Śrī Nagar-Kīrtan – Song Seven

(Śrī-Nāma)

(refrain) 
hare kṛṣṇa hare

(refrain): Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare

(1)
nitāi ki nām eneche re
(nitāi) nām eneche, nāmer hāṭe,
śraddhā-mūlye nām diteche re

1) Oh, what a wonderful name Lord Nityānanda has brought! Nitāi has brought the divine name to the Marketplace of the Holy Name, and He is giving away that name for the mere price of your faith! Oh!

(2)
hare kṛṣṇa hare kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa hare hare re


hare rāma hare rāma rāma rāma hare hare re

2) Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Krṣna, Hare Hare – Oh! Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare – Oh!

(3)
(nitāi) jīvera daśā, malina dekhe’,
nām eneche braja theke re
e nām śiva jape pañca-mukhe re
(madhur e harinām)
e nām brahmā jape catur-mukhe re
(madhur e harinām)
e nām nārada jape vīnā-yantre re
(madhur e harinām)
e nāmābase ajāmila vaikuṇṭhe gelo re
e nām bolte bolte braje calo re
(bhaktivinoda bole)

3) Oh, seeing the miserable condition of the fallen souls of this world, Nitāi has personally brought the holy name from the transcendental realm of Vraja! Oh, Lord Śiva chants this holy name with his five mouths! This holy name is so sweet! Oh, Lord Brahmā chants this holy name with his four mouths! This holy name is so sweet! Oh, Nārada Muni chants this holy name while playing on his vīnā! This holy name is so sweet! Oh, just by the dim reflection of this holy name, the sinful Ajāmila went to Vaikuṇṭha! Bhaktivinoda therefore says, “Oh, continuously chanting this holy name, go at once to the divine realm of Vraja! This holy name is so sweet!”
