Param Karuna Pahu Dui Jana

Translation:

(1) The two Lords, Nitai-Gauracandra, are very merciful. They are the essence of all incarnations. The
specific significance of these incarnations is that They introduced a process of chanting and dancing that is
simply joyful.

(2) My dear brother, I request that you just worship Lord Caitanya and Nityananda with firm conviction and
faith. If one wants to be Krishna conscious by this process, one has to give up his engagement in sense
gratification. One simply has to chant, "Hare Krishna! Hari Hari!" without any motive.

(3) My dear brother, just try and examine this. Within the three worlds there is no one like Lord Caitanya or
Lord Nityananda. Their merciful qualities are so great that upon hearing them even birds and beasts cry and
stones melt.

(4) But Locana dasa regrets that I am entrapped by sense gratification. Since I have no attraction for the lotus
feet of Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda, then Yamaraja, the superintendent of death, is punishing me by
not allowing me to be attracted by this movement.

This is a song by Locana dasa Thakura. Pahu means "Lord," and dui jana means "two." Locana dasa
Thakura declares that the two Lords, Nitai-Gauracandra—Lord Nitai and Lord Caitanya—are very
merciful (parama koruna). Saba avatara-sara siromani. Avatara means "incarnation," and saba means "all."
They are the essence of all incarnationself-realization is simply joyful (kevala ananda-kanda), for They
introduced chanting and dancing. There are many incarnations, like Lord Rama and even Krishna, who
taught Bhagavad-gita, which requires knowledge and understanding. But Lord Caitanya and
Nityananda introduced a process that is simply joyful—simply chant and dance. Therefore, Locana dasa
requests everyone, bhajo bhajo bhai, caitanya-nitai: "My dear brother, I request that you just worship
Lord Caitanya and Nityananda with firm conviction and faith." Don’t think that this chanting and dancing will
not lead to the desired goal. It will. It is the assurance of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu that one will get all
perfection by this process. Therefore one must chant with firm faith and conviction (biswasa kori’).
But what is the process? The process is vishaya chariya, se rase majiya. If one wants to be Krishna conscious by
this process, one has to give up his engagement in sense gratification. That is the only restriction. If one gives
up sense gratification, it is sure that he will reach the desired goal. Mukhe bolo hari hari: one simply has to
chant, "Hare Krishna! Hari Hari!" without any motive of sense gratification.
Dekho ore bhai, tri-bhuvane nai. Locana dasa Thakura says, "My dear brother, you just try and examine
this. Within the three worlds there is no one like Lord Caitanya or Lord Nityananda, because Their
merciful qualities are so great that They make even birds and beasts cry, what to speak of human beings."
Actually, when Lord Caitanya passed through the forest known as Jharikhanda, the tigers, elephants, snakes,
deer, and all other animals joined Him in chanting Hare Krishna: It is so nice that anyone can join. Even the
animals can join, what to speak of human beings. Of course, it is not possible for ordinary men to induce
animals to chant, but if Caitanya Mahaprabhu could inspire animals to chant, at least we can encourage
human beings to adopt this path of Hare Krishna mantra chanting. It is so nice that even the most stonehearted
man will be melted. Pashana means "stone." It is so nice that even stone will melt.
But Locana dasa Thakura regrets that he is entrapped by sense gratification. He addresses himself, "My dear
mind, you are entrapped in this sense gratification process, and you have no attraction for chanting Hare
Krishna. Since you have no attraction for the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda, what can I say? I
can simply think of my misfortune. Yamaraja, the superintendent of death, is punishing me by not allowing me
to be attracted by this movement."s. The specific significance of these incarnations is that prosecuting Their
