“His luster crushing the pride of a lightning front,
His chest broad,
His eyes meandering about their corners, rolling with prema,
His smiling face delighted,
Adorned with various ornaments,
Most sweet,
Wearing cloth with the splendor of clouds,
Absorbed in creating bliss for all,
The exalted Nityānandacandra,
I worship.”

“His beautiful figure mocking pure gold,
Adorned with jewels and other ornaments,
Maddened with prema,
Meandering with steps Resembling a king of elephants,
Overrun by streams of tears of prema,
Wearing fine, new white cloth and other garments,
And fond only of saṅkīrtana,
I worship Nityānanda,
the beautiful, compassionate ocean of prema.”

“His luster slightly reddish gold,
Adorned with various ornaments,
A necklace, a garland, and a splendid upavīta,
Showering prema,
His eyes rolling,
Wearing dark blue cloth,
Prabhu,
The giver of prema,
The highest bliss [personified]—
On Nityānanda,
I meditate.”
