Sanskrit:

पुरा किल महाबाहो धर्मं परमकं प्रभो ।यत्तेन हंसरूपेण ब्रह्मणेऽभ्यात्थ माधव ॥ ३ ॥स इदानीं सुमहता कालेनामित्रकर्शन ।न प्रायो भविता मर्त्यलोके प्रागनुशासित: ॥ ४ ॥

ITRANS:

purā kila mahā-bāhodharmaṁ paramakaṁ prabhoyat tena haṁsa-rūpeṇabrahmaṇe ’bhyāttha mādhava

Translation:

My dear Lord, O mighty-armed one, previously in Your form of Lord Haṁsa You spoke to Lord Brahmā those religious principles that bring supreme happiness to the practitioner. My dear Mādhava, now much time has passed, and that which You previously instructed will soon practically cease to exist, O subduer of the enemy.
