TRANSLATION

I adore the primeval Lord Govinda who assuming His own great subjective form, who bears the name of Sesha, replete with the all-accommodating potency, and reposing in the Causal Ocean with the infinity of the world in the pores of His hair, enjoys creative sleep [yoga-nidra].

PURPORT

(The subjective nature of Ananta who has the form of the couch of Maha-Vishnu, is described.) Ananta, the same who is the infinite couch on which Maha-Vishnu reposes, is a distinctive appearance of the Divinity bearing the name of Sesha, having the subjective nature of the servant of Krishna.
