Nadiyara Ghata Bhai Ki Adbhuta Tari
nadīyāra ghāṭe bhāi ki adbhuta tarī
nitāi galuiyā tāte caitanya kāṇḍārī
Oh brothers! At the Nadiya ghat is a wonderful ferryboat. At the bow stands Nitai, and Caitanya is the captain.
dui raghunātha śrī-jīva gopāla śrī-rūpa
sanātana pārera naukāya erā dāṇḍi chaya jana
The two Raghunathas, Sri Jiva, Sri Gopala, Sri Rupa, and Sri Sanatana, are the six oarsmen in that boat.
ke jābi bhāi bhava-pāre nitāi ḍāke
kheyāra kaḍi vinā pāra kare jāke tāke
Nitai loudly calls, "Oh my brothers! Who amongst you will cross the ocean of birth and death? Without paying even a single paisa, one and all may cross to the other shore.
ātare kātara vinā ke pāra kare bhāi
kintu pāra kare sabhe caitanya nitāi
Since one does not have to take any trouble to pay the boat fare, who will not cross the ocean? Caitanya and Nitai will take everyone across.
kṛṣṇa-dāsa bale bhāi bala hari hari
nitāi caitanyera ghāṭe nāhi lāge kaḍi
Krsna-dasa says, "Oh brothers! Please chant ' Hari Hari!' At the ghat of Nitai and Caitanya, no payment is required."
