Bengali text, Devanagari and Unicode transliteration of verse 1.3.20:

অন্যের কি দায, বিষ্ণু-দ্রোহী যে যবন তাহারাও এ শিষুর ভজিবে চরণ ॥ ২০ ॥

अन्येर कि दाय, विष्णु-द्रोही ये यवन ताहाराओ ए शिषुर भजिबे चरण ॥ २० ॥

anyera ki dāya, viṣṇu-drohī ye yavana tāhārāo e śiṣura bhajibe caraṇa || 20 ||

anyera ki daya, visnu-drohi ye yavana taharao e sisura bhajibe carana (20)

English translation:

(20) “What to speak of others, even Yavanas who are averse to Viṣṇu will worship the lotus feet of this child.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

In the Caitanya-candrāmṛta (2) it is stated: “Those who are untouched by any piety, who are completely absorbed in irreligion, and who have never received the merciful glance of the devotees or been to any holy place sanctified by them are still ecstatically dancing, loudly singing, and even rolling about on the ground because they are intoxicated by tasting the nectar of the transcendental mellows of pure love of God, given by Lord Caitanya. Let me therefore glorify that Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu.”

The Yavanas are naturally averse to Lord Viṣṇu. But even such Yavanas will give up such propensities to follow the footsteps of Śrī Gaurāṅga.
