(Gaura-govindārcana-smaraṇa-paddhati: 21)
“I offer obeisance to Nityānanda with a pearl dangling from his ear, who with his form as an elder brother of Caitanya purified the surface of the earth.”

(Gaura-govindārcana-smaraṇa-paddhati: 50; cited in Sādhanāmṛta-candrikā: 2.12)
“The beautiful gait of his divine feet defames the king of elephants;
His fine, dark blue cloth resembles a cluster of blue lotus flowers;
With the luster of his figure, he completely pulverizes the evening moon;
Amidst his smiling face,
His fine lotus eyes, rolling with prema, defeat the pride of the wagtail [i.e., the bird of Kāmadeva];
I meditate continuously on Nityānanda,
His body adorned with splendid ornaments.”

(Gaura-govindārcana-smaraṇa-paddhati: 51; cited in Sādhanāmṛta-candrikā: 2.13)
“The lotuses of his feet served by the bees of pure bhaktas,
His cloth kunda and moon white,
His luster pure gold,
His arms superlative,
His smiling face beautiful,
His sight on Śrī Caitanya,
His hands in [the mudrās of] benediction and refuge,
His figure adorned with the ornaments of prema—
I continuously meditate on Advaita Prabhu, the sole root of the highest bliss.”

(Gaura-govindārcana-smaraṇa-paddhati: 22)
“I offer obeisance with my head unto him, Advaitacandra, the gracious deliverer of countless persons, whose heart is completely submerged in the ocean of the nectar of prema, and who is honored and worshipped by Caitanyacandra.”
