O nectar from the ocean of all scriptures,

singular fruit of all the Vedas,

rich mine of the precious gems of all conclusive truths,

You are the only giver of sight to all the worlds.

 

sarva-bhagavata-prana

srimad-bhagavata prabho

kali-dhvantoditaditya

sri-krsna-parivartita

 

O life air of all the Supreme Lord’s devotees,

O master, Srimad-Bhagavatam!

You are the sun risen in the darkness of Kali.

You are the exact image of Sri Krsna.

 

paramananda-pathaya

prema-varsy-aksaraya te

sarvada-sarva-sevyaya

sri-krsnaya namo ’stu me

 

I bow down to You,

who are supremely blissful to read.

Your every syllable pours down a flood of prema.

You can always be served by everyone.

You are Sri Krsna Himself.

 

mad-eka-bandho mat-sangin

mad-guro man-maha-dhana

man-nistaraka mad-bhagya

mad-ananda namo ‘stu te

 

My only friend, my constant companion,

my spiritual master, my great wealth!

My saviour, my good fortune, my source of ecstasy,

I bow down to you.

 

asadhu-sadhuta-dayinn

ati-nicoccata-kara

ha na munca kadacin mam

premna hrt-kanthayoh sphura

 

O bestower of saintliness to the unsaintly,

O exalter of the most fallen,

please never leave me.

Always appear in my heart and my voice with pure love.
