1. Sometimes in great happiness Lord Jagannatha, with His flute, makes a loud concert inthe groves on the banks of the Yamuna. He is like a bumblebee who tastes the beautiful

lotus-like faces of the cowherd damsels of Vraja, and His lotus feet are worshiped bygreat personalities such as Lakshmi, Siva, Brahma, Indra and Ganesa. May that

Jagannatha Swami be the object of my vision.

2. In His left hand Lord Jagannatha 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 Hiseyes He bestows sidelong glances upon His loving devotees and He always reveals

Himself through His pastimes in His divine abode of Vrindavana. May that Jagannatha

Swami be the object of my vision.

3. Residing on the shore of the great ocean, within a large palace situated upon the crestof the brilliant, golden Nilacala Hill, along with His powerful brother Bala-bhadra, and in

the middle of Them His sister Subhadra, Lord Jagannatha bestows the opportunity for

devotional service upon all godly souls. May that Jagannatha Swami be the object of myvision.

4. Lord Jagannatha is an ocean of mercy and He is beautiful like a row of blackish rain

clouds. He is the storehouse of bliss for Lakshmi and Sarasvati, and His face is like a

spotless full-blown lotus. He is worshiped by the best of demigods and sages, and Hisglories are sung by the Upanishads. May that Jagannatha Swami be the object of my

vision.

5. When Lord Jagannatha is on His Ratha-yatra cart and is moving along the road, at

every step there is a loud presentation of prayers and songs chanted by large assemblies

of brahmanas. Hearing their hymns Lord Jagannatha is very favorably disposed towardsthem. He is the ocean of mercy and the true friend of all the worlds. May that Jagannatha

Swami, along with His consort Lakshmi, who was born from the ocean of nectar, be the

object of my vision.

6. He is the ornament of the head of Lord Brahma and His eyes are like the full-blownpetals of the lotus. He resides on the Nilacala Hill, and His lotus feet are placed on the

heads of Ananta deva. Lord Jagannatha is overwhelmed by the mellows of love and He

becomes joyful in the embracing of the body of Sri Radharani, which is like a cool pond.May that Jagannatha Swami be the object of my vision.

7. 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 Jagannatha Swami,whose glories are always sung by Lord Siva, be the constant object of my vision.

hara tvam samsaram druta-taram asaram sura-pate

hara tvam papanam vitatim aparam yadava-pate

aho dine nathe nihita-carano niscitam idam


8. 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 noshore. Alas, this is certain that Lord Jagannathas lotus feet are bestowed upon those who

feel themselves fallen and have no shelter in this world but Him. May that Jagannatha

Swami be the object of my vision.
