Rūpe Guṇe Anupama Lakṣa Koṭi Manoramā

In the past He enjoyed nectar rāsa-dance pastimes with millions and millions and millions and millions of peerlessly beautiful, charming, and saintly vraja-gopīs, but now He is an avadhūta.

Alas! Alas! How can I express my grief? Why does Lord Nitāi, who in the past was the guru of all amorous heroes, and who is a kalpa-taru tree of nectar, now wander about as a sannyāsī?

Why does Lord Nitāi, whose expands as the aṁśa and kalā avatāras Lord Saṅkarṣaṇa and Lord Śeṣa, and who is always gloriously manifest in the spiritual world of Goloka, and who is beyond the seeing-power of Śiva and Brahmā, and who is beyond the Agama and Nigama scriptures, now enjoy pastimes of saṅkīrtana?

He was Lord Kṛṣṇa’s elder brother. He was the great Lord Balarāma. In the Kali-yuga He has become Śrī Nityānanda. Now He has plunged the people of the world into the nectar of love for Lord Gaura. Alas! Only Balarāma dāsa He did not plunge into that nectar. The fool Balarāma dāsa stayed far away.
