hari pada tē gaṅgā bhayō,
tisa jala puni abhisēka|
jō santani mukha hama sunau,
nija mati karayō lēkha||1|
sōhi grantha arapana karū,
vaiṣṇava kara-kamalāra|
yahī āsa harigaura jasa,
phailē saba sansāra||2|    

Rendition: The Ganges, who cleanses the sins of the sinners, has appeared from the Lotus Feet of Bhagavān Śrī-Hari, but the same Ganges-water is used for bathing The Lord in His Diety (Mūrti or Śāligrāma) form. In the same way, whatever glory (of Gaurāṅga & Nityānanda Prabhu) have I heard from the lotus mouth of Saints, I have compiled in this booklet as per my understanding.|1| Now, I offer this booklet into the hands of all such saints (Vaiṣṇavas). I have only one desire in my heart, that the glories of Gaura-Hari are sung in the whole world, far & wide.|2|
