ÇRÉ NITYÄNANDA CARITÄMÅTA
stood aside with awe and reverence. No one said a word; they simply stared at Him. Mahäprabhu Viçvambhara then came before Nityänanda Prabhu, who at once understood His beloved and worshipable Lord was present. The form of Viçvambhara was as beautiful as that of Cupid. He wore attractive garments and was decorated with a flower garland. Sandalwood paste decorated His forehead. The luster of gold appeared most insignificant before the transcendental body of Lord Nityänanda. Even the moongod hankers to see His enchanting face. The Lord’s teeth resembled rows of pearls, and upon seeing His attractive hair, one would practically lose consciousness. While gazing at His two broad pinkish eyes, one wonders, “Are these lotus flowers?” His two long arms reached to His knees. A fine thin sacred thread beautified His broad chest. His forehead was wonderfully decorated with marks of tilaka and His body looked enchanting even without ornaments. His fingernails defeated the beauty of millions of jewels. His attractive smile was sweeter than nectar. Viçvambhara stood in front of Nityänanda Prabhu, who at once recognized the Lord of His heart. Nityänanda Prabhu, out of joy, became stunned with ecstasy. He stared at Lord Viçvambhara without blinking His eyes. He desired to lick Viçvambhara with His tongue and drink His beauty through His eyes. Nityänanda Prabhu desired to embrace Viçvambhara with His arms and smell Him with His nose, but He was simply stunned. No one could speak or move, being astonished. Lord Gauräìga, the life and soul of everyone, beheld the situation and began to invent ways to reveal Nityänanda Prabhu. With a gesture, the Lord instructed Çréväsa to recite a verse from Çrémad-Bhägavatam. Understanding the Lord’s intention, Çréväsa Paëòita at once recited a verse from Çrémad Bhägavatam glorifying Kåñëa’s attractive form. barhäpéòaà naöa-vara-vapuù karëayoù karëikäraà bibhrad väsaù kanaka-kapiçaà vaijayantéà ca mäläm randhrän veëor adhara-sudhayäpürayan gopa-våndair våndäraëyaà sva-pada-ramaëaà präviçad géta-kértiù
