The news of its great results is that He is selling the pure Holy Name in that market-place for the price of only one's faith.

Lord Nityananda is greatly merciful. Taking only one's faith, He gives the highest ecstasy.

If Nitai sees only once tears in the eyes while chanting the name "Gaura", then He gives all resources to that person.

He gives the pure teachings of Krsna to everyone and does not care for one's birth, wealth, knowledge and strength.

amani chāḍe māyā-jāl gṛhe thāko, bane thāko, nā thāke jañjāl

Now, giving up the illusory snare of Maya, either remain in household life or in the forest as a sannyasi for no more troubles remain.

ār nāiko kalir bhoy ācaṇḍāle den nāma nitāi doyāmoy

There is no more fear of the age of Kali. The merciful Nityananda gives the Holy Name to even the candalas.
