Nitā I Mora Jībana Dhana Nitā I Mora Gati
Śrī-rāga
Nitāi is my life and wealth. Nitāi is my exalted status in this world. Without Nitāi I have no good destination.
The useless pleasures this world of birth and death offers I consider worthless like a pile of ashes. In the town I will beg something. Then I will eat. I will always glorify Lord Nitāi.
I will not stay in any country where I cannot see Nitāi. In the faces of persons who spurn Nitāi I will not look.
The Gaṅgā Śiva places on his head is water that washed Nitāi’s feet. He is tortured with troubles who does not worship Nitāi.
Locana dāsa says: My Nitāi is a kalpa-taru tree of ecstatic spiritual love. Nitāi is the master of the poor. He is the guru of all the worlds.
