SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SRI NITYANANDA VANDANA
Broker’s Song (Dalalera Gita)
bada sukhera khabara gai
surabhi-kunjete namera hata khulechhe khoda nitai [1]
I am singing about the greatest news! Master Nitai has opened a marketplace
of the Holy Name at Surabhi Kunja!
bada majara katha taya
sraddha-mulye suddha-nama sei hatete vikaya [2]
This is such great news! You can buy the pure Name at this marketplace at the
cost of faith.
yata bhakta-vrnda basi’
adhikari dekhe’ nama vechchhe dara kasi’ [3]
So many devotees come here. Seeing a fit soul, He sells them the Name at a
bargain price.
yadi nama kinbe bhai
amara sange chala mahajanera kachhe yai [4]
Brother, if you want to buy this Name, come with me! I am going to this great
soul now.
tumi kinbe krsna-nama
dasturi laiba ami, purna habe kama [5]
If you buy the Holy Name, I will get a discount and my hankering will be
fulfilled.
bada dayala nityananda
sraddha-matra la’ye dena parama ananda [6]
Nityananda is very merciful – at the cost of mere faith He bestows the
greatest joy.
eka-bara dekhle chakse jala
‘gaura’ bale’ nitai dena sakala sambala [7]
If Nitai just once sees tears in someone’s eyes as they take Gaura’s Name, He
gives them all His wealth.
dena suddha krsna-siksa
jati, dhana, vidya-bala na kare apeksa [8]
He gives pure teachings of Lord Krishna without expecting any high caste,
wealth or strength of knowledge from anyone.
amani chhade maya-jala
grhe thaka, vane thaka, na thake janjala [9]
The net of illusion will fall off on its own, then wherever you are – whether
you live in a house or in a forest – there will be no more material garbage
left in your life.
ara naiko kalira bhaya
achandale dena nama nitai dayamaya [10]
There is no need to fear Kali anymore – merciful Nitai gives the Name even to
the lowest among men.
bhaktivinoda daki’ kaya
nitaichandera charana bina ara nahi asraya [11]
Bhaktivinod calls out, ‘There is no other shelter except for Nitai’s
feet!’
