নিত্যানন্দ-মহাপ্রভু—প্রভুর বডাই তাঙ্র পাছে প্রভু, আর কিছু চিহ্ন নাই অতএব সবে চিনিলেন `প্রভু এই’ বেশে কেহ লখিতে না পারে `প্রভু সেই’ ॥ ১২৪-১২৫ ॥
नित्यानन्द-महाप्रभु—प्रभुर बडाइ ताङ्र पाछे प्रभु, आर किछु चिह्न नाइ अतएव सबे चिनिलेन `प्रभु एइ’ वेशे केह लखिते ना पारे `प्रभु सेइ’ ॥ १२४-१२५ ॥
nityānanda-mahāprabhu—prabhura baḍāi tāṅra pāche prabhu, āra kichu cihna nāi ataeva sabe cinilena `prabhu ei’ veśe keha lakhite nā pāre `prabhu sei’ || 124-125 ||
nityananda-mahaprabhu—prabhura badai tanra pache prabhu, ara kichu cihna nai ataeva sabe cinilena `prabhu ei’ vese keha lakhite na pare `prabhu sei’ (124-125)

(124-125) Since the Lord walked behind Nityānanda Prabhu, who was the Lord’s elderly lady companion, everyone could understand, “This is the Lord.” Otherwise, no one could recognize Him by His dress.
