Āhā Mari Āju Ki Ānanda

Ah! Ah! What bliss has come to the town of Ekacakra! In Hāḍāi Paṇḍita’s home Lord Nityānanda has descended to this world.

Infant Lord Nityānanda’s body is soft and delicate. It glistens like new butter or like gold. It enchants all the worlds. Gazing at infant Lord Nityānanda’s moonlike face, Padmāvatī and Hāḍāi Paṇḍita cannot contain the joy in their hearts.

In Śāntipura Lord Advaita roars with bliss. Even for a single sesame seed’s worth of tiem He cannot keep still. Raising His arms, He dances. “I will go. I will go to the hero Balarāma.”, He declares.

Brahmā and the demigods shower flowers. “Jaya! Jaya!”, they chant without stop. Hundreds and hundreds of Gandharvas and KInnaras play musical instruments and sing songs praising the blissful ocean of Lord Nityānanda’s virtues.

Fortunate Hāḍāi Ojha was blessed to have such a son. In writing I cannot describe his great good fortune.How many joyful people hurried to Hāḍāi Ojha’s great home!

Fortunate is the earth. Fortunate is the land of Rāḍha-desa. Auspicious were the stars at that moment. Auspicious was that śukla-trayodaśī in the month of Māgha. Narahari dāsa says: Auspicious, auspicious is the Kali-yuga, for now that Lord Nityānanda has come, all sufferings will be broken into pieces.
