O Srila Prabhupada, your beautiful lotus feet are cherished by millions and millions of the purest and most qualified devotees, and you are the most competent personality to preach the recognized process for this era. Your sacred lotus feet are adorable, as they openly grant fearlessness and bestow the highest benediction to all living entities. I eternally offer my respects unto that charming effulgence that shines from the radiant lotus toe-tips of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada. 

You shine forth as the natural leading monarch among the high class of devotees, and you are the exclusive, ultimate aim of the truly fallen due to your far-reaching merciful embrace. Your inconceivable lotus feet bestow full shelter for the cheaters and the cheated. 

Your divine figure is so graceful and delicate, your skin so soft, and your towering form so radiant and golden. Your overwhelmingly beautiful appearance mocks the pride of golden lotus stems as countless Cupids offer their humble respects to your lotus toes which are like glowing white petals of the radiant moon. 

Like the charming moon which pleases its orbiting stars, you are surrounded by your intimate disciples and are fulfilling their hearts’ desires. Your lion-like roar causes the envious to tremble and quickly flee while your tender toes gracefully bestow the ultimate benefit for the innocent. 

You have widely spread the glories of Sri Gauranga’s holy abode, Sri Mayapura-dhama, and you have openly declared the nature of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s mercy throughout the universe. Your graceful personality has planted the lotus of Gauranga’s holy feet in the hearts of your deserving servitors.

As the universal holy master you are the eternal refuge for Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s devotees. You are always dedicated to serving your holy master Srila Gaurakisora, and you are a careful servant of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura’s lotus feet.

The intense magnitude of your devotion allows you a glorious position within that intimate group of Raghunatha dasa, Sanatana and Rupa Gosvamis. Your happy and elevated philosophical conceptions have crowned and seated you along with the esteemed personality, Srila Jiva Gosvami. And you share friendly relations with Krsnadasa Kaviraja and Narottama dasa, being as dear to them as their very own lives.

You serve the living entities by mercifully revealing your divine personality as the embodiment of hari-kirtana, and by so doing, eliminate the offenses which burden the earth. Your loving disposition to the followers of Gauranga Mahaprabhu is more affectionate than even a father. 

Just like a transcendental desire tree, you fulfill all the desires of the Lord’s unalloyed servants. Your firm and patient nature insults the tolerant disposition of a tree, what to speak of your benevolence. The purity of your divine lotus feet attracts the worship of the great demigods like Durga-devi and Indra.

Being the storehouse-keeper of life’s highest wealth, pure krsna-prema, you surpass all the other great maha-bhagavata devotees! Simply to rescue the fallen souls, you accepted the dress of a renunciate. Hence, your divine lotus feet are adorable in every respect for the greatest stalwart sannyasis.

Once you are an exclusive servitor of Vrsabhanu-nandini Srimati Radhika, my bold aspiration is to take full shelter as a minute atomic particle of that shining dust that clings to your beautiful lotus feet. Your wonderful sakti can deliver the whole world. I eternally offer my respects unto that charming effulgence that shines forth from the radiant lotus toe-tips of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada!
