TRANSLATION
May the congregational chanting of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s holy names be supremely victorious! It cleanses the mirror of the heart and extinguishes the blazing fire of material existence. It spreads the cooling moonlight of true auspiciousness, like the rays that cause the white lotus of good fortune to bloom. It is the very life of divine wisdom and the source of ever-expanding joy, allowing one to taste the full nectar of immortality at every step. It bathes the soul completely in divine ecstasy.
