hāḍāi-paṇḍita-nāma śuddha-vipra-rāja mūle sarva-pitā tāne kare pitā-vyāja || 39 ||
hadai-pandita-nama suddha-vipra-raja mule sarva-pita tane kare pita-vyaja (39)
English translation:
(39) The exalted Hāḍāi Paṇḍita was the king of the brāhmaṇas. He was accepted as the father of Lord Nityānanda, who is the original father of all.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Hāḍāi Paṇḍita, or Hāḍo Ojhā, was born in a Maithila brāhmaṇa family. His wife’s name was Padmāvatī. Although Lord Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu is the father of all universes, the Vaikuṇṭhas, the living entities, and the viṣṇu-tattvas, He nevertheless appeared as the son of Hāḍāi Paṇḍita.
Some time back a false rumor was spread that Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu was born in a non-brāhmaṇa family. This is totally baseless and born from the duplicitous smārtas’ envy and hatred of Lord Viṣṇu.
