to this jewel among men. I joyfully worship the brähmaëa Govinda
Däsa, as well as Gopäla, Balabhadra, and Haridäsa. I worship Çré
Govindadeva and the great souls living in Våndävana. I offer
respects to the lotus feet of Lord Çyämasundara and Uddhava. I

Balabhadra. I devotedly prostrate in front of Cintämaëi Däsa
and worship the pure-hearted Çré Rädhä-vallabha Däsa. I worship

hundreds of his disciples.
I worship Çré Änandänanda Dvija Mahäçaya and the sons of
Diväkara who were expert in relishing poetry. In great bliss, I
worship Gopa Mathurä Däsa, Gauòéya Mathurä Däsa, Jagannätha
Däsa, Rädhä-vallabha, Bhüdhara, Rämadäsa, and Çré Caitanya

worship the lotus feet of Çré Kåñëa Däsa, Gopäla Däsa, Mukunda,
Bhüpati, and the poet Çyämänanda Däsa, whose fame has spread
far and wide. I worship the sober Çré Keçava Çiromaëi, and the
saintly Çré Jagannätha who wore a tuft of hair. I joyfully bow down
to Çré Bhågu Puruñottama, as well as Bhüdeva, and Çré Caitanya
