Śrī Rūpa Badane Śrī Saci Kumāra
Lalita-rāga, Eka-tālā and Daśakuśī — (Lalita-rāga, Eka-tālā and Daśakuśī)
Through Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī's mouth Lord Caitanya preached the glories of His own holy names.
Lord Kṛṣṇa is not different from His name. This truth the Vedas sing.
With two times five lamps, moment after moment the Upaniṣads, glistening like jewel necklaces, offer maṅgala-ārati to the feet of the holy name.
Turning away from karma (fruitive work) and jñāna (impersonal speculation), the most fortunate demigods, humans, and demons in the fourteen worlds drink the nectar of the holy name moment after moment.
Singing songs from the Sāma Veda, the eternally liberated souls always worship the holy name in Goloka. They never know separation from the holy name.
With all love I take shelter of the two syllables Ha-ri", which are a spring from which all nectar flows. Falling at the feet of the holy name, Bhaktivinoda says, "I beg for a home at Your feet."
