Translation

My dear Lord, Your lotus feet are the reservoir that always deserves to receive worshipful homage from all great sages eager to understand the Absolute Truth. You are full in opulence, renunciation, transcendental fame, knowledge, strength and beauty, and therefore I surrender myself unto Your lotus feet.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

I surrender to you, full of the six qualities of control, detachment, good qualities, knowledge, influence and beauty, whose feet are constantly worthy of worship by devotees desiring direct knowledge of the truth. Speaking of the qualities of the suitable forms of the Lord which please the devotees, Kardama now describes Kapila. He lists the six great qualities of the lord: aiśvarya, varirāgya, yaśa, jṣāna, vīrya and śrī, which define Bhagavān. The Lord is a great reservoir (pūrtam) of these spiritual qualities, which becomes the object of address, worship and service by the devotees. This indicates that this form is his real form, full of the six qualities, and fully spiritual.

Purport

Actually, those who are searching after the Absolute Truth must take shelter of the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and worship Him. In Bhagavad-gītā Lord Kṛṣṇa advised Arjuna many times to surrender unto Him, especially at the end of the Ninth Chapter — man-manā bhava mad-bhaktaḥ: “If you want to be perfect, just always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me, and offer your obeisances to Me. In this way you will understand Me, the Personality of Godhead, and ultimately you will come back to Me, back to Godhead, back home.” Why is it so? The Lord is always full in six opulences, as mentioned herein: wealth, renunciation, fame, knowledge, strength and beauty. The word pūrtam means “in full.” No one can claim that all wealth belongs to him, but Kṛṣṇa can claim it, since He has full wealth. Similarly, He is full in knowledge, renunciation, strength and beauty. He is full in everything, and no one can surpass Him. Another one of Kṛṣṇa’s names is asamordhva, which means that no one is equal to or greater than Him.
