Nitā I Guṇa Maṇi Āmāra Nitā I Guṇa Maṇi
My Lord Nitāi, the jewel of virtues, Nitāi, the jewel of virtues, flooded this world with the ocean of ecstatic spiritual love.
Taking with Him the ocean of spiritual love, He came to Gauḍa-deśa. Every devotee drowned in that ocean of love. Only the fallen sinners remained floating.
The poor, worthless, fallen, insignificant persons did not wish to accept that love. Still Lord Nitāi begged everyone to accept the rare spiritual love even Brahmā cannot attain.
That ocean of mercy had been sealed. But Lord Nitāi dug a canal to bring that nectar ocean of love from one house to the next.
Locana dāsa says: Anyone who will not say, "Lord Nitāi is my master", sets a fire in his mouth.
