Rendition:
The Ganges, who cleanses the sins of the sinners, has appeared from the Lotus
Feet of Bhagavān Śrī-Hari, but the same Ganges-water is used for bathing The
Lord in His Diety (Mūrti or Śāligrāma) form. In the same way, whatever glory
(of Gaurāṅga & Nityānanda Prabhu) have I heard from the lotus mouth of
Saints, I have compiled in this booklet as per my understanding.|1| Now, I
offer this booklet into the hands of all such saints (Vaiṣṇavas). I have only
one desire in my heart, that the glories of Gaura-Hari are sung in the whole
world, far & wide.|2|
