I offer my respectful obeisances to the Supreme Personality of

Godhead, whose form is like blue lotus flower, who wears golden

ornaments, who possesses a multitude of eternal transcendental

qualities and opulences, and who bears the name Sri Krsna.

 

Appearing in this world with Srila Santana Goswami and Srila Rupa

Goswami, and bringing great tidal waves to the ocean of transcendental

bliss, may the wonderful and splendid rising moon of Sri Caitanya

Mahaprabhu dispel the darkness within our hearts.

 

Note: If the word sanatana is interpreted to mean " eternal " and if the

word rupam is interpreted to mean " form, " then this verse may be

understood in the following way: " Revealing its eternal transcendental

form in this world, and bringing great tidal waves to the ocean of

transcendental bliss, may the wonderful and splendid rising moon of

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu dispel the darkness within our hearts. "

love, and because of His host of friends and relatives, great poets
