All glories to the Supreme Personality of Godhead,
Çré Kåñëa Caitanyacandra! All glories to His eternally
pure fame! All glories to the servants of the great master
of the worlds! All glories to the dancing of His beloved
associates!
First I offer my unlimited obeisances to the feet of the loving

Viçvambhara. That same Supreme Personality of Godhead has

obeisances unto my worshipable Lord, Çré Nityänanda Räya.

the jewellery case of Lord Ananta’s mouths.
I thus offer my prayers to Lord Balaräma so that the glories
of Lord Caitanya Mahäprabhu will manifest from my mouth.
Lord Balaräma is thousand-headed Lord Ananta and all His activities
are extraordinary. The Supreme Lord, Balaräma, carries
