merciful, more magnanimous, more munificent than<br />

Çrémän Gauräìga Mahäprabhu.<br />

1. My Nitäi is the jewel mine of transcendental<br />

2. Çré Nitai came to Gauòa-deça with a flood of<br />

kåñëa-prema. Òubilo bhakata-gaëa déna héna bhäse,<br />

those who are bhaktas drowned in that flood, premera<br />

banya, but the déna héna, the fallen souls and those who<br />

were unfortunate, floated on the surface!<br />

3. Lord Nityänanda Prabhu offers this pure love<br />

of Godhead, pure love of Kåñëa, indiscriminately. He<br />

whether one is patita, most degraded or fallen,<br />

or one is pämara, most elevated, or whether one is<br />

qualified or not qualified. He never discriminates. Even<br />
