Sri Nityananda Pranama

nityānandam ahaṁ naumi sarvānanda-karaṁ param hari-nāma-pradaṁ devam avadhūta-śiromaṇim

I praise Nityānanda, the supreme Lord who brings joy to everyone. He is the giver of Hari's holy name and the crown jewel of the avadhūtas, the saints who wander free of every worldly rule.

nityānandam ahaṁ vande karṇe lambita-mauktikam caitanyāgraja-rūpeṇa pavitrī-kṛta-bhūtalam

I bow to Nityānanda, from whose ear a pearl hangs. Appearing as the elder brother of Śrī Caitanya, He made the whole earth holy.

nityānanda namas tubhyaṁ premānanda-pradāyine kalau kalmaṣa-nāśāya jāhnavā-pataye namaḥ

O Nityānanda, I bow to You, who give the joy of divine love and wash away the impurity of the age of Kali. Obeisances to You, the Lord of Jāhnavā.

saṅkarṣaṇaḥ kāraṇa-toya-śāyī garbhoda-śāyī ca payo 'bdhi-śāyī śeṣaś ca yasyāṁśa-kalāḥ sa nityā- nandākhya-rāmaḥ śaraṇaṁ mamāstu

Saṅkarṣaṇa, the Lord who rests on the Causal Ocean, the Lord who rests on the Garbha Ocean, the Lord who rests on the ocean of milk, and Śeṣa are all His aṁśas and kalās, His portions and the portions of those portions. May that Rāma who is called Nityānanda be my refuge.
