The English Translation…….

Glory to Guru Sankara(-deva), the mine of all virtues, who bears no comparison.
I bow down a hundred crores of times at the dust of his lotus feet.
Majestic to look at, he is with a body reddish white, as though the Sun-god has emerged into view.
The attraction is he of a whole assemblage, at whose sight sins are destroyed. 
He looks so attractive even without any ornament; grave; majestic; sober. 
His eyes are very beautiful like lotuses in bloom; his face sheds the luster of the moon.
Sankara(-deva) is the counterpart of the God Nārāyana who came for deliverance of the people on earth,
worshipped by the three worlds, son of Devaki, the killer of Kamsa. 
He assumed a false human body to spread devotion to God. 
All people immerged in the seas of sins (and) he has rescued them. 
He has searched the four Vedas thoroughly and has found out (the gem of) God's Name.
(Any body) singing it with his mouth can get his wished-for object. 
A venerable scholar, he crushed the pride of all by (re-) interpreting the Vedas. 
The songs and poetic genius of Sankaradeva with accompanying fame have spread far and wide. 
He had beauty, fame, gifts, rank, kindness for all life, all intact. 
As the Guru he taught devotion to devotees, and loved them better than his sons. 
By delivering his people by spreading bhakti, he built the bridge of God's name. 
so that in the Iron Age all people can cross the sea of sin. 
He has opened all avenues for the store of bhakti 
and has made people indifferent (even) to salvation. 
He has brought into light the Eka-Sarana (self-surrender to the One) Hari Nāma-Dharma (the religion of reciting the Name of Hari)
which is the king (of all religions).
What should I speak of the greatness of Sankaradeva, for I found no end of that knowledge.
Only by touching the dust of his lotus-feet with the head
one can feel the bliss that salvation alone may give.
