by Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu

trnad api sunicena
taror iva sahisnuna
amanina manadena
kirtaniyah sada harih

More humble than a blade of grass,
as tolerant as a tree,
To think, "All praise belongs to others,
none belongs to me"
These qualities attract the Lord
to bless one with the power
To chant His name incessantly
until the final hour.


(Poeticized translation by Dravida Dasa)
