gan striking each other with their fists. After swiftly defeating
the demon, Hanumän went to Gandhamädana Hill. There he
fought with some boys dressed as Gandharvas. After defeating
the Gandharvas, Hanumän took Gandhamädana Hill on his
head to Laìkä. Another boy playing a doctor meditated on Lord
Räma as he held the medicine to Lakñmaëa’s nose. At that very
moment, Lord Nityänanda came to His senses. His parents and
others smiled in relief. Häòäi Paëòita embraced his son and all
the boys were overjoyed.
Everyone asked, “Dear son, where have You learned all
these plays?”
“These are all My pastimes,” The Lord smilingly said.
In His early childhood, the Lord was most attractive. No one
wanted Him to leave his lap. Everyone had more affection for
Lord Nityänanda than for his own son, but none could recognize
Him due to the influence of Lord Viñëu’s illusory energy.
In His childhood, Lord Nityänanda had no other happiness
than enjoying the pastimes of Lord Kåñëa. All His friends left
their parents to constantly sport in the company of the Lord. I
offer repeated obeisances at the feet of those boys who enjoyed
the association of Lord Nityänanda. From His childhood, Lord
Nityänanda had no interest other than enacting the pastimes
of Lord Kåñëa. Who can describe the pastimes of Lord Ananta?
They are only manifest to one who has received His mercy.
Accepting Çré Caitanya and Çré Nityänanda Prabhu as my
life and soul, I, Våndävana däsa, sing the glories of Their lotus
feet.
