rings on His toes. He dressed fine white, blue, and yellow clothing.<br />
The Lord looked very enchanting dressed in this way.<br />
Garlands of Arabian jasmine and campaka flowers swung<br />
around His neck. Sandalwood paste was applied to His beautiful<br />
limbs. His head was adorned with a turban made of fine cloth<br />
that was decorated with flowers of various colors. The beauty<br />
of His supremely attractive face defeated the beauty of millions<br />
of moons. He continuously smiled and chanted the holy<br />
name of Lord Hari. In whichever direction Nityänanda Prabhu<br />
glanced, His lotus eyes would sprinkle showers of kåñëa-prema.<br />
He sported with a stick that was made of fine gold-plated sculptured<br />
iron. He always carried this stick in His hand in the mood<br />
of Lord Balaräma, who had carried a similar stick.<br />
Nityänanda Prabhu’s associates, who were in the mood of<br />
cowherd boys of Våndävana, offered varieties of ornaments,<br />
such as bracelets, bangles, anklets, rings, garlands, a horn, stick,<br />
flute, rope, and garland of guïjä to their beloved Nityänanda.<br />
Nityänanda, by His own sweet will, enjoyed varieties of pastimes<br />
with His associates.<br />
Lord Nityänanda, along with His associates, visited the<br />
houses of the devotees. He traveled to all the villages on both<br />
sides of the Ganges, spreading the glories of the holy name of<br />
Kåñëa. He constantly enjoyed the transcendental mellows of loving<br />
relationships. His name and form are nondifferent. Simply<br />
seeing Him, all living entities became captivated. Even atheists<br />
would immediately offer prayers to Nityänanda as soon as they<br />
saw Him and at once desired to offer everything to Him.<br />
The transcendental body of Nityänanda Svarüpa was very<br />
sweet and attractive. He generously bestowed His mercy upon<br />
everyone. Whether eating, sleeping, or traveling, He did not<br />
waste a moment by not performing näma-saìkértana. Wherever<br />
Nityänanda performed saìkértana and danced in ecstasy,<br />
He captivated the minds of hundreds of people. Even illiterate<br />
village children, being infused with the potency of Nityänanda<br />
Prabhu, would pull big trees out of the ground without difficulty.<br />
They would roar loudly as they uprooted the trees, shouting,<br />
“We are cowherd boys!” The strength of one child was such that<br />
even seven men could not control him.<br />
