Jagannātha Miśrera Sukṛti Bīja Haite
Tuḍī-rāga
In Nadīyā, from the seed of Jagannātha Miśra's past pious deeds was born the kalpa-taru tree of Lord Gaura.
The gardener Nitāi came and carefully tended that tree. From that tree many branches and sub-branches grew.
That tree bore many wonderful fruits, fruits filled with wildly delightful nectar.
The gardener Nitāi happily picked those fruits. Wikth both hands He offered those fruits to the poor unhappy souls.
The nectar of those fruits was like the sweet nectar found in the celestial moon. Anyone who sucked the juice of one of those fruits found that his hunger had fled far away.
Then the gardener Nitāi personally ate one of those fruits. Wild with bliss, He danced. Then He placed those fruits in a basket and balanced the basket on His head.
Saying, "Take! Take! Please take!", He distributed those fruits to everyone. Only Śekhara Rāya did not take any of those fruits. Only he was cheated.
