Dekha Nita I Candera Madhuri
Bhajan | Traditional
Verse 1
dekha nitā-i-cāndera mādhurī
pulake pūrala tanu kadamba keśara janu
bāhu tuli bole hari hari
Verse 2
śrī-mukha-maṇḍala dhāma jini kata koṭi kāma
se nā bihi kise niramila
mathiyā lābaṇya-sindhu tāhe niṅgāḍiyā indu
sudhā diyā mukhāni gaḍila
Verse 3
naba kañja-dala āṅkhi tāraka bhramara pākhī
ḍubi rahu prema-makarande
se-rūpa dekhila yeha se jānila rasa-meha
abanī bhāsala premānande
Verse 4
pūrube ye braja-pure bihare nandera ghare
rohiṇī-nandana balarāma
ebe padmābatī-suta nityānanda abadhūta
bhubana-pābana haila nāma
Verse 5
se pahuṁ patita heri karuṇāmaya abatāri
jībere bolaya gaura-hari
paḍiyā se bhaba-bandhe kāndaye locana andhe
nā dekhiyā se-rūpa mādhurī
Verse 1
Look at the glorious sweetness of Lord Nitāicandra! Like kadamba filaments, the hairs of His body stand erect. Raising His arms, He chants, “Hari! Hari!”
Verse 2
How many millions of Kāmadevas does trhe glorious circle of Hisd face defeat? How did the demigod Brahmā create such a face? Perhaps Brahmā churned the ocean of glorious handsomeness, extracted from it a glorious moon, and with the nectar from that moon created Lord Nitāi’s face.
Verse 3
Lord Nitāi’s eyes are lotus petals and his pupils are black bees drowning in the flower-nectar of ecstatic spiritual love. Anyone who sees Him knows that Lord Nitāi is a nectar cloud flooding the earth with a monsoon of blissful spiritual love.
Verse 4
In the past He was Rohiṇī’s son Balarāma who enjoyed pastimes in Nanda’s Vrajapura home. Now He is Padmāvatī’s son, the avadhūta Nityānanda, Nityānanda whose name is Bhuvana-pāvana (the purifier of the worlds).
Verse 5
Seeing how the people had become fallen, the Lord descended to this world and taught the fallen souls to chant the holy names “Gaura-Hari!” Fallen in the prison of repeated birth and death, blind Locana dāsa weeps. Never has He seen any sweetness like that of Lord Nitāi.
