Translation
O beautiful, fair-complexioned Lord Caitanyadeva, I offer respectful obeisances unto You. O Lord, O delight of Saci-devi, O crest-jewel of the sannyasis, please protect me.
O Lord Caitanyadeva, O decoration of Nilacala (Jagannatha Puri), O Lord whose face is smiling and whose arms reach down to Your knees, O preacher of the glories of the nectarean Holy Name of the Lord througout the universe,
O Lord Caitanyadeva, You praise Advaita Acarya and You delight Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya. You are affectionate to Ramananda Raya, and You are the friend of all the Vaisnavas.
O Lord Caitanyadeva, O great ocean of the nectar of pure love for the lotus feet of Krishna, I offer respectful obeisances unto You. Do You sometimes remember me, the most wretched of all wretched people?
