Akrodha Paramananda

akrodha paramānanda nityānanda rāy abhimāna śūnya nitāi nagare beḍāy

The noble Lord Nityananda is never angry, for He is the personification of supreme transcendental bliss. Devoid of any concept of false ego, Nitai wanders about the town.

adhama patita jīver dvāre dvāre giyā hari-nāma mahā-mantra deno bilāiyā

Going from door to door in the residences of the most fallen and wretched souls, He freely distributes the gift of the Hari-nama mahamantra.

jāre dekhe tāre kohe dante tṛṇa dhori’ āmāre kiniyā loho bolo gaura-hari

He exclaims to whomever he sees while holding straw between his teeth, “Please purchase me by worshipping Gaurahari!”

eto boli’ nityānanda bhūme gaḍi jāy sonāra parvata jeno dhūlāte loṭāy

Saying thus, Nityananda Prabhu rolls about on the ground, appearing like a golden mountain tumbling in the dust.

heno avatāre jār rati nā janmilo locan bole sei pāpī elo ār gelo

Locana Dasa Thakura says, “Whoever has not experienced the awakening of affection for such an avatara as this, that sinful person simply comes and goes uselessly in the cycle of repeated birth and death.”
