Hail Hail! I wave lights to you, O Nityananda

You are the divine lord, present in human form

prathama dattarupa gheshi

dvitiya shripada hoshi

tritiya narahari hoshi

gangapuri leela davishi

First you became Datta, the original Guru

Secondly you took the form of Shripad

Thirdly you became Narahari1

You show your play in Gangapuri (this earthly plane)

You fulfill the desires of devotees

You love the children very much
