Translation

Verse 1

My Lord Nitāi is the captain of the ferry-boat that traverses the ocean of birth and death. Lord Nitāi is the life of the jīvas. For me He is an ocean of bliss.

Verse 2

Accepting the garments of an avadhūta, Lord Nitāi came to the circle of this earth. He is Padmāvatī’s son. He is Jāhnavā’s life. He enjoys glorious pastimes with Lord Caitanya.

Verse 3

When Lord Rāmacandra descended to this world, Lord Nitāi was Rāma’s younger brother Lakṣmaṇa. When Lord Kṛṣṇa descended to this world, Lord Nitāi was Kṛṣṇa’s elder brother Balarāma in Gokula-nagara.

Verse 4

When Lord Gaura descended to this world, Lord Nitāi accepted the name Nityānanda. Then He enjoyed pastimes with Lord Gaura in Nadīyā. How many poor fallen sinners did Lord Nitāi deliver? Alas! He did not deliver Atmārāma dāsa. Atmārāma dāsa was cheated.
