Verse 1

O Lord! Śrī Rūpa Gosāṣi, in the form of Śrī Guru, spoke these instructions into my ears: “O beggar for the Name! Understand my words and you will attain loving attachment for chanting the Name.

Verse 2

“Engage your tongue and mind in chanting and remembering Kṛṣṇa’s Names, Forms, Qualities, and Pastimes with great care, following the gradual process of development.

Verse 3

“Reside in Vraja, become a rāgānugā, and engage in remembrance and kīrtan. Spend all of your time in this way, and cherish this as the essence of all instruction.”

Verse 4

O Śrī Rūpa Gosāṣi! When will you mercifully grant this beggar residence in Vraja? You are a rāgātmika devotee. To follow in your footsteps is this servant’s desire.
