Preme Mātoyārā Nitā I Nāgara
Dhānaśī-rāga
Lord Nitāi is wild in the ecstasy of spiritual love. He is a peerless ocean of mercy.
Who is His companion and who is an outsider? His heart overcome with spiritual love, Lord Nitāi does not know.
Where on the earth is any mercy like His? He gives away ecstatic spiritual love, love beyond the rules of the Vedas.
He always tries to deliver the sinners. Compassionately feeling the fallen souls’ sufferings, He weeps, tears flowing from His eyes.
He begs everyone to accept His gift of ecstatic spiritual love, a gift that makes one always free of all suffering. He is the abode of all glorious handsomeness.
Folding his palms, Kānu dāsa says: O Lord, please give this poor servant a place somewhere at Your feet.
