**Caitanya-bhāgavata

Ādi-khaṇḍa Chapter 1 Text 1**

*ājānu-lambita-bhujau kanakāvadatau

saṅkīrtanaika-pitarau kamalāyatakṣau

visvambharau dvija-varau yuga-dharma-pālau

vande jagat priya-karau karuṇāvatārau* 

TRANSLATION

I offer my respectful obeisances unto Śrī Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu, whose arms extend down to Their knees, who have golden yellow complexions, and who inaugurated the congregational chanting of the holy names of the Lord. Their eyes resemble the petals of a lotus flower; They are the maintainers of the living entities, the best of the brāhmaṇas, the protectors of religious principles of this age, the benefactors of the universe, and the most merciful of all incarnations.
