(1)

akrodha paramānanda nityānanda rāy

abhimāna śūnya nitāi nagare beḍāy

(2)

adhama patita jīver dvāre dvāre giyā

hari-nāma mahā-mantra dicchen bilāiyā

(3)

jāre dekhe tāre kohe dante tṛṇa dhori’

āmāre kiniyā loho bolo gaura-hari

(4)

eto boli’ nityānanda bhūme gaḍi jāy

sonāra parvata jeno dhūlāte loṭāy

(5)

heno avatāre jār rati nā janmilo

locan bole sei pāpī elo ār gelo

TRANSLATION

1) The noble Lord Nityananda is never angry, for He is the personification of supreme transcendental bliss. Devoid of any concept of false ego, Nitai wanders about the town.

2) Going from door to door in the residences of the most fallen and wretched souls, He freely distributes the gift of the Hari-nama mahamantra.

3) He exclaims to whomever he sees while holding straw between his teeth, “Please purchase me by worshipping Gaurahari!”

4) Saying thus, Nityananda Prabhu rolls about on the ground, appearing like a golden mountain tumbling in the dust.

5) Locana Dasa Thakura says, “Whoever has not experienced the awakening of affection for such an avatara as this, that sinful person simply comes and goes uselessly in the cycle of repeated birth and death.”
