yat krishna-pranipata-dhuli-dhavalam tad varshma tad vai shiras
” That head is the loftiest which is white with dust from bowing down to Lord Krishna.”
purta-vidhayah sarvam hutam bhasmani “[Without remembrance of Krishna’s lotus feet,] execution of prescribed pious duties is like pouring oblations onto ashes”
veda-vratany anv-aham medash-cheda-phalani “[Without remembrance of Krishna’s lotus feet,] regular observance of severe vows enjoined in the Vedas is no more than a way to lose weight.”

nathe nah purushottame tri-jagatam ekadhipe cetasa
sevye svasya padasya datari pare narayane tishthati
yam kancit purushadhamam katipaya-gramesham alpartha-dam
sevayai mrigayamahe naram aho mudha varaka vayam
Our master, the Personality of Godhead Narayana, who alone rules the three worlds, whom one can serve in meditation, and who happily shares His personal domain, is manifest before us.

sarasija-nayane sa-shankha-cakre mura-bhidi ma viramasva citta rantum
sukha-taram aparam na jatu jane hari-carana-smaranamritena tulyam
O mind, please never stop taking pleasure in thinking of the Mura demon’s destroyer, who has lotus eyes and bears the conch and disc weapon. Indeed, I know of nothing else that gives such extreme pleasure as meditating on Lord Hari’s divine feet.
