ÇRÉ NITYÄNANDA CARITÄMÅTA<br />
Çré Näräyaëa, Çré Kåñëadäsa, and Çré Devänanda were also associates<br />
of Lord Nityänanda.<br />
I would be unable to disclose the names of all the innumerable<br />
servants of Lord Nityänanda even in one hundred years.<br />
Each of Lord Nityänanda’s servants had innumerable followers<br />
and, by the mercy of Lord Nityänanda, they were equal to their<br />
spiritual master. All of them were absorbed in the transcendental<br />
mellows of loving service to Çré Caitanya. Çré Caitanya and<br />
Nityänanda were their life and only treasure. I have only described<br />
the few associates of Lord Nityänanda I knew. More will<br />
be disclosed later by Vedavyäsa.<br />
The last servant of Lord Nityänanda was Våndävana däsa<br />
Öhäkura, who was the son of Näräyaëé, the recipient of Lord<br />
Caitanya’s mercy. Even today, Näräyaëé is accepted as the recipient<br />
of Lord Caitanya’s mercy among the Vaiñëavas who had received<br />
it. Take shelter of those devotees of the Lord, O brothers,<br />
and worship the most merciful Nityänanda and Çré Gauräìga.<br />
Accepting the lotus feet of Çré Caitanya and Nityänanda<br />
Prabhu as my life and soul, I, Våndävana däsa, sing the glories<br />
of Their lotus feet.<br />
A Song by Çréla Våndävana däsa Öhäkura<br />
mana nityänanda bali òäka<br />

hådaya kamale kari räkha<br />
kiba se madura lélä naöana kértana kalä<br />

lei paraçile hema kare<br />
nitäi caitanya guëe gäna kare katajane<br />
