I eternally offer my respects unto Śrī Vṛndādevī, Śrīmatī Tulasī Mahārāṇī, who is the dearmost object of Lord Keśava’s affection. I bow down before Satyavatī who can bestow pure dedication unto Lord Krishna.

Then, let me bow down before all my spiritual masters: the guru who gave me the divine mantra, as well as all those who have taught me the meaning of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto Śrīla Vyāsadeva, the spiritual master of the entire universe and the giver of the all-conquering conclusions of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam.
