  1. Verse 1

    śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya prabhu jīve doyā kori’ swa-pārṣada swīya dhāma saha avatari’

    sri-krsna-caitanya prabhu jive doya kori’ swa-parsada swiya dhama saha avatari’

    श्रीकृष्णचैतन्य प्रभु जीवे दोया कोरिऽ स्wअपार्षद स्wईय धाम सह अवतरिऽ

    1-2) Out of compassion for the fallen souls, Sri Krisna Caitanya came to this world with His personal associates and divine abode to teach saranagati (the goal of surrender), surrender to the almighty Godhead, and to freely distribute ecstatic love of God, which is ordinarily very difficult to obtain. This saranagati is the very life of the true devotee 3-4) The ways of saranagati are humility, dedication of the self, acceptance of the Lord as one’s only maintainer, faith that Krishna will surely protect, execution of only those acts favorable to pure devotion, and renunciation of conduct adverse to pure devotion.
