English translation:

(85-086) “If I have actually observed any vows, given in charity, worshiped the gurus, brāhmaṇas, and demigods, or served the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord, then, O Gadāgraja, I pray for the benediction that You become the Lord of my life and drive away Śiśupāla.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

The Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (10.52.40) states:

pūrteṣṭa-datta-niyama-vrata-deva-vipra gurv-arcanādibhir alaṃ bhagavān pareśaḥ

ārādhito yadi gadāgraja etya pāṇiṃ gṛhṇātu me na damaghoṣa-sutādayo ‘nye

“If I have sufficiently worshiped the Supreme Personality of Godhead by pious works, sacrifices, charity, rituals, and vows, and also by worshiping the demigods, brāhmaṇas, and gurus, then may Gadāgraja come and take my hand, and not Damaghoṣa’s son or anyone else.”
