Translation:
1) I offer my respectful obeisances to the beautiful son of Sri Sacidevi. His superexcellent spiritual body is a
brilliant golden colour. He is incessantly churned by sublime transcendental ecstasies. A tiny fraction of His
mercy is able to deliver all the three worlds.
2) I offer my respectful obeisances to the beautiful son of Sri Sacidevi. His transcendental form
manifests transformations of ecstasy such as faltering of the voice. The mighty sound of His voice chastises
wicked men. His mercy dispels the fear of all that causes repeated birth and death.
3) I offer my respectful obeisances to the beautiful son of Sri Sacidevi. He wears garments the colour of the rays of
the rising sun. The radiance of his beautiful cheeks and nails puts to shame the moon. He takes delight in
uttering the glories of His own transcendental qualities and holy name.
4) I offer my respectful obeisances to the beautiful son of Sri Sacidevi. Streams of ecstatic tears flow from His
lotus eyes. He is ornamented with transformations of ecstasy caused by ever-new loving mellows. His pastimes
of dancing exhibit very slow and graceful movements.
5) I offer my respectful obeisances to the beautiful son of Sri Sacidevi. The nimble movements of His
beautiful dancing feet, adorned by sweetly twinkling anklets, are very pleasing. His soothing brilliant
face surpasses the cooling rays of the moon.
6) I offer my respectful obeisances to the beautiful son of Sri Sacidevi. His wonderful divine form is graced by
a shaven head and adorned with the loincloth of a mendicant, the sannyasa staff and waterpot. Such a form of
His chastises wicked souls and destroys their sins.
7) I offer my respectful obeisances to the beautiful son of Sri Sacidevi. As a householder, His face is surrounded
by locks of dark hair, decorated with the dust of the earth. His excellent lips, which are red like the bimba
fruit, are beautified by their trembling in ecstasy. Upon His forehead He wears brilliant tilak made of
sandalwood paste.
8) I offer my respectful obeisances to the beautiful son of Sri Sacidevi. The glowing beauty of His lotus-petal
eyes surpasses that of the rising sun. His two splendid arms extend down to His knees. His divine body is
dressed in the fashion of an adolescent dancer.
