एवं सम्मोहयन् विष्णुं विमोहं विश्वमोहनम् । स्वयैव माययाजोऽपि स्वयमेव विमोहित: ॥ ४४ ॥
evaṁ sammohayan viṣṇuṁ vimohaṁ viśva-mohanam svayaiva māyayājo ’pi svayam eva vimohitaḥ
- evam
- in this way
- sammohayan
- wanting to mystify
- viṣṇum
- the all-pervading Lord Kṛṣṇa
- vimoham
- who can never be mystified
- viśva-mohanam
- but who mystifies the entire universe
- svayā
- by his (Brahmā’s) own
- eva
- indeed
- māyayā
- by mystic power
- ajaḥ
- Lord Brahmā
- api
- even
- svayam
- himself
- eva
- certainly
- vimohitaḥ
- was put into bewilderment, became mystified
Thus because Lord Brahmā wanted to mystify the all-pervading Lord Kṛṣṇa, who can never be mystified, but who, on the contrary, mystifies the entire universe, he himself was put into bewilderment by his own mystic power.
