Auspicious Invocation
ajñāna-timirāndhasya
jñānāñjana-śalākayā
cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena
tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ
अर्थ
I was born in the darkest region of ignorance, and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the torchlight of knowledge. I offer my respectful obeisances unto him.
śrī-caitanya-mano ’bhīṣṭaṁ
sthāpitaṁ yena bhū-tale
svayam rūpaḥ kadā mahyaṁ
dadāti sva-padāntikam
अर्थ
When will Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī Prabhupāda, who has established within this material world the mission to fulfill the desire of Lord Caitanya, give me shelter under his lotus feet?
akhila-rasāmṛta-mūrtiḥ
prasṛmara-ruci-ruddha-tāraka-pāliḥ
kalita-śyāmā-lalito
rādhā-preyān vidhur jayati
अर्थ
May Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, be glorified! By virtue of His ever expanding attractive features, He has subjugated the gopīs named Tārakā and Pālī and absorbed the minds of Śyāmā and Lalitā. He is the dearmost lover of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī and the reservoir of pleasure in all devotional mellows.
