Srila Krsnadasa Kaviraja prays, "First I offer my respects unto the lotus feet of my initiating spiritual masters and the recruiting spiritual masters and advanced Vaisnavas. Next I offer my obeisances to my sastra gurus, Srila Rupa Goswami, his elder brother, Srila Sanatana Goswami, Srila Raghunatha dasa Goswami, and Jiva Goswami. On a higher platform I offer my respects unto Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who came with his paraphernalia and associates, along with those great personalities Sri Nityananda Prabhu and Sri Advaita Acharyya. And in the highest stage, I offer my obeisances unto the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha and Govinda, and all of the gopis, headed by Lalita and Visakha devi."

Caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri-gurave namah

Applying the soothing salve of sambandha-jnana, a proper acquaintance with the environment, my spiritual master has opened my inner eye and thereby rescued me from the darkness of ignorance, fulfilling my life's aspirations. I offer my respects unto Sri Gurudeva.

I worship the holy lotus feet of he who perfectly fulfils the most cherished with of his divine master; who is adorned resplendently with the blessings of his guruvarga; who is adept in all Vedic conceptions, both conceivable and inconceivable; who is the faithful follower in the line of Sri Rupa; who is known as Srila Govinda Maharaja; whose beautiful divine figure revels in the mellows of divine love; who is the guru of the entire universe and the bestower of the seed of divine love for the Supreme Lord.

"I fall at the feet of Srila Sridhar-Deva, who with charming expression sings his songs of sweet nectar. Dressed with fine garments like sun newly-risen, he's the true saint the devotees have chosen. His detachment and knowledge are just like an ocean, the treasure-house of complete, perfect conclusion. Radiant in pastimes of loving devotion, the abode of pure ecstasy, bestower of good fortune; foremost true follower of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta, foremost great general of the whole renounced order, my lord and my master, my only shelter, I worship his feet, Srila Sridhar-Deva."

"In the great Gaudiya Vaisnava teachers line, as Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati he's renowned. Like the radiant sun in the morning sky, he appeared to rescue all souls swallowed by the all-devouring impersonal philosophy. By spreading the teaching of Lord Gauranga to sing the Holy Name of Lord Gauranga to sing the Holy Name of Lord Sri Krsna, he gave all the chance to dive in the ocean of love of Sri Krsna, the Supreme Person. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta, my lord, divine master- at his feet do I pray to serve him forever."

"The great venerable Grandsire of pure devotion, loved by all Vaisnavas of both Nabadwip and Vrndavana- I worship the feet of that great Vaisnava Guru, the ocean of love, Srila Jagannatha Prabhu."

I bow down unto the holy feet of the pure Vaisnavas, who are like desire trees able to fulfil all the devotees' aspirations. The Lord's devotees are comparable to a vast ocean of causeless mercy, as they deliver the fallen souls from material existence. I offer all respects unto them.

bhaktavataram bhaktakhyam namami bhakta-saktikam

I offer my obeisances unto Lord Krsna in His five-fold aspect known as the panca-tattva: I offer my respects unto Sri Gaurangadeva, who appears as a devotee of the Lord relishing his own internal mellows. Furthermore I bow down before Lord Nityananda Prabhu, who is the self-same form and elder brother of Sri Gauranga. Next, I pay homage unto that great personality Sri Advaita Prabhu, who is an incarnation of the Lord's devotee, and unto the Lord's eternal associates like Srivasa Pandita, who serve the Lord in loving devotional relationships. Finally, I bow down at the feet of those devotees who hold the actual potency of unalloyed dedication in their hands: Sri Ramananda Raya, Sri Gadadhara Pandita, and Sri Svarupa Damodara.

I offer my obeisances unto Lord Gauranga, whose divine complexion is a radiant golden hue and who posses the qualities of the most benevolent incarnation. His spiritual pastimes freely grant pure love for Lord Krsna to all. He is none other than Lord Krsna known in Kali-yuga as Sri Krsna Chaitanya.

O Sri Sri Radha-Madanamohana, I am a helpless cripple and my meagre intelligence is absorbed in the vile material sense objects. Kindly let deep devotional attachment arise for the exclusive wealth of my life, which is your lotus foot. May Your Lordships, who are so compassionate and affectionate, be forever victorious!

I constantly meditate upon that Divine Couple Sri Sri Gandharvva-Govinda, who are seated upon a wonderful throne highly decorated with brilliant jewels. They are sitting within the illustrious forest of Vraja, beneath a mind attracting desire tree, accompanied by Their dedicated servitors such as Sri Rupa Manjari, Lalita Devi, and other intimate servants like the priyanarma sakhis.

Sri Gopinatha, who instigates the exchange of devotional mellows, is standing upon the banks of the Yamuna River at the special place known as Vamsivata. There, the sweet tune of His flute is naturally attracting the hearts of the cowherd maidens of Vraja Dham. May that charming Lord bring us within His auspicious embrace.

I eternally offer my respects unto Sri Vrndadevi, Srimati Tulasi Maharani, who is the dearmost object of Lord Kesava's affection. I bow down before Satyavati who can bestow pure dedication unto Lord Krsna.

vyasan jagat-gurun natva tato mudirayet

Then, let me bow down before all my spiritual masters: the guru who gave me the divine mantra, as well as all those who have taught me the meaning of Srimad Bhagavatam. Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto Srila Vyasadeva, the spiritual master of the entire universe and the giver of the all-conquering conclusions of Srimad Bhagavatam.

jayah sa-parikara sri-sri-guru-gauranga-gandharvva-govinda-sundarapadapadmanam jayastu!

Let the holy lotus feet of Sri Gurudeva, Sriman Mahaprabhu, and Sri Sri Gandharvva-Govindasundara, along with their eternal associates, be victorious over all!

I offer my humble obeisances unto His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who is Krsna's beloved associate and who came down to this plane from Goloka. Taking the order of his guru on his head, he is the saktyavesa (empowered) avatar of Nityananda Prabhu personified. He distributed the Hare Krsna mantra all over the Eastern and Western world, delivering and uplifting all fallen souls. He is the best of millions of jagat-gurus, because he is the personification of divine mercy. He has distributed the sweet nectar of Srimad-Bhagavatam and the transcendental knowledge of Bhagavad-gita all over the world. He is constantly engaged in exclusive devotional service to Srila Bhakti Siddhant saraswati Thakura, Srila Rupa Goswami, and Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu. I offer my humble obeisances unto Srila Prabhupada, who is like a bumble-bee always tasting the nectar of the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha and Govinda.
