Triumph and Victory to the gateway of Vaikunth
, The Bratadrawa shrine,
At that very site our utmost own Guru
Like the Sun has risen to shine.
At that very site Guru has devotedly
Established the holy sthana,
And he merchandised successfully
The extraordinary jewel, the Rama nama.
At the centre there exists stepping stone
And Namaghar stands southward,
Sankara Guru has got settled and shone
Building Manikuta and his homestead.
He built a number of house- forms
For theatrical performances
And painted and showed backdrops
With signs of all seven Vaikunths.
Towards west direction look at
The leaning tree of 'xhilikha'
Our Guru used it as backrest
While compiling numerous 'lekha'.
Looking northward one will find
The Akakhiganga, the pool of devotion
At the verge of midnight which has been
By Shreemanta Sankara brought down.
In all four directions array of huts stood
Which were belonged to devotees
They participated in fourteen renderings
Called choidhya prasanga of namas.
At that holy shrine Guru of our utmost own
Lived and manifested innate brilliance
And the description has been made by
Purushuttam Das, the servant of servants.
