Nityananda Caritamrta

Licensed for Personal Use Only
Lord Nityänanda’s Deliverance of the Merchants of Saptagräma
enced indescribable feelings. They rolled on the ground while
holding onto each other, trying to touch one another’s feet. Both
roared like lions and their madness could not be controlled.
After awhile, Lord Nityänanda became calm and sat down
in a grave mood. Magnanimous Advaita Äcärya folded His
hands and happily began offering prayers to Nityänanda:
tumi nityänanda murti nityänanda näma
murtimanta tumi caitanyera suëadhäma

“Your name is Nityänanda and indeed You are nityänanda,
eternal bliss. You are the form of Çré Caitanya’s
transcendental qualities. You deliver all living
beings and protect religious principles at the time of
annihilation. You descended to give caitanyapremabhakti.
Indeed, You are the full potency of Lord Caitanya.
