Gopala Tapani Upanisad

Gopala-tapani Upanisad is part of the Atharva Veda and often quoted by Gaudiya acaryas since it is sruti text which clearly praises Krsna and the path of bhakti as supreme. Its main subject is Krsna. It also explains the Krsna mantra in detail. This particular edition contains the commentary by Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura & Srila Baladeva Vidyabhusana

Translated by Bhanu Swami

saccidānanda rūpāya krşņāyāklişţakārine | 

namo vedanta-vedyaya gurave buddhi-sākşine ||

I offer respects to Krsna, the form of eternity, knowledge, and bliss, who performs actions without fatigue, who is to be known by the conclusion of the Vedas, who is the guru of all knowledge, and who reveals himself by guiding the intelligence of the jiva.
