Rūpe Guṇe Anupamā Lakṣmī Koṭi Manoramā

His handsomeness and virtues are without peer. He enchants the hearts of millions of goddesses of fortune. He enjoys nectar rāsa-dance pastimes with millions and millions of gopīs in Vraja. Why is this Lord now an avadhūta?

What shall I say first of my sad bewilderment? He is the guru of all playful heroes. He is a kalpa-taru tree of nectar. Why did Lord Nitāi accept sannyāsa?

Śeṣa and Saṅkarṣaṇa are His aṁśa and kalā avatāras. At every moment he is gloriously manifest in the spiritual world of Goloka. Śiva and Brahmā cannot attain Him. Hew is beyond the touch of the Vedas. Why is Lord Nitāi now rapt in pastimes of saṅkīrtana?

He is Lord Kṛṣṇa's elder brother. His name is the great Lord Balarāma. But in Kali-yuga His name is Śrī Nityānanda. He has plunged all the people of the world in the nectar of ecstatic love for Lord Gaura. Only the fool Balarāma dāsa He has not plunged. Only Balarāma dāsa is left behind.
