- परब्रह्मापीडः कुवलयदलोत्फुल्लनयनो निवासी नीलाद्रौ निहितचरणोऽनन्तशिरसि ।
- Wearer of supreme Brahman as a crown, lotus-blossom eyes, dweller on Nilachala, feet placed on the head of Ananta.
- रसानन्दो राधासरसवपुरालिङ्गनसखो जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयनपथगामी भवतु मे ॥६॥
- Delight of the rasa dance, friend who embraces Radha's essence-form: may Jagannatha, my Lord, come within the path of my eyes.
He who wears Brahman as crown and rests on Ananta is the supreme reality appearing in divine form. The bliss of Radha's embrace is the bliss of the Self recognizing its own radiance in devotion.
