SYNONYMS

ambujam-lotus flower; ambuni-in the water; jatam-is grown; kvacit-at any time; api-certainly; na-not; jatam-grown; ambujat-from a lotus flower; ambu-water; mura-bhidi-in the killer of Murasura (Krsna); tat-viparitam-just the opposite of that; pada-ambhojat-from the lotus flower of His feet; maha-nadi-the great river; jata-has grown.

TRANSLATION

"Everyone knows that lotus flowers grow in the water but water never grows from a lotus. All such contradictions, however, are wonderfully possible in Krsna. The great River Ganges has grown from His lotus feet.
