Çré Çyämänanda is a gem of kindness and a mine of extreme joy. He
is an ocean of benevolence and the reservoir of the beauty of the
three worlds. In him rests the abode and essence of love and good
fortune. He is the only resort of the aggrieved, the supreme jewel
of transcendental pastimes, and a gem of mercy. His intelligence
is saturated with the mellow of conjugal love.

I bow down to Çré Rasikänanda, who is like the sun. He is the giver
of deep joy, a possessor of the conjugal mellow of love of God and
a mine of deep feelings for Kåñëa. He can bring peace to our minds
and remove the darkness of ignorance. He is the well-wisher of the
devotees and the extinguisher of all miseries. He is the source of a
stream of nectar, a treasure-house of the wealth of mercy, and the
deliverer of the poor.
