SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SPECIAL POETRY
Sri Dayita-Dasa Pranati Panchakam
(Prayer of Sri Dayita Das)
(By Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj)

He (his holy form) has arisen from the birthplace of golden lotuses, an
(exalted, supramundane) ocean of the nectar of divine consorthood; His large,
merciful eyes dispel (the suffering souls’) fear and proclaim (the
surrendered souls’) victory; His tongue (constantly) vibrates the whole Earth
planet with Sri Krishna-sankirtan; and his beauty, resplendent in the
(saffron) robes of the newly risen sun, purifies the whole universe and
dispels all suffering of material existence – on his holy appearance day, I
again and again bow down to this beloved associate of Sri Vrisabhanu-nandini
as well as all servitors of his lotus feet.

Surrendered devotees who practise spiritual life are eternally protected and
nurtured at his holy lotus feet; He is worshipped by all simple-hearted,
fortunate pious souls; he promises to accept and rectify (even) those who
obstruct the Lord’s service; and, being a fountainhead of mercy towards all
moving and non-moving living entities, he crushes all inauspiciousness in the
universe – on his holy appearance day, I again and again bow down to this
beloved associate of Sri Vrisabhanu-nandini as well as all servitors of his
lotus feet.

Filled with supramundane pastimes, his holy worshippable form is a
(beautiful) embodiment of aspirations cherished by (even) artists and
accomplishments of the inquisitive (in other words, he grants both artists
and pleasure-seekers their wishes); his intelligence surpassing (even) that
of gods, he is the chief personality embodying the opulence of Vaishnav
sannyasis (renunciates bearing a triple staff of a mendicant); and he
is extolled by saints for his exclusive submission to Sri Rupa-Raghunath and
Sri Sanatan and for his superb judgement (endowed with the highest theistic
conception) resembling that of Sri Jivapad – on his holy appearance day, I
again and again bow down to this beloved associate of Sri Vrisabhanu-nandini
as well as all servitors of his lotus feet.

Staying on the bank of Sri Radha Kunda at Svananda Sukhada Kunja, he lives
serving his beloved; adored by Lalita and other Vraja-gopis, he is
extremely dear to Kamala Manjari (Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur), who is renowned
throughout Vrindavan; and he constructs residence for the Supreme Lord with
the tow ropes of the divine glories of Guna Manjari (Srila Gaura Kisor Das
Babaji Maharaj) – on his holy appearance day, I again and again bow down to
this beloved associate of Sri Vrisabhanu-nandini as well as all servitors of
his lotus feet.

Embodying pure joy (bimala-ananda) and pleasing, delighting Bimala
Devi, he manifested his birth pastime at Purusottama Ksetra in the holy land
of Odisha; he displays his pastimes of rescuing the fallen and distributing
mercy (by granting divine love) on the newly discovered sandy banks of the
nine islands of Nabadwip; and, travelling throughout Gaura Dham (Sri Mayapur,
Nabadwip), which is nondifferent from Vraja Dham and Purusottam Dham, he
always preaches about the divine hankering of Vraja, the transcendental abode
of Vaikuntha and the Holy Names of Lord Krishna – on his holy appearance day,
I again and again bow down to this beloved associate of Sri
Vrisabhanu-nandini as well as all servitors of his lotus feet.
