ÇRÉ NITYÄNANDA CARITÄMÅTA<br />
Haladhara, You enjoyed unlimited pastimes. As Buddha, You<br />
manifested the principles of compassion, and in the form of<br />
Kalki, You will kill the mlecchas.<br />
“As Dhanvantari, You delivered nectar to the demigods. As<br />
the Haàsa incarnation, You imparted transcendental knowledge<br />
to the demigods, headed by Lord Brahmä. As Närada, You<br />
hold a véëä while singing Your own glories. As Vyäsadeva, You<br />
explain Your own truths. As Kåñëa, You appeared in Gokula to<br />
enjoy transcendental pastimes. You had wonderful qualities and<br />
enjoyed very sweet pastimes with Your devotees.<br />
The opening verse of Bhakti-rasämåta-sindhu states:<br />
akhila-rasämåta-mürtiù prasåmara-ruci-ruddha-tärakä-päliù<br />
kalita-çyämä-lalito rädhä-preyän vidhur jayati<br />
Let Kåñëa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead,<br />
be glorified! By virtue of His expanding attractive features,<br />
He subjugated the gopés named Tärakä and Päli<br />
and absorbed the minds of Çyämä and Lalitä. He is the<br />
most attractive lover of Çrématé Rädhäräëé and is the<br />
reservoir of pleasure for devotees in all devotional<br />
mellows.<br />

valayänäà nüpuräëäà kiìkiëénäà ca yoñitäm<br />
sa-priyäëäm abhüc chabdas tumu,m,lo räsa-maëòale<br />
A tumultuous sound arose from the armlets, ankle<br />
bells and waist bells of the gopés as they sported with<br />
their beloved Kåñëa in the circle of the räsa dance.<br />
<strong>Nityananda</strong> Prabhu continued praying, “You will fill the<br />
entire universe with kåñëa-näma-saìkértana. Loving devotional<br />
service to the Lord will be preached in each and every house.<br />
You will fill the entire world with ecstasy when You dance, along<br />
with Your devotees. Inauspiciousness disappears simply by the<br />
influence of those who eternally meditate on Your lotus feet.<br />
Your steps will nullify the misfortune of the entire world when<br />
