My Lord Nityānanda, the jewel of all virtues, my Lord Nityānanda, the jewel of all virtues, has brought the flood of ecstatic love of God that has drowned the entire world.

Bringing this overwhelming deluge of prema when He returned to Bengal from Jagannātha Purī on Lord Caitanya's order, Nitāi has inundated the assembly of devotees. The fallen nondevotees did not drown, however, but remained floating on that ecstatic ocean.

This exalted prema, which is difficult even for Lord Brahmā to attain, was freely offered by Lord Nityānanda even to the fallen and wretched souls who did not desire it.

The ocean of mercy had formerly been sealed tight, but Nitāi cut a channel in its boundary to allow the great flooding waves of nectarean prema to splash from house to house.

Locana Dāsa says, “By neglecting to worship my Nitāi or take advantage of this excellent opportunity He offers, a person knowingly commits suicide.”
