I offer my respectful obeisances unto the son of Sri Jagannath Mishra (Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu). I offer my obeisances unto the mrdanga, from which sweet and nectarean sound emanates. I offer my obeisances again and again unto the mrdanga which has thousands of good qualities and I offer my obeisances unto Lord Baladeva who assumes the form of the mrdanga to serve Lord Caitanya.
Explanation of the Mrdanga symbols:
Small Drum: llll (four fingers) l (Thumb) for practice (Index Finger) for playing
