tam tv adya nunam mahatam gatim gurum
trailokya-kantam drsiman-mahotsavam
rupam dadhanam sriya ipsitaspadam
draksye mamasann usasah su-darsanah

TRANSLATION
Today I shall certainly see Him, the goal and spiritual master of the great souls. Seeing Him brings jubilation to all who have eyes, for He is the true beauty of the universe. Indeed, His personal form is the shelter desired by the goddess of fortune. Now all the dawns of my life have become auspicious.

yasyakhilamiva-habhih su-mangalaih
vaco vimisra guna-karma-janmabhih
prananti sumbhanti punanti vai jagat
yas tad-viraktah sava-sobhana matah

TRANSLATION
All sins are destroyed and all good fortune is created by the Supreme Lord’s qualities, activities and appearances, and words that describe these three things animate, beautify and purify the world. On the other hand, words bereft of His glories are like the decorations on a corpse.

yad arcitam brahma-bhavadibhih suraih
sriya ca devya munibhih sa-satvataih
go-caranayanucarais carad vane
yad gopikanam kuca-kunkumankitam

TRANSLATION
Those lotus feet are worshiped by Brahma, Siva and all the other demigods, by the goddess of fortune, and also by the great sages and Vaisnavas. Upon those lotus feet the Lord walks about the forest while herding the cows with His companions, and those feet are smeared with the kunkuma from the gopis’ breasts.
