ÇRÉ NITYÄNANDA CARITÄMÅTA
Haladhara, You enjoyed unlimited pastimes. As Buddha, You
manifested the principles of compassion, and in the form of
Kalki, You will kill the mlecchas.
“As Dhanvantari, You delivered nectar to the demigods. As
the Haàsa incarnation, You imparted transcendental knowledge
to the demigods, headed by Lord Brahmä. As Närada, You
hold a véëä while singing Your own glories. As Vyäsadeva, You
explain Your own truths. As Kåñëa, You appeared in Gokula to
enjoy transcendental pastimes. You had wonderful qualities and
enjoyed very sweet pastimes with Your devotees.
The opening verse of Bhakti-rasämåta-sindhu states:
akhila-rasämåta-mürtiù prasåmara-ruci-ruddha-tärakä-päliù

Nityananda Prabhu continued praying, “You will fill the
entire universe with kåñëa-näma-saìkértana. Loving devotional
service to the Lord will be preached in each and every house.
You will fill the entire world with ecstasy when You dance, along
with Your devotees. Inauspiciousness disappears simply by the
influence of those who eternally meditate on Your lotus feet.
Your steps will nullify the misfortune of the entire world when
