Prabhu Nityānanda Rāma Rūpe Guṇe Anupāma
Kāmoda-rāga
Lord Nityānanda Rāma, whose virtues and handsomeness are without peer, took birth from Padmāvatī’s womb. For twelve years, He enjoyed pastimes of playing with His childhood friends in the village of Ekacakra.
When Lord Gaura descended to this world, Lord Nityānanda, on the pretext of accompanying a sannyāsī, left home. He traveled to many holy places. Then, after twenty years, He joyfully entered Nadīyā.
Lord Gauracandra was His very life. He fell into the trap Lored Gauracandra had set, the trap of ecstatic spiritual love. The daṇḍa and kamaṇḍalu He threw far away. His heart was always in saṅkīrtana. He accompanied Lord Gauracandra on the journey to Jagannātha-kṣetra. Lord Gauracandra’s daṇḍa He broke in three.
On Lord Gauracandra’s command He left Jagannātha-kṣetra and returned to Gauḍa-deśa. He strove to satisfy the desire in Lord Gauracandra’s heart. He freely gave away the gift of ecstatic spiritual love. He is Jāhnavā’s and Vasudhā’s husband and Narahari dāsa’s shelter.
