Although the BBT translation of this song mentions Çréla Çrénivasa Äcärya
as the “äcärya öhäkura” that Çréla Narottama däsa Öhakura was referring to in
the second line of this song. It is generally understood among the Gauòiya
Vaiñëavas that the line refers to Advaita Äcärya. Prärthanä was composed by
Çréla Narottama däsa Öhakura during the lifetime of Çréla Çréniväsa Äcärya, as
they were both contemporaries. Çré Gauòéya Vaiñëava Abhidäna states the
disappearance of Çréla Çrénivasa Äcärya to be 1610, while Çréla Narottama däsa
Öhäkura disappeared in 1611.

Because this song has been composed by Çré Bhaktisiddhänta Sarasvaté
Öhäkura, he has placed his name at the end of the song, as is customarily done
by Vaiñëava poets. In order to glorify Çré Bhaktisiddhänta Sarasvaté Öhäkura
and his beloved disciple Çré A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupäda as
spiritual teachers in the preceptorial succession from Çré Caitanyadeva, the
following verse has been added and may be optionally sung instead of the
song's ninth verse.
