Glorification of Srimad-Bhagavatam

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.

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.

I bow down to You, 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.

My only friend, my constant companion, my spiritual master, my great wealth! My savior, my good fortune, my source of ecstasy, I bow down to You.

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.
