Lyrics

Nitai Guna Mani

Locana Dasa Thakura

Verse 1

nitāi guṇa-maṇi āmār nitāi guṇa-maṇi āniyā premer vanyā bhāsāilo avanī

My Lord Nityananda, the jewel of all virtues, my Lord Nityananda, the jewel of all virtues, has brought the flood of ecstatic love of God that has drowned the entire world.

Verse 2

premer vanyā loiyā nitāi āilā gauḍa-deśe ḍubilo bhakata-gaṇa dīna hīna bhāse

Bringing this overwhelming deluge of prema when He returned to Bengal from Jagannatha Puri on Lord Caitanya's order, Nitai has inundated the assembly of devotees. The fallen nondevotees did not drown, however, but remained floating on that ecstatic ocean.

Verse 3

dīna hīna patita pāmara nāhi bāche brahmār durlabha prema sabākāre jāce

Lord Nityananda freely offered this exalted prema, which is difficult for Lord Brahma to attain, even to the fallen and wretched souls who did not desire it.

Verse 4

ābaddha karuṇā-sindhu nitāi kāṭiyā muhān ghare ghare bule prema-amiyār bān

The ocean of mercy had formerly been sealed tight, but Nitai cut a channel in its boundary to allow the great flooding waves of nectarean prema to splash from house to house.

Verse 5

locan bole mor nitāi jebā nā bhajilo jāniyā śuniyā sei ātma-ghātī hoilo

Locana dasa says, "Whoever has not worshiped my Nitai or taken advantage of this excellent opportunity offered by Him knowingly commits suicide."
