Āyata Nityānanda Adabhuta Cānda

Lord Nityānanda is like a wonderful glorious moon. His walking and dancing are graceful. He enchants everyone in the three worlds.

His eyes and face are glorious and handsome. His two arms glisten like lotus flowers and black bees. His red lips glisten like the dawning sun. His teeth are like a row of pearls.

The souls suffering in this world of birth and death He splashes with the nectar of kind words. With the glorious effulgence of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra He destroys the blinding darkness of sinful desires.

Surrounded on four sides by His asosciates, He is like a moon surrounded by a host of stars, a moon that lights up the night. He is Jāhnavā’s graceful beloved. Yearning to attain His graceful lotus feet, Kānu dāsa speaks these words.
