All glories to Sri Gadadhara Pandit and Lord Sri Gauranga;
all glories to Lord Nityananda, the life of Srimati Jahnavadevi;
all glories to Sri Advaita Acarya and Mother Sita; all glories to
Srila Srivasa Pandit and all the devotees of Lord Caitanya.
Srila Haridasa continued to weep in ecstatic love. Lord
Gauracandra encircled him with His arms in a loving embrace and
said, "O Haridasa, a devotee of your caliber is rarely found.
You are wellversed in all spiritual conclusions and you are
always unaffected by maya.
Elevation by pure devotion
"Taking birth in a low family and caste, you have proven to
the world that Krsna is not obtained merely by amassing wealth,
reputation, lineage or refinement. Whoever develops unflinching
faith in unalloyed devotional service to the Supreme Lord as you
have done is factually superior to the demigods.
"You are learned in all the truths of the holy name of the
Lord; your spiritual conduct is exemplary; and you are an expert
preacher. Therefore, O Haridasa, kindly reveal to Me something
of the unlimited glories of the holy name. Please allow Me to
savour your words.
