गायेन अनन्त, श्री-यशेर नाहि अन्त जय-भङ्ग नाहि कारु, दोङ्हे—बलवन्त ॥ ६८ ॥
gāyena ananta, śrī-yaśera nāhi anta jaya-bhaṅga nāhi kāru, doṅhe—balavanta || 68 ||
gayena ananta, sri-yasera nahi anta jaya-bhanga nahi karu, donhe—balavanta (68)
English translation:
(68) Although He has been chanting the glories of Lord Kṛṣṇa since time immemorial, He has still not come to their end. Both are unconquerable.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The word śrī-yaśera in this verse refers to the glories or qualities of Lord Kṛṣṇa. The word jaya-bhaṅga means “end.” The word doṅhe means “both Anantadeva and Kṛṣṇa,” who are the crest jewels amongst eloquent speakers.
