश्रुतिः ||
तत्वज्ञा वैष्णवश्रेष्ठा गोपीभावेन निर्मलाः |
भजन्ति प्रेमभक्त्यैव श्रीकृष्णं प्राणवल्लभम् ||
अहङ्कारविमूढात्मा चिन्तयन् पौरुषं वृथा |
अस्वातन्त्र्येण सिद्धेन कालस्य वशमेति च ||
कालकर्मस्वभावाश्च जीवा भूतानि पञ्च च |
यमेवाश्रित्य तिष्ठन्ति स एव पुरुषोत्तमः ||
देवा मनुष्या गन्धर्वाःसिद्धविद्याधरास्तथा |
वशे यस्यैव वर्तन्ते स कृष्णः पुरुषोत्तमः ||
Shri Krishna, the primeval and eternal entity and the sole Supreme Being alone is the Purushottama. Even the Vedas identify Him alone as the Purushottama. The virtuous vaishnavas, who have understood the import of Vedic philosophy, with pious hearts filled with Gopi prem fondly worship Shri Krishna as their spouse. The foolish once engulfed by self-pride consider themselves to be masculine in vain. They fall prey to Kaala (Time) due to unavoidable slavery (to the Lord). He who is depended on by time, nature, souls and the five elements alone is the Purushottama. Shri Krishna, in whose control the devas, men and the gandharvas, the siddhas, the vidyadharas and others are enfolded, is the only Purushottama.
