I know that I am totally unqualified. 4) All the Vaisnavas are vancha kalpa-taru (wish-fulfilling trees) and an ocean of mercy. It is my deepest hope that the Vaisnavas will give me their mercy so that I can thus attain the lotus feet of Mahaprabhu. 5) I have no good qualities and I have committed uncountable offenses, but if you will deliver me (give me bhakti), then everyone will come to know of your glories. 6) I am praying for taste in nama-sankirtana and for the wealth of prema. Then this Radha-mohana dasa will realize your supreme mercy.
