I offer obeisance unto him, Śrīla Gadādhara, the preeminent desire-tree of incomparable bliss.”

“His beautiful figure mocking a mass of lightning,
His divine face resembling a golden lotus,
His feet resplendent,
His palms and soles bright like cinnabar,
His white cloth beautiful,
His heart tender in nurturing bhaktas,
Fixed upon his object of worship Śrī Gaura,
Lovely Śrīla Gadādhara,
The best of masters,
Known as Śrī Paṇḍita,
I worship.”

An embodiment of the bliss of prema,
His smiling face like nectar,
His glance fixed upon the moon Śrī Gaura—
Meditate on Śrīla Gadādhara,
The best of the twice-born,
Radiant with the adornment of mādhurya.”
