आया है जद्गुरू दिन मन भाया, नव उल्लास चतुर्दिक छाया ।
मन गर्वित हो कर हुल्साया, मम सद्गुरू सा न कोई  जग जाया ।
Āyā hai jadgurū dina mana bhāyā, nava ullāsa caturdika chāyā.
Mana garvita hō kara hulsāyā, mama sadgurū sā na kō'ī jaga jāyā.
The auspicious day has come again when our Guru was honored with the exclusive title of Jagadguruttam. Once again the entire atmosphere has become so cheerful. There is no one like our Guru in this whole world.

छवि मनमोहन सी मनमोहिनि, चितवनि प्रेम भरी अति सोहनि,
         पुनि उत्तुंग माथ द्युति दमकनि, तापर चंदन तिलक सुहाया ।
Chavi manamōhana sī manamōhini, citavani prēma bharī ati sōhani,
puni uttuṅga mātha dyuti damakani tāpara candana tilaka suhāyā.
He is as beautiful as the all-attractive Shri Krishna and is an embodiment of Divine Love. In addition to that, the beauty of sandalwood paste and tilak on His lustrous forehead is spectacular.

अहह ज्ञान सम्यक वेदन कहँ,सबहिं शास्त्र चरनन नत पाया,
         अस अधिकार शास्त्र वेदन पर, लखि पंडित समाज हर्षया ।
Ahaha jñāna samyaka vēdana kaham̐,sabahiṁ śāstra caranana nata pāyā,
asa adhikāra śāstra vēdana para, lakhi paṇḍita samāja harṣayā.
Seeing His unsurpassed knowledge of all the Vedas, His quoting of the scriptures effortlessly as if all the scriptures were at His service, and looking at His wonderful command on all Vedas and Shastras, made the scholars very happy.

ह्वै अवाक् सुनि दिव्य ज्ञान तिन, सुधि बुधि भूले सब विद्वज्जन,
जै जैकार किये मन ही मन, हो नतमस्तक शीश नवाया।
Hvai avāk suni divya jñāna tina, sudhi budhi bhūlē saba vidvajjana,
jai jaikāra kiyē mana hī mana, hō natamastaka śīśa navāyā.
The Divine discourses of Shri Maharaj Ji astonished all the scholars. Surrendering to His unparalleled knowledge, they gave a standing ovation and reverently bowed down to Him.

चारु समन्वय सुनि सब दर्शन, स्तुति किय लिख दिय दिव्य गुन,
         जगद्गुरूत्तम दै पद अनुपम, अभिनन्दन करि भाग्य मनाया।
Cāru samanvaya suni saba darśana, stuti kiya likha diya divya guna,
jagadgurūttama dai pada anupama, abhinandana kari bhāgya manāyā.
The beautiful reconciliation of all of the schools of philosophy by Shri Maharaj Ji compelled the scholars that were present there to honor Him with the title of Jagadguruttam (best of all Jagadgurus). Having submitted their feelings in the form of a poetry, wherein they described all His divine attributes and His divine knowledge, they considered themselves to be very fortunate souls.

अद्वितीय मेरे गुरुवर हैं, उन पर तो रीझे गिरिधर हैं,
         वारी वारी जाऊँ नाचुँ सोचि मनहिं मन, क्या हमने सुभाग है पाया ।
Advitīya mērē guruvara haiṁ, una para tō rījhē giridhara haiṁ,
vārī vārī jā'ūm̐ nācum̐ sōci manahiṁ mana, kyā hamanē subhāga hai pāyā.
Our Guru is so distinct and remarkable, having captivated Lord Krishna Himself. I dance in ecstasy thinking about my great fortune of being His disciple.

जै हो जै हो जै हो जै हो, मेरे गुरुवर जी, रसिक शिरोमणि संत प्रवर की,
प्रेम सिंधु, कारुण्य सिंधु की,कृपा हेतु ही जो जग आया ।
Jai hō jai hō jai hō jai hō, mērē guruvara jī, rasika śirōmaṇi santa pravara kī,
prēma sindhu, kāruṇya sindhu kī,kr̥pā hētu hī jō jaga āyā.
All glories to my Divine Master, who is the Supreme Rasik Saint, an ocean of love and mercy, and who appeared on this earth only to bestow His Grace.
