> হরিদাস আছিল পৃথিবীর ‘শিরোমণি’ ।\
> তাহা বিনা রত্ন-শূন্যা হইল মেদিনী ॥৯৭॥

> haridāsa āchila pṛthivīra 'śiromaṇi'\
> tāhā vinā ratna-śūnyā ha-ila medinī

*haridāsa*—Ṭhākura Haridāsa; *āchila*—was; *pṛthivīra*—of this world; *śiromaṇi*—the crown jewel; *tāhā vinā*—without him; *ratna-śūnyā*—without the valuable jewel; *ha-ila*—becomes; *medinī*—this world.

**"Haridāsa Ṭhākura was the crown jewel on the head of this world; without him, this world is now bereft of its valuable jewel."**
