Sometimes in great happiness Lord Jagannätha, with His flute, makes a loud concert in the
groves on the banks of the Yamunä. He is like a bumblebee who tastes the beautiful lotus-like
faces of the cowherd damsels of Vraja, and His lotus feet are worshiped by great personalities
such as Lakñmé, Çiva, Brahmä, Indra and Gaëeça. May that Jagannätha Svämé be the
object of my vision.

In His left hand Lord Jagannätha holds a flute. On His head He wears the feathers of
peacocks and on His hips He wears fine yellow silken cloth. Out of the corners of His eyes He
bestows sidelong glances upon His loving devotees and he always reveals Himself through
His pastimes in His divine abode of Våndävana. May that Jagannätha Svämé be the object of
my vision.

Residing on the shore of the great ocean, within a large palace situated upon the crest of the
brilliant, golden Néläcala Hill, along with His powerful brother Balabhadra, and in the middle of
Them His sister Subhadrä, Lord Jagannätha bestows the opportunity for devotional service
upon all godly souls. May that Jagannätha Svämé be the object of my vision.”

Lord Jagannätha is an ocean of mercy and He is beautiful like a row of blackish rain clouds.
He is the storehouse of bliss for Lakñmé and Sarasvaté, and His face is like a spotless fullblown
lotus. He is worshiped by the best of demigods and sages, and His glories are sung by
the Upaniñads. May that Jagannätha Svämé be the object of my vision.”

When Lord Jagannätha is on His Ratha-yäträ cart and is moving along the road, at every step
there is a loud presentation of prayers and songs chanted by large assemblies of brähmaëas.
Hearing their hymns Lord Jagannätha is very favorably disposed towards them. He is the
ocean of mercy and the true friend of all the worlds. May that Jagannätha Svämé, along with
His consort Lakñmé, who was born from the ocean of nectar, be the object of my vision.”

He is the ornament of the head of Lord Brahmä and His eyes are like the full-blown petals of
the lotus. He resides on the Néläcala Hill, and His lotus feet are placed on the heads of
Anantadeva. Lord Jagannätha is overwhelmed by the mellows of love and He becomes joyful
in the embracing of the body of Çrématé Rädhäräëé, which is like a cool pond. May that
Jagannätha Svämé be the object of my vision.”

I do not pray for a kingdom, nor for gold, rubies, and wealth. I do not ask for an excellent and
beautiful wife as desired by all men. I simply pray that Jagannätha Svämé, whose glories are
always sung by Lord Çiva, be the constant object of my vision.

O Lord of the demigods, please quickly remove this useless material existence I am
undergoing. O Lord of the Yadus, please destroy this vast ocean of sins which has no shore.
Alas, this is certain that Lord Jagannätha’s lotus feet are bestowed upon those who feel
themselves fallen and have no shelter in this world but Him. May that Jagannätha Svämé be
the object of my vision.
