sataso 'tha namami tam ista-varam [1]

He is devoted to distributing the nectar of the rasa of devotion to Hari. His lustrous form, by which hundreds of beautiful moons are defamed, is worshipped by the seekers of the highest truth. I thus bow thousands of times to him, my beloved master.

varadam subhadan cha susanda-padam
pada-nirdhuta-durjaya-durga-dalam
dalaniya-sudurnaya-vada-bhidam
bhid-abheda-yuta tad-achintya-matim [2]

His most auspicious feet bestow blessings and good fortune, and break through the unshakable, impenetrable fortress (of material existence). With his conception of inconceivable difference and nondifference, he cuts apart unruly ideologies that need to be destroyed.

mati-majjana-mrgya-subhakti-param
paramarsi-gananchana-mauli-manim
mani-srnga-nibham hari-rupa-vibhum
vibhu-krsna-krpamrta-dharttr-varam [3]

His consciousness is immersed in the highest, most sought after pure devotion. He is the crown jewel to whom the greatest sages bow. Resembling the sun, he is a powerful master and form of the Lord. He is the beloved carrier of the nectar of Lord Krsna's mercy.

vara-nama-sudha-rasa-pana-param
paramesvara-sevaka-gita-gunam
guna-raji-samujjvala-vandya-padam
pada-pankaja-bhrnga-ganan cha bhaje [4]

He is immersed in drinking the rasa of the nectar of the highest Name, and his glories are sung by the Supreme Lord's servants. His worshippable, lotus feet are radiant with rays of virtues and surrounded by bee-like devotees. I worship him.

kanaka-suruchirangam sundaram saumya-murtim
vibudha-kula-varenyam sri-gurum siddhi-purtim
taruna-tapana-vasam bhaktidan chid-vilasam
bhaja bhaja tu mano re sridharam sam-vidhanam [5]

His beautiful, radiant golden figure, dressed in garments resembling the rising sun and worshipped by the wise, he is the embodiment of serenity. He is the giver of pure devotion, granter of all perfections, and manifestation of the divine play. O mind! Always serve this maker of your fortune manifest in the form of Śri Guru, Śrila Śridhar Swami.
