Çré v raja-maëòala parikramä
sa yatra kñéräbdhiù sravati surabhébhyaç ca su-mahän nimeñärdhäkhyo vä vrajati na hi yaträpi samayaù bhaje çvetadvépaà tam aham iha golokam iti yaà vidantas te santaù kñiti-virala-cäräù katipaye “I worship that supreme abode of Çvetadvépa, where the Supreme Personality Vrajendra-nandana Çré Kåñëa is the only lover; where His svarüpabhütä vraja-gopés, the embodiment of all Lakñmés, are the beloveds; where every tree and creeper is a transcendental desire-tree; where the earth is made of spiritual touchstone and the water is nectar; where speech is like melodious song and movements are like dance; where the flute is the dear female companion; where light is full of knowledge and bliss; where each and every supreme, transcendental object is all tasty and delectable; where great divine oceans of milk continually flow from the udders of uncountable surabhé cows; and where transcendental time is eternal, and without past and future, so that even half a moment never slips away.
