English	Invisible to all but Lord Nityānanda, Lord Caitanya observed His ecstatic dancing.
English	EN CC Antya 2 1975: “Nityānanda Prabhu rested for the day, and when the day ended He went to the temple of Raghava Paṇḍita and began congregational chanting of the holy name of the Lord. Lord Nityānanda Prabhu first influenced all the devotees to dance, and finally He Himself began dancing, thus inundating the entire world in ecstatic love. Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was observing the dancing of Lord Nityānanda Prabhu. Nityānanda Prabhu could see this, but others could not. The dancing of Lord Nityānanda Prabhu, like the dancing of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, cannot be compared to anything within these three worlds. No one can properly describe the sweetness of Lord Nityānanda’s dancing. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu personally comes to see it.”
