namaḥ - obeisances; tasmai - to Him; bhagavate - the Supreme Personality of Godhead; vāsudevāya - Lord Vāsudeva; sākṣiṇe - the supreme witness; yaḥ - who; idam - this; kṛpayā - out of mercy; kasmai - to Brahmā; vyācacakṣe - explained; mumukṣave - who was desiring liberation.

We offer our obeisances to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Vāsudeva, the all-pervading witness, who mercifully explained this science to Brahmā when he anxiously desired salvation.
