Nityánanda consoled the disciples and vowed before them, "We will keep the Name alive. We will make all men down to the Chandáls, Vaishnavs. We will not differentiate [low] castes like the Chandáls or Muslims, but will give them all love and _bhakti_ and make them all dance [with us] at _kirtan_. We will make the realms of Bengal and Orissa blessed." The Vaishnavs shouted applause at his words.
