Antare Nitai Bahire Nitai

1

(refrain) antare nitāi
bāhire nitāi nitāi jagatamaya nāgara nitāi
nāgari nitāi kathā ye kaya

Refrain: Nitai is within and without. He is everywhere within this world. He is the lover and He is the sweetheart.

2

sādhana nitāi
bhajana nitāi nitāi nayana tārā
daśadika maya nitāi sundara nitāi bhuvana bharā

Everyone says it. Nitai is my regulative principles, my object of worship, and the light of my eyes. Nitai is in all ten directions. In fact, He fills all the three worlds.

3

rādhāra
mādhuri anaṅga mañjarī nitāi nitu se seve koṭi śaśadhara
vadana sundara sakhā sakhī baladeve

Nitai as Ananga Manjari eternally serves sweet Srimati Radhika. He is non-different from Baladeva, whose beautiful face resembles millions of moons and is surrounded by sakhas and sakhis.

4

rādhāra bhagini
śyāmasohāginī sava sakhīgaṇa prāṇa jāṅhāra
lābari mandapa sājani śrī maṇi mandira nāma

The sister of Radharani, Ananga Manjari, is very dear to Sri Syama, and she is the life and soul of all the sakhis. She decorates the arena of the temple named Mani Mandira.

5

nitāi sundara
yogapīṭha dhare ratna siṁhāsana seje basana nitāi
bhuṣana nitāi vilase sakhīra mājhe

Nitai sustains the yogapitha and becomes a throne for the Lord to rest on. Nitai is also the dress and ornaments.

6

ki kahiba āra
nitāi sabāra aṅkhi mukha sava aṅga nitāi nitāi
nitāi nitāi nitāi nutara raṅga

He enjoys pastimes with the sakhis. What more can I say? Nitai is the eyes, mouth, and limbs of everyone. Nitai, Nitai, Nitai, Nitai, I see only Nitai dancing.

7

nitāi baliyā
dubahu tuliyā caliba vrajera pure dāsa
vṛndāvana ei nivedana nitāi nā chāḍo more

Raising my hands and chanting Nitai, I will go to Vraja. I, Vrindavana dasa, only request Nitai to kindly never leave me.
