1) I meditate upon the lotus feet of the husband of Sita, Shri Advaita, who begged the Supreme Lord with a thundering voice and day and night prayed to Him, "O Krishna, O Radhika-natha!" Decorating the Lord in the form of a Shalagrama-shila with sandalwood paste and musk, He worshipped the Lord with incense and a lamp.
2) He offered Ganga water mixed with Tulasi leaves and manjaris. Tears of love incessantly flow from His eyes as he meditates upon Krishna and sings his glories. He prays to the Supreme Lord, who is an ocean of mercy, to descend to this world. I meditate upon the lotus feet of Shri Advaita the husband of Sita.
3) Again and again He loudly sings, „Krishna! Krishna!“ Begging Him, "O Natha! Deliverer of the universe (jagatrata)! O merciful Lord! Kindly show yourself to me in Your easily accessible two-armed form!" Thus, I am absorbed in thoughts upon the lotus feet of Shri Advaita the husband of Sita.
4) Due to the prayers of Shri Advaita, mercyful Shri Caitanya appeared as the son of Saci and Jagannatha Mishra. Thus, in the association of Advaita and other associates he exhibited his kirtan pastimes. I meditate upon the lotus feet of Shri Advaita the husband of Sita.
5) I meditate upon the lotus feet of Shri Advaita, the husband of Sita. These feet are the cherished object of my study and meditation. Thus I always keep the dust of these feet on my head. O Jagan-natha! Lord of the Universe, please protect this unworthy soul and grant him access into the process of pure bhakti.
6) I meditate upon the lotus feet of Shri Advaita, the husband of Sita. He is the Lord of my life (praneshvara). By His blessings everything can be attained. This most merciful Master at once bestows bhakti upon those who meditate upon His lotus feet.
7) I meditate upon the lotus feet of Shri Advaita, the husband of Sita, by whose glorious call Shri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and the very merciful Nityananda Prabhu appeared. Although all of Them belong to the same category of Vishnu-tattva, They manifest as three persons, going through all different phases of life – childhood, adolescence etc, To deliver all living entities, They sang loudly the holy name, sometimes roaring like thunder, laughing and crying in ecstasy. Thus they gave them the transcendental knowledge about bhakti.
8) He bestows loving devotional service (prema-bhakti) even upon the most fallen, the degraded, he obstinate and others. He who grants all benedictions, Shri Advaita the patron of Shantipur, frees one from the bondage of material attachments, bad association, selfish work, mystical yoga and the attempt for liberation (moksha). Thus, I meditate upon the lotus feet of Shri Advaita, the husband of Sita.

Srila Narottama Dasa Thakur writes in his Prarthana, 'A Prayer to the Lotus Feet of Sri Gauranga and His Associates', verse 4:
"My dear Advaita Prabhu, husband of Sita, You are so kind. Please be merciful to me. If You are kind to me, naturally Lord Chaitanya and Lord Nityananda will also be kind to me."
