śrī-rūpasyāṅghri-padmaṁ praṇata-matir ahaṁ naumi bhūmau nipatya

śrīmac-caitanya-candro’py atiśaya-kṛpayā yatra śaktiṁ prakāśya
śrīmad-vṛndāvanīyaṁ madhura-rati-rasaṁ darśayāmāsa sarvān ||
(Bhāvanā-sāra-saṅgraha: Upasaṁhara, 3)

“Humble in mind,
I fall to the earth
And praise the lotus feet of Śrī Rūpa,
By whom the people [of the world] have been immersed
In the ocean of the nectar of Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa’s līlā,
And by empowering whom with profuse grace
Śrīmac Caitanyacandra so also revealed to everyone
The rasa of the madhura-rati found in Śrīmad Vṛndāvana.”

“I offer obeisance unto the feet of Śrīmat Kṛṣṇa Dāsa, the foremost king amongst poets (kavis), who is of affectionate and charming nature, a bestower of well-being upon all, ever blissful, highly renowned throughout the world for his composition about the deeds of the Śrīmac Caitanyacandra, and absorbed in the ocean of bhāva for the Daughter of Vṛṣabhānu and Śrī Kṛṣṇa.”

“Bearing the torso of a lion, a sweet, sweet smile between the sides of his cheeks, various astonishing and incomprehensible transformations of ujjvala-rasa, and luster delightful like the interior of an open golden lotus, may the figure of Mādhava united with Rādhā protect us.”
