Bhakati Ratana Khani Ughāḍiyā Prema Maṇi
He opened the mine bearing the jewels of devotional service. He gathered the jewels of ecstatic spiritual love. He added the gold of His own spiritual virtues. He did not see that one person was higher an another was lower. He gave these jewels and gold to every person. He filled the world with cooling bliss.
What does my heart feel now that I have heard of Lord Nitāi's glories? O my brother, how can I describe it? I pray that I may have millions and millions of mouths. Then my heart will be happy. Then I be able to sing the glories of Lord Nitāicandra.
Nowhere have I even heard of such an abode of mercy, let alone seen one. By His very name the whole world becomes full of bliss. Who would not weep with longing for Him?
When His glories are sung and heard, even a heart like stone melts. Ghanaśyāma dāsa says: Whoever has no faith in Him is the real pāṣaṇḍī, the faithless one, on this earth.
