    They who provide real medical treatment [for the world, i.e., who treat the disease of material existence itself],
    They who resemble moons and personally delight [the world] with the nectarean luster of their grace,
    They who finely soothe [the world] like yellow sandalwood,
    They who adorn [the world] like astonishing jewels—
    I offer obeisance now and forever to those [associates of Śrī Gaurāṅga] led by Śrīvāsa.”

    Their hands filled with service offerings,
    Their faces smiling,
    And their garments white—
    We meditate upon them,
    The best of the sādhus,

    The joyful associates [of Śrī Gaurāṅga].”
