\begin{verse}

He whose lotus face is glowing,\\
Whose skin shines like a sunlit peak,\\
Rarest honors he's bestowing,\\
Treasure-house of the joys most seek,\\
He who relishes ambrosia\\
At V\d{r}sabh\=anu's daughter's feet\\
Along with her much loved K\d{r}\d{s}\d{n}a,\\
He whose words are expertly sweet,\\
May sage Vy\=asa's holy son\\
Be known as the glorious one.\footnote{K\d{r}\d{s}\d{n}ad\=asa, second son of \'Sr{\=\i} Hita Hariva\d{m}\'sa, 
{\it Kar\d{n}\=ananda} (1578 CE), verse 1.  Translation by Neal and
Elizabeth Delmonico.}
