“I fall at the feet of Śrīla Śrīdhar-Deva,
who with charming expression sings his songs of sweet nectar.
Dressed with fine garments like sun newly-risen,
he’s the true saint the devotees have chosen.
His detachment and knowledge are just like an ocean,
the treasure-house of complete, perfect conclusion.
Radiant in Pastimes of loving devotion,
the abode of pure ecstasy, bestower of good fortune;
foremost true follower of Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta,
foremost great general of the whole renounced order,
my lord and my master, my only shelter,
I worship his feet, Śrīla Śrīdhar-Deva.”
