*Because this song has been composed by S'rī Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Thakura, he originally has placed his name at the end of the song, as is customarily done by Vaisnava poets. But in order to glorify S'rī Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Thakura as well as his beloved disciple S'rī A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda as spiritual teachers in the preceptorial succession from S'rī Caitanyadeva, the verse as given above has been added; it was before:
