    • “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.”
