Śrī Caitanya Nāma Stotram
Prayers Glorifying Lord Caitanya's Holy Names
Lord Caitanya has a fair complexion (śrī-gaurāṅga), He is full of spiritual bliss (cid-ānanda). He is Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself (kṛṣṇa), Kṛṣṇa who manifests the form of Caitanya (caitanya-vigraha). He resides in Navadvīpa (navadvīpa-nivāsī). He is Jagannātha Miśra's son (jagannātha-suta).
He is the most perfect and complete Lord (pūrṇottama). He is the Supreme Brahman (paraṁ brahma) manifesting the form of a sannyāsī (sannyāsi-rūpa-dhāraka). He is the maintainer of all the worlds (viśvambhara). He si the friend of the poor (dīna-bandhu). He gives the gift of Lord Hari's holy names (hari-nāma-pradāyaka).
A person who even only once recites these twelve holy names attains, by Lord Gaurāṅga's mercy, ecstatic spiritual love and devotion for the Lord.
I offer my respectful obesiances to the lotus feet of the Lord, whose form is effulgent like gold (suvarṇa-varṇa and hemāṅga). His limbs are fair (gaurāṅga). He is Śacī's son (sacī-nandana). Within His heart He is dark Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself (abhyantare śyāma-varṇa).
