[His Divine Grace chants the kirtans "Are bhai, Nitai amara daya avadhi", "Nitai mora jivana dhana", "Rada majhe eka chaka name achhe grama", "Gora preme gara Nitai amara", "Iha Kali-yuga dhanya", "E-bara karuna kari Chaitnaya-Nitai", "Nitai-Chaitanya dohne bara avatara".]

Sri Advaita Prabhu sang in praise of Sri Nityananda Prabhu. His stuti (glorificaiton) is recorded in Sri Chaitanya-bhagavata (2.24.470-490):

dekhiya advaita nityanandera sri-mukha
hena nahi janena janmila kona sukha

When Advaita saw Nityananda's face, he could not understand how joyful he became.

'hari' bali' lagilena karite hunkara
pradaksina dandavata karena apara

He roared loudly and chanted the name of Hari. Then Advaita circumambulated Nityananda and offered Him obeisances.

kara-joda kariya advaita mahamati
santose karena nityananda-prati stuti

The broad-minded Advaita folded His hands and happily offered prayers to Nityananda.

You know, one day, Nityananda Prabhu came to have a meal in Sri Advaita Prabhu's house. Nityananda Prabhu kept saying, "Give more! Give more!" He ate everything! He ate everything He was given. Advaita Prabhu said, "What is this? We are poor brahman family. Why are You doing like this?" Nityananda Prabhu replied, "Why did you invite Me then!" and He took a handful of rice and threw it in Advaita Prabhu's face! "You are telling Me such things when I am taking prasad! You have made an offence!" Mahaprabhu saw this and laughed thinking, "Maha Vishnu and the Lord have met, and They are having a fight!"

"Those who have some piety can understand You." You must have mercy to understand Nitai.

"The devotional service desired by the best of the mystic yogis and sages will be obtained by anyone and everyone by Your mercy."

kahite advaita nityanandera mahima
ananda-avese pasarilena apana

As Advaita glorified Nityananda, He became absorbed in ecstasy and forgot Himself.
