oṁ ajñāna-timirāndhasya
jñānāñjana-śalākayā
cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena
tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ
I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the torch of knowledge. I offer my respectful obeisances unto him.
ājānu-lambita-bhujau kanakāvadātau
saṅkīrtanaika-pitarau kamalāyatākṣau
viśvambharau dvija-varau yuga-dharma-pālau
vande jagat priya-karau karuṇāvatārau
I pay my homage unto the most merciful Lords Śrī Vishvambara (Śrī Krsna Caitanya) and Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu, whose long arms extend to Their knees, whose complexion are more shining then gold. They inaugurated the sankirtana movement. Their eyes remind me of the petals of lotus flowers. Although they are the source of the entire universe, They appear in respected brahmanas families to protect the religious principles for this era and to bestow the topmost happiness to all the living souls of this world.
vande śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya-
nityānandau sahoditau
gauḍodaye puṣpavantau
citrau śan-dau tamo-nudau
I offer my respectful obeisances unto Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya and Lord Nityānanda, who are like the sun and moon. They have arisen simultaneously on the horizon of Gauḍa to dissipate the darkness of ignorance and thus wonderfully bestow benediction upon all.
vande 'ham sri rama krsnau
abhaya caranau sakhau
sukhadau paramanandau
sundaru subalau priyau
I worship Sri Sri Rama Krsna the two friends who feet bestow fearlessness, who give happiness, who are full of the greatest bliss, who are beautiful and who are dear to Subala. If you sing "carana" instead of "caranau" it translates--I worship Sri Sri Rama Krsna, the friends of Srila Prabhupada who give happiness.
he kṛṣṇa karuṇā-sindho dīna-bandho jagat-pate
gopeśa gopikā-kāntarādhā-kānta namo ‘stu te
O my dear Krishna, ocean of mercy, You are the friend of the distressed and the source of creation. You are the master of the cowherdmen and the lover of the gopīs, especially Rādhārāṇī. I offer my respectful obeisances unto You.
tapta-kāñcana-gaurāṅgi rādhe vṛndāvaneśvari
vṛṣabhānu-sute devī praṇamāmi hari-priye
I offer my respects to Rādhārāṇī, whose bodily complexion is like molten gold and who is the Queen of Vṛndāvana. You are the daughter of King Vṛṣabhānu, and You are very dear to Lord Kṛṣṇa.
