Adoṣa Daraśi Mora Prabhu Nityānanda
Śrī-rāga
I pray that Lord Nityānanda will not look at my sins, I did not worship the Lord’s lotus feet.
Alas! I did not know. What a demon I was. I did not worship Lord Nitāi, the Lord of mercy.
O my unfortunate heart! Will you ever become happy? Why do you not call out, “Nitāi!”, and die.
When they hear of Lord NItāi’s mercy, even the stones melt. O my cruel heart, you do not melt when you hear His glories.
To persons who do not offend Lord Caitanya, Lord Nitāi gives the gift of spiritual love and devotion.
Alas! The Lord’s holy name does not rest on my throat or in my heart. Kṛṣṇa dāsa says: I am very unfortunate.
