Pahuṁ Mora Nityānanda Rāya

Churning all the ascriptures, my Lord Nityānanda Rāya extracted the nectar that is the maha-mantra of Lord Hari’s holy names. Taking the people of this world by the hand, He taught them the glory of that nectar of the holy names.

Lord Nityānanda, who is Lord Caitanya’s elder brother, and who is the most glroious in all the worlds, went to the Ganga’s bank and opened a marketplace. Powerful Lord Nityānanda, who crushes the demons, became the king of that martketplace.

Rāmāi Paṇḍita became the superintendent of that martketplace. By the king’s order he appointed Haridāsa Ṭhākura as the policeman there. Krsna-dasa was the doorman. To stop any cheating, Śrinivāsa was appointed the accountant.

Lord Viśvambhara Himself has became a shopkeeper in that marketplace. So have dear Gadādhara and many others. In that merket there is a great wonder of buying and selling. Having heard something of its glories, Gaurī-dāsa has come to visit that market. He smiles and smiles.
