offer my respectful obeisances unto Çré Caitanya
I Mahäprabhu and Çré Nityänanda Prabhu, whose
long arms extend to Their knees. They have splendid
golden complexions, and They inaugurated the congregational
chanting of the holy names of the Lord. Their
eyes resemble the petals of lotus flowers. They are the
maintainers of all the worlds, the best of the brähmaëas,
and the protectors of the religious principles for this
age. They bring happiness to the people of the world
and are the most merciful of all incarnations.

O my Lord! You eternally exist in the past, present,
future, yet You are the son of Jagannätha Miçra. I offer
my repeated obeisances unto You, along with Your
servants, Your sons, and Your consorts.

to His gosvämé disciples, or the different forms of bhakti, such as the
