then just sing the glories of the beautiful Son of Mother Saci (Saci-nandana).

He is the treasure of the life of Sri Nityananda Prabhu (Nita'yer Prana-dhana).

The fair-complexioned Lord (Gora) is the most worshipable object of Sri Advaita

Acarya (Advaiter Prapujita). He is affectionately called Nimai by His mother,

due to being born under a neem tree, and He has been named Visvambhar (the

Lord of Sri Mayapur-dham (Mayapur-iswar), and the propagator of His own holy

name (Nama-pravartana). He is saintly in behavior (Sura), and is the instructor

of householders (Grhi-jana-siksaka). He is the hero of those who are in the

renounced order (Nyasi-kula-nayaka). He is the husband of the Goddess of

Fortune (Madhava), and He is overflowing with the ecstatic sentiments of

(Sarvabhauma-sodhana), the deliverer of King Pratapa Rudra (Gajapati-tarana),

and the source of nourishment for Srila Ramananda Raya (Ramananda-posana). He

is a great hero (Vira). He increases the ecstasy of Srila Rupa Goswami

(Braja-rasa-bhavana). He is the destroyer of all wicked mentalities

(Dusta-mata-satana), and He crushes the cheating propensity of pretending

devotees (Kapati Vighatana). He is as beautiful as Cupid (Kama). He maintains

and protects His pure devotees (Suddha-bhakta-palana), and He condemns dry,

speculative knowledge (Suska-jnana tadana). He smashes pretentious and

hypocritical devotion (Chala-bhakti-dusana), and He is the reservoir of

pleasure (Rama).
