jagannathah svami nayana-patha-gami bhavatu me
Lord Jagannatha is an ocean of mercy and as beautiful as a row of blackish rain clouds. He is the storehouse of bliss for Lakshmi and Sarasvati, and His face resembles a spotless fullblown lotus. The best of demigods and sages worship Him, and the Upanishads sing His glories. May that Jagannatha Svami be the object of my vision.
