“Ofereço minhas respeitosas reverências aos seis gosvāmīs, a saber, Śrī Sanātana Gosvāmī, Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī, Śrī Raghunātha Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī, Śrī Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī, Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī e Śrī Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī, que são muito hábeis no estudo minucioso de todas as escrituras reveladas com o fim de estabelecer os princípios religiosos eternos para o benefício de todos os seres humanos. São, destarte, honrados em todos os três mundos e são refúgios dignos de aceitação porque estão absortos no estado de espírito das gopīs e estão ocupados no serviço transcendental amoroso a Rādhā e Kṛṣṇa”.
“I offer my respectful obeisances unto the six Gosvāmīs, namely, Śrī Sanātana Gosvāmī, Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī, Śrī Raghunātha Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī, Śrī Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī, Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī and Śrī Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī, who are very expert in scrutinizingly studying all the revealed scriptures with the aim of establishing eternal religious principles for the benefit of all human beings. Thus they are honored all over the three worlds, and they are worth taking shelter of because they are absorbed in the mood of the gopīs and are engaged in the transcendental loving service of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.”
