nitāi caitanya duī bhāi dayāra abadhi śiba brahmāra durlabha prema yāce nirabadhi
nitai caitanya dui bhai dayara abadhi siba brahmara durlabha prema yace nirabadhi
निताइ चैतन्य दुई भाइ दयार अबधि शिब ब्रह्मार दुर्लभ प्रेम याचे निरबधि
The two brothers Nitai and Caitanya are the most merciful. Again and again They beg the people to please accept the rare ecstatic spiritual love even Brahma and Siva cannot attain.
- Verse 2
cāri bede anveṣaye ye prema pā-ite hena prema duī bhā-i yāce abirate
cari bede anvesaye ye prema pa-ite hena prema dui bha-i yace abirate
चारि बेदे अन्वेषये ये प्रेम पाइते हेन प्रेम दुई भाइ याचे अबिरते
Again and again these two brothers beg the people to please accept the rare ecstatic spiritual love the four Vedas seek.
- Verse 3
patita durgata yata kali-hata yārā nitāi caitanya bali nāce gāya tārā
patita durgata yata kali-hata yara nitai caitanya bali nace gaya tara
पतित दुर्गत यत कलिहत यारा निताइ चैतन्य बलि नाचे गाय तारा
Not even the fallen misled sinners, sinners wounded by Kali-yuga, chant “Nitai! Caitanya!” and dance.
- Verse 4
bhubana-maṅgala bhela saṅkīrtana-rase rāya ananta kānde nā pā-iyā śeṣe
bhubana-mangala bhela sankirtana-rase raya ananta kande na pa-iya sese
भुबनमङ्गल भेल सङ्कीर्तनरसे राय अनन्त कान्दे ना पाइया शेषे
Now the world has become auspicious. Now the world is flooded with the nectar of sankirtana. Alas! Ananta Raya weeps. He could not taste even a drop of that nectar.
