Translation

Verse 1

Churning all the ascriptures, my Lord Nityānanda Rāya extracted the nectar that is the maha-mantra of Lord Hari’s holy names. Taking the people of this world by the hand, He taught them the glory of that nectar of the holy names.

Verse 2

Lord Nityānanda, who is Lord Caitanya’s elder brother, and who is the most glroious in all the worlds, went to the Ganga’s bank and opened a marketplace. Powerful Lord Nityānanda, who crushes the demons, became the king of that martketplace.

Verse 3

Rāmāi Paṇḍita became the superintendent of that martketplace. By the king’s order he appointed Haridāsa Ṭhākura as the policeman there. Krsna-dasa was the doorman. To stop any cheating, Śrinivāsa was appointed the accountant.

Verse 4

Lord Viśvambhara Himself has became a shopkeeper in that marketplace. So have dear Gadādhara and many others. In that merket there is a great wonder of buying and selling. Having heard something of its glories, Gaurī-dāsa has come to visit that market. He smiles and smiles.
