- कदाचित्कालिन्दीतटविपिनसङ्गीतकरवो मुदा गोपीनारीवदनकमलास्वादमधुपः ।
- Once, delighting like a bee sipping the honey of the lotus faces of the gopis, making music in the forest on the bank of the Yamuna.
- रमाशम्भुब्रह्मामरपतिगणेशार्चितपदो जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयनपथगामी भवतु मे ॥१॥
- Whose feet are worshipped by Rama, Shambhu, Brahma, Indra, and Ganesha: may Jagannatha, my Lord, come within the path of my eyes.
The Lord who once sang in Vrindavan's groves is the same whose feet the gods adore. When he enters the devotee's vision, the mind beholds the one Self that was always present behind every sacred name.
