Prologue 9

Däsa. I worship the fortunate physician Çré Gopäla Däsa, and the
brähmaëas Çyäma-rasika and Govinda. Let me worship Madana-
mohana Däsa, Dvija Gadädhara, Dvija Balabhadra, and Vaàçé,
the best of the brähmaëas. I worship the greatly fortunate Dvija
Puruñottama. Çyämänanda Prabhu was his life and soul. I worship
the brähmaëa Dämodara and Çyämänanda Däsa, whose only
abode was the lotus feet of Çyämänanda. He and his entire family
were sold to the lotus feet of Çyämänanda. They knew nothing but
guru, sadhu, and Kåñëa.
I worship Çré Mathurä Däsa, an eminent devotee who dedicated
all his wealth and subordinates to Çyämänanda. He was a favorite
disciple of Çyämänanda and an embodiment of pure devotion.
Çyämänanda Prabhu was his very life. I worship Dvija Haridäsa,
Vanamälé, Rädhä-Kåñëa, Dharämbara, the vaiçya Näräyaëa,
Gauräìga, Puruñottama, Mädhava, Dvija Gopäla, Manohara, and
Bhüdeva. I worship Govinda Bhaööäcärya, who lived in East Bengal,
where he preached the teachings of Çyämänanda. I worship Çré
Kiçora Däsa, Känu Däsa, Çré Gopa Mathurä Däsa, Rasamaya Däsa,
Çré Gauräìga Däsa, and Manohara Däsa. I worship all the followers
of Çyämänanda wherever they may reside. I worship Nélämbara
Däsa, Çré Ananta Räya, and Sanätana Mahäçaya. I gladly worship
Öhäkura Viñëudäsa, who always remained with Rasika.

I worship Öhäkuräëé Çyämadäsé, the wife of Rasika and an
embodiment of pure devotion. She was a disciple of Çyämänanda,
a devoted wife and like a mother to all. All the world knows that
she worshiped Govinda throughout her life. I worship Çré Devaké,
the daughter of Rasika. She was a disciple of Çyämänanda and the
eldest daughter of Rasika. I worship Rädhänanda Öhäkura, the son
of Rasika and a favorite disciple of Çyämänanda, endowed with
all auspicious qualities. He was always absorbed in the mellows of
Kåñëa consciousness. His mind would become bewildered in pure
love, and all his limbs would be moistened by the tears flowing
