ambujam—lotus flower; ambuni—in the water; jātam—is grown; kvacit—at any time; api—certainly; na—not; jātam—grown; ambujāt—from a lotus flower; ambu—water; mura-bhidi—in Kṛṣṇa, the killer of Murāsura; tat-viparītam—just the opposite of that; pāda-ambhojāt—from the lotus flower of His feet; mahā-nadī—the great river; jātā—has grown.

“‘Everyone knows that lotus flowers grow in the water but water never grows from a lotus. All such contradictions, however, are wonderfully possible in Kṛṣṇa: the great river Ganges has grown from His lotus feet.’
