          mahäntas (another group of leading devotees in the pastimes of
          Lord Caitanya). I happily worship the devotees of the gurukula,
          the great devotee Balaräma Öhäkura, and Haridäsa. I worship
          Govinda Gosvämé and Maheça Öhäkura, as well as the special
          devotee lady, Durlabhä Öhäkuräëé.
          I worship Çré Hådayänanda, the light of his dynasty, and bow down
          to the lotus feet of all his servants and family members. I offer
          humble obeisance to all the devotees along with all their associates
          and servants. They are reservoirs of all good qualities. I worship all
          brähmaëas and ascetics, the seven oceans and the earth with all
          moving and non-moving beings. I worship all the holy places with
          special respect. Indeed, just by hearing about these holy places one
          can awaken devotion for Lord Kåñëa. I worship Çré Våndävana,
          Madana Gopäla, Çré Govinda, Gopénätha, Bäìkä-bihäré, and
          Rädhä-vallabha, the beautiful glossy Lord. I worship Kälindé, the
          river Yamunä, and all of Vraja.
          I worship Gokula, Mathurä, and Çré Keçava Räya, who can remove
          the sins from one who hears of their glories. I worship Yädava
          Räya, the owner of Gokula. I worship Gopäla Räya, the holder
          of Govardhana. I worship Dvärakä, the abode of Raëacora Räya,
          which is more famous than Vaikuëöha as an abode of Lord Kåñëa.
          I worship Badarikäçrama along with Nara-Näräyaëa. I worship
          Naimiñäraëya, Prabhäsa, and Puñkara, as well as the Gaëòaké,
          Gomaté, Godävaré, Narmadä, Sarasvaté, Sindhu, and Käveré
          rivers. I worship the famous holy places of Ayodhyä, Kurukñetra,
          and Setubandha, which are all related to Lord Hari. I worship
          Hastinäpura, the place of the Päëòavas, where Lord Kåñëa lived for
          the sake of His devotees. I worship Käïcé and Avantikä (Ujjain),
          holy places of great merit. Age after age, Lord Hari resides in the
          seven holy cities (Mathurä, Dvärakä, Mäyäpura, Ayodhyä, Avanté,
          Käïcé, and Käçé). I worship Çré Puruñottama, the Lord of Néläcala. I
          worship Gayä, Gaìgä, Väräëasé, Prayäga, and the other holy places.
