Glory of Sridhara Bhagavatpad:          

' Aham bedmi Suko vetti vyaso vetti na vtti ba Sridharam sakala vttye Srinirsimha prasadata' 

This sloka concluded the authenticity of Sridhara's Bhashya or commentary in the Yoga of Bhakti or Devotion .Sri Caitanaya Mahaprabhu too once said : jagad-guru śrīdhara-svāmī ‘guru’ kari’ māni , Only Through the blessings of  Sridhara Swami,I have learnt the Bhagvata , hence i consider him as my Guru! 

 Invocation : 

Vagisha yashya vadane Laxmiyashya cha bakshasi yashyaste Hridaye Sambitam Nisimham maham bhaje. (Bhavartha Dipika -1.1)
