LORD CAITANYA'S MERCY TOWARDS CONDITIONED SOULS - SVARUPA DAMODAR GOSVAMI'S PRAYER WHEN HE FIRST MET LORD CAITANYA IN PURI. Text 119 heloddhūnita-khedayā viśadayā pronmīlad-āmodayā śāmyac-chāstra-vivādayā rasa-dayā cittārpitonmādayā śaśvad-bhakti-vinodayā sa-madayā mādhurya-maryādayā śrī-caitanya dayā-nidhe tava dayā bhūyād amandodayā Translation “O ocean of mercy, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu! Let there be an awakening of Your auspicious mercy, which easily drives away all kinds of material lamentation by making everything pure and blissful. Indeed, Your mercy awakens transcendental bliss and covers all material pleasures. By Your auspicious mercy, quarrels and disagreements arising among different scriptures are vanquished. Your auspicious mercy pours forth transcendental mellows and thus causes the heart to jubilate. Your mercy, which is full of joy, always stimulates devotional service and glorifies conjugal love of God. May transcendental bliss be awakened within my heart by Your causeless mercy.”
