You have given me the benediction of placing your hand on my head

[krsna 3]

kvAhaM rajaH-prabhava Iza tamo 'dhike 'smin

jAtaH suretara-kule kva tavAnukampA

na brahmaNo na tu bhavasya na vai ramAyA

yan me'rpitaH zirasi padma-karaH prasAdaH

 

O Lord! I was conceived in the mode of passion and born in this demonic family, dominated by the darkness of ignorance—how far from your mercy! And yet, you have given me the benediction of placing your hand on my head, a blessing not given to Lord Brahma, nor to Shiva, nor even to Lakshmi Devi. (7.9.26)

so’haM kathaM nu visRje tava bhRtya-sevAm

 

A person like myself, fallen into the dark, snake-filled well of material life where I have remained, absorbed in desires and their consequences as a result of association. Yet I was picked up and claimed by the sage amongst the gods, Narada. So, how could I ever abandon service to your servants? (BhP 7.9.28)
