“Going from house to house with His companions, Lord Nityananda always enjoyed pastimes of sankirtana. Elaborately dressed as the great wrestler of sankirtana, how charming was Lord Nityananda! Simply by seeing Him, everyone attained piety and bliss. On His head was a turban of many different kinds of silk. Above that were many different graceful flower garlands. On His neck were necklaces of gold, pearls, and many kinds of jewels. On His ears were peerless earrings of pearls and gold. On His wrists and arms were golden bracelets and armlets. I do not know how many flower garlands decorated His body.
His every limb was anointed with sandal paste and gorocana. His pastimes were always like those of Lord Krsna as a small cowherd boy. With His ten fingers, each wearing a golden ring, He playfully held a wonderful iron rod.
He was playfully and splendidly dressed in wonderful colorful yellow, blue, and white silk. A flute and a bamboo rod were stuck in His belt. Seeing Him or remembering Him, the people of the world felt their hearts drawn to Him. Silver anklets glistened on His graceful feet. His words were sublimely sweet.
His walking and gestures were graceful like the king of elephants. In whatever direction Lord Nityananda looked, the personified nectar of pure love for Lord Krsna at once appeared.
In this way Lord Nityananda very happily enjoyed pastimes in Navadvipa, the place of Lord Caitanya’s birth. Navadvipa was like the royal capital of Mathura. Many, many people lived there. I do not know how many. Seeing the saintly people there, a sinner would become free of the greatest sins.
Also, touching the shadow of the sinners there would destroy all piety. By Lord Nityananda’s mercy the people there were sincerely attracted to the path of devotion to Lord Krsna. Many had already been saved by Lord Caitanya. Now Lord Nityananda would deliver everyone else in the three worlds.
