Pārṣadas of Caitanya Mahāprabhu
pada-kāntyā jita-madano
pada-kāntyā jita-madano
mukha-kāntyā khaṇḍita-kamala-maṇi-garvaḥ |
śrī-rūpāśrita-caraṇaḥ
kṛpayatu mayi gaura-govindaḥ ||
(Unknown source; cited in Sādhana-dīpikā: 2)
“May Gaura Govinda—
He by the splendor of whose feet
Madana [i.e., Kāma] is vanquished,
He by the splendor of whose face
The pride of lotuses and jewels is crushed,
He at whose feet Śrī Rūpa has taken shelter—
Bestow grace upon me.”
sanātanaṁ rūpam ihopadarśayann
sanātanaṁ rūpam ihopadarśayann
ānanda-sindhuṁ paritaḥ pravardhayan |
antas-tamaḥ-stoma-haraḥ sa rājatāṁ
caitanya-rūpo vidhur adbhutodayaḥ ||
(Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa’s Stava-mālā-ṭīkā: Maṅgalācaraṇa, 2)
“The Dispeller of the mass of inner darkness,
The Moon of astonishing arising,
He of conscious (caitanya) form [i.e., Svayaṁ Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa],
Shines,
Manifesting an eternal (sanātanaṁ) form (rūpaṁ) here [i.e., in this world during his avatāra],
And causing an ocean of bliss to swell in all directions.”
śrīvāsādi yata mahāprabhura bhakta-gaṇa
śrīvāsādi yata mahāprabhura bhakta-gaṇa |
nija-nija-bhāve karena caitanya-sevana ||
paṇḍita-gosāñi-ādi yāra yei rasa |
sei sei rase prabhu hana tāra vaśa ||
(Caitanya-caritāmṛta: 1.17.300–301)
“All of Mahāprabhu’s bhaktas, Śrīvāsa and so forth, engage in service to Caitanya with their own respective bhāvas. Prabhu becomes captivated by Paṇḍita Gosāñi [i.e., Gadādhara Paṇḍita Gosvāmī] and others by the respective rasas which they each have.”

yasya kṛpā-lavenāpi gaurāṅge jāyate ratiḥ ||
(Unknown source)
“I offer obeisance to Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita, the beloved pārṣada of Gaurāṅga, by even a trace of whose grace rati for Gaurāṅga manifests.”
