Well, I found out that "he krishna karuna sindho..." is likely from the Gopala-tapani Upanisad. Some source attributes it to verse 47 of chapter one. Another source, a translation by Kusakratha with commentaries by Vishvanath Cakravarti Thakur and Baladeva Vidyabhusana, doesn't mention it at all. "Tapta kancana gaurangi..." apparently is verse 8 from a poem called Radha-stuti. No clue about the author. "Namo maha vadanyaya..." is by Rupa Goswami(?). Sambandhadhideva Pranama, Abhidheyadhideva Pranama and Prayojanadhideva Pranama are from Krishna dasa Kaviraja(?). Hoping this meets you well and in the best of health, Y.s.

Gopala-tapani Upanisad I.47 is the verse beginning "amum panca-padam mantra avartayed yah sa yaty..." - "Whoever chants the fivefold mantra will easily attain the undivided realm of liberation [described in Isopanisad]: 'The Lord, though fixed in his above, is swifter than the mind, so none of the gods can capture him, however quickly they may run. He knows before everyone else.'" > "Namo maha vadanyaya..." is by Rupa Goswami(?). This I have also heard. "ajnana-timirandhasya...." and "sri-caitanya-mano 'bhistam" are the first and second verses of the Mangalacaran to Narottama dasa's Prema-bhakti-candrika. They might be him quoting someone else. I do not know. Ys., Rama Kesava dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
