कलि घोर तिमिरे गरासल जग जन

The horrible darkness of Kali-yuga swallowed the people of the world. Religion and pious deeds fled far away. Into that situation very merciful Lord Gaura brought a cintāmaṇi jewel.

My brothers! O, my brothers! No one has the power to describe all of Lord Gaura's glories. How many Ganeśas and how many Brahmās may try to describe Him? They have no power to describe all of His glories?

Of what use is a person's learning if he studies the four Vedas and the six systems of philosophy, but does not worship Lord Gaurāṅga? He is like a person without eyes. He is like a blind man trying to see himself in a mirror. Of what use is all his studying?

A person who does not know that Lord Gaurāṅga is the Supreme does not know anything of Vedas or philosophy. Nayanānanda says: A person who knows that Lord Gaurāṅga is the Supreme knows everything. All mystic powers rest in the palm of his hand.
