हृद्वप्रे नवभक्तिशस्यविततेः सञ्जीवनी स्वागमा-
रम्भे कामतपर्तुदाहदमनी विश्वापगोल्लासिनी ।
दूरान्मे मरुशाखिनोऽपि सरसीभावाय भूयात्प्रभु-
श्रीचैतन्यकृपानिरङ्कुशमहामाधुर्यकादम्बिनी ॥
hṛd-vapre nava-bhakti-śasya-vitateḥ sañjīvanī svāgamā-
rambhe kāma-tapa-rtu-dāha-damanī viśvāpagollāsinī |
dūrān me maru-śākhino’pi sarasī-bhāvāya bhūyāt prabhu-

(Mādhurya-kādambinī: 1.1)
“The revitalizer of the grains of young bhakti in the field of the heart, the subduer from its outset of the burning of the hot season of kāma, the delighter of the rivers of the world—may that great, unrestrained cloud bank (kādambinī) of the mellifluousness (mādhurya) of Prabhu Śrī Caitanya’s grace from afar fill even me, a [dry] tree in the desert, with rasa [i.e., water, alt., bhakti-rasa].”
