Translation

Verse 1

I bow down before Lord Nityānanda. He is the root of transcendental bliss. He is decorated with glisttering ornaments. Shark-shaped earrings swing to and fro on His ears. On His neck a Kaustubha gem glistens.

Verse 2

His graceful arms defeat the elephant’s trunk. He grasps a splendid golden mace. Saffron garments adorn His limbs. He runs like a lion. Seeing Him, the demons and blasphemers tremble.

Verse 3

He is splendid and pure. His eyes are lotus petals from which flow the nectar of tears. He is like a golden mountain from which a great Gaṅgā flows. Seeing Him, the demigods become filled with bliss.

Verse 4

His bodily hairs stand erect like kadamba filaments. When He leaps the earth trembles. When He heroically strikes His chest, the sound make all the worlds split apart. Gazing at Him, the residents of Brahmaloka offer prayers.

Verse 5

To the fallen souls He carefully gives the jewel of spiritual love for Lord Caitanya. In this way He greatly pleases the Lord. Vṛndāvana dāsa says: It is because of many past bad karma that I do not now worship Lord Nitāi’s feet.
