    • akrodha paramānanda nityānanda rāya

    • The anger-less, prideless, supremely joyful Nityānanda Rāy wanders throughout the towns.

    • adhama patita jīver dvāre dvāre giyā
    • hari-nāma mahāmantra dena bilāiyā
    • Going from door to door to the homes of the lowly and fallen souls, He distributes the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahāmantra.

  • 3
    • yāre dekhe tāre kahe dante tṛṇa dhari’
    • āmāre kiniyā laha bhaja gaurahari
    • With straw between His teeth, He says to whoever He sees, “Purchase Me: simply serve Gaurahari.”

  • 4
    • eta bali’ nityānanda bhūme gaḍi yāya
    • sonāra parvata yena dhūlāte loṭāya
    • Saying this, Nityānanda rolls on the ground like a golden mountain rolling in the dust.

  • 5
    • hena avatāre yāra rati nā janmila
    • lochan bale sei pāpī ela āra gela
    • Lochan Dās says of one who has not developed attachment to this Avatār, “Such a sinner simply came and went.”

    • (yāoyā āsā sār ha-ila)
    • (nitāi-charaṇ nā bhajila    yāoyā āsā sār ha-ila)
    • “They simply came and went. Those who did not serve Nitāi’s feet simply came and went (took birth and died uselessly).”
