prapanno ’smi maha-yogin

O master of mystic power, O great personality, O Lord of the devotees, I surrender to You. Please command me as You will, O supreme God, Lord of all lords of the universe.

brahma-dandad vimukto ’ham
 sadyas te ’cyuta darsanat
yan-nama grhnann akhilan
 srotrn atmanam eva ca
sadyah punati kim bhuyas
 tasya sprstah pada hi te

Translation: 
O infallible one, I was immediately freed from the brahmanas’ punishment simply by seeing You. Anyone who chants Your name purifies all who hear his chanting, as well as himself. How much more beneficial, then, is the touch of Your lotus feet?

Thus receiving the permission of Lord Krsna, the demigod Sudarsana circumambulated Him, bowed down to offer Him homage and then returned to his heavenly planet. Nanda Maharaja was thus delivered from peril.
