rahÅ«gaṇa uvÄca
namo namaḥ kÄraṇa-vigrahÄya
svarÅ«pa-tucchÄ«ká¹›ta-vigrahÄya
namo 'vadhūta dvija-bandhu-liṅga-
nigÅ«á¸ha-nityÄnubhavÄya tubhyam
rahÅ«gaṇaḥ uvÄca - King RahÅ«gaṇa said; namaḥ - my respectful obeisances; namaḥ - obeisances; kÄraṇa-vigrahÄya - to one whose body emanates from the Supreme Person, the cause of all causes; svarÅ«pa-tucchÄ«ká¹›ta-vigrahÄya - who has completely removed all the contradictions of the scriptures by manifesting his true self; namaḥ - respectful obeisances; avadhÅ«ta - O master of all mystic power; dvija-bandhu-liá¹…ga - by the characteristics of a person born in a brÄhmaṇa family but not executing the duties of a brÄhmaṇa; nigÅ«á¸ha - covered; nitya-anubhavÄya - to him whose eternal self-realization; tubhyam - to you.
King RahÅ«gaṇa said: O most exalted personality, you are not different from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. By the influence of your true self, all kinds of contradiction in the Å›Ästras have been removed. In the dress of a friend of a brÄhmaṇa, you are hiding your transcendental blissful position. I offer my respectful obeisances unto you.
From the Brahma-saá¹hitÄ we understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the cause of all causes (sarva-kÄraṇa-kÄraṇam). Ṛṣabhadeva was the direct incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the cause of all causes. His son, Bharata MahÄrÄja, who was now acting as the brÄhmaṇa Jaá¸a Bharata, had received his body from the cause of all causes. Therefore he is addressed as kÄraṇa-vigrahÄya.
