ÇRÉ NITYÄNANDA CARITÄMÅTA<br />
though it is very difficult for Brahmä to get such prema,<br />
Çré Nitäi gives it indiscriminately.<br />
4. That prema is karuëä-sindhu—like an ocean of<br />
mercy. Nitäi broke down the strong embankment of the<br />
ocean of love. He completely devastated that dam! That<br />
ocean of love is unlimited, and so there was a torrential<br />
flooding that inundated every home. Indeed, that flood<br />
of love inundated the entire world!<br />
5. Locana däsa says, “He is an unfortunate fellow<br />
who does not take shelter of Nitäi and does not perform<br />
the bhajana of Çré Nityänanda Prabhu, begging for the<br />
mercy of Çré Nitäi. He willingly commits suicide.<br />

2. What is the price? çraddhäväna jana he! çraddhäväna<br />
