नित्यानन्दमहं वन्दे कर्णे लम्बितमौक्तिकम् ।
चैतन्याग्रजरूपेण पवित्रीकृत-भूतलम् ॥
nityānandam ahaṁ vande karṇe lambita-mauktikam |
caitanyāgraja-rūpeṇa pavitrī-kṛta-bhū-talam ||
(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.”
