TRANSLATION<br />

By seeing the tulasé tree my heart feels joy and Lord Mädhava (Kåñëa) is<br />

also satisfied. When I eat the prasäda favored by Lord Caitanya it is a new life's<br />

experience. (Lord Caitanya was very fond of a green vegetable preparation<br />

called sak, and there is another song in this book that tells of the amazing<br />

effects of this type of prasäda.)<br />
