Bengali text, Devanagari and Unicode transliteration of verse 1.11.94:
কৃষ্ণের প্রস্তাব সব কহিতে লাগিলা কহিতে কৃষ্ণের কথা অবশ হৈলা ॥ ৯৪ ॥
कृष्णेर प्रस्ताव सब कहिते लागिला कहिते कृष्णेर कथा अवश हैला ॥ ९४ ॥
kṛṣṇera prastāva saba kahite lāgilā kahite kṛṣṇera kathā avaśa hailā || 94 ||
krsnera prastava saba kahite lagila kahite krsnera katha avasa haila (94)
English translation:
(94) Thereafter, Īśvara Purī became fully absorbed while describing topics of Lord Kṛṣṇa.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
While discussing topics of Kṛṣṇa, Īśvara Purī’s spiritual senses became almost inert. He became intoxicated in the service of the Lord as if he were directly situated in the spiritual world. The subtle and gross designations of conditioned souls who are averse to the Lord are obstacles on the path of realizing the kingdom of Vaikuṇṭha. By discussing topics of Hari, such obstacles are surpassed.
