Nadīyāra Ghāṭe Bhā I Ki Adbhuta Tari
Dhānaśī-rāga
O my brothers, at the Nadīyā ferry-landing is a wonderful ferry-boat. At that ferry-boat's stern stand Lord Nitāi and Lord Caitanya, the boat's captain.
In that ferry-boat Śrī Rūpa, Śrī Sanātana, Śrī Jīva, Śrī Gopāla, and the two Śrī Raghunāthas are the six oarsmen.
Loudly Lord Nitāi calls, "O My brothers, who amongst you will cross the ocean of birth and death? Without paying even a single penny, you may cross in Our ferry to the other shore.
"Without taking the trouble to pay even a little attar incense, who will cross, O My brothers, to the farther shore? Caitanya and Nitāi will take everyone across."
Kṛṣṇa dāsa says: O my brothers, please chant, “Hari! Hari!" At the ferry-landing of Caitanya and Nitāi you need not pay even a single penny.
