शमादिगुणसंपन्नः सत्यधर्मपरायणः |
ज्ञानवैराग्यनिलयो ब्रह्मचर्यव्रते स्थितः ||
कृष्णभक्तिपरो विप्रः सङ्गीतरसतत्त्ववित् |
नानाशास्न्नपुराणज्ञो नामकीर्तनतत्परः ||
तीर्थराजे वसन्नित्यं साधुभिः परिसेवितः |
भक्तिं प्रकाशयामास मधुरैः कृष्णकीर्तनैः ||

He lived in the holy city of Prayag. He was venerated by all sadhus. He was spreading bhakti with the aid of sweet songs on Shri Krishna.
