nama om visnu-padaya
krsna-presthaya bhu-tale
srimate [spiritual master’s name] iti namine
I offer my respectful obeisances unto [spiritual master’s name], who is very dear to Lord Krsna, having taken shelter at His lotus feet.

You may then chant the following prayer to the Lord:
pratah prabodhito visno
hrsikesena yat tvaya
yad yat karayasisana tat karomi tavajnaya
O Visnu, O Isana, O Hrsikesa, You have awakened me, and now I am ready to do whatever You wish today. [Visnu-dharmottara, quoted in Hari-bhakti-vilasa 3.91]

O Visnu, O Isana, O Hrsikesa, You have awakened me, and now I am ready to do whatever You wish today. [Visnu-dharmottara, quoted in Hari-bhakti-vilasa 3.91]
Before rising you may pray to Mother Earth:
samudra-vasane devi
parvata-stana-mandite
visnu-patni namas tubhyam pada-sparsam ksamasva me
O Mother Earth, I offer my humble obeisances unto you, who are the wife of Lord Visnu and the residence of the oceans, and who are decorated with mountains. Please forgive me for stepping upon you.

Rise up and fold up your bedding. The Hari-bhakti-vilasa recommends several verses you may chant upon awakening to glorify the Lord and counteract bad dreams. The following verse, spoken by Sukadeva Gosvami, is a favorite of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s followers:
jayati jana-nivaso
devaki-janma-vado
yadu-vara-parisat svair dorbhir asyann adharmam
sthira-cara-vrjina-ghnah susmita-sri-mukhena
vraja-pura-vanitanam vardhayan kama-devam
Lord Sri Krsna is He who is known as Jana-nivasa, the ultimate resort of all living entities, and who is also known as Devaki-nandana or Yasoda-nandana, the son of Devaki and Yasoda. He is the guide of the Yadu dynasty, and with His mighty arms He kills everything inauspicious, as well as every man who is impious. By His presence He destroys all things inauspicious for all living entities, moving and inert. His blissful smiling face always increases the lusty desires of the gopis of Vrndavana. May He be all glorious and happy! [Srimad-Bhagavatam 10.90.48]
