śrī-gopāla kathāmṛtaṁ
gurudeva prīti-padam
śrī -guru caritāmṛtam
śrī gopāla śukha-padam
ta carita prakāśarthī
ahaṁ patita-pāmarāḥ
gopāla karuṇaleśaḥ
kevalaṁ mama saṁbhalam
The nectarean topic of Gopal bring pleasure to my Gurudeva, and the descriptions of the nectarean pastimes of Gurudeva brings happiness to Gopal. Being wicked and fallen, I have no ability to write of this topics. The mercy of Gopal is my only strength.
kastūrī-tilakaṁ lalāṭa-paṭale vakṣaḥ-sthale kaustubham
nāsāgre vara-mautikaṁ kara-tale veṇuḥ kare kaṅkaṇam
sarvāṅge hari-candanaṁ su-lalitaṁ kaṇṭhe ca muktāvalī
gopa-strī-parive pariveṣṭito vijayate gopāla- cūḍā- maṇiḥ
All glories to the crest jewel of cowherd boys known as Gopal, who has a musk tilaka-mark on His forehead, the kaustubha jewel on His chest, a graceful pearl on the tip of His nose, a flute in His hand, a bracelet on His wrist, graceful sandalwood paste on all of His limbs, a necklace of pearls on His neck, and who is surrounded by a host op gopīs.
